This. Fucking. Bullpen.
« on: April 20, 2016, 10:40:04 AM »
I know it's early, but I don't recall a season in which every single member of the Cubs' bullpen was a welcome sight - and by no fault of the starting rotation. Travis Wood has been getting tapped around lately but other than that, there has been nothing to complain about here. We have a well-deserved Rondon thread but the rest of these guys merit a thread of their own where we can comment on our hard percentage after they put games away with the precision they did last night.

Jedd Jerkoff, have a seat.

Grichuk running his record up to 0 for 5 with 5 strikeouts against Strop by whiffing completely on three straight sliders was my favorite.

Totally agree. This is the best bullpen I can remember the Cubs having. 

There's not one guy that I get nervous about seeing (early season alert acknowledged)

I'm a touch concerned that Wood's velocity appears down from where it was after he switched to the pen last year, but guys add velocity as the year goes along, generally.

Even Neil Ramirez with his somewhat diminished fastball is an awfully good guy to have as your 4th or 5th best middle reliever as long as he can spot the fastball at 93/94 and still has his slider.

I love the fact that every start this season has gone at least 6 innings, and it only gets tougher from there.

I also wish I could come up with an entertaining nickname for Trevor Cahill, but "Pillsbury Throwboy" has already been used.
