6/30 Cubs (EJAX) @ Mariners (Bondy) - 310, CSN

Oh good. Walk someone before you give up your next bomb, Camp. Well played.

[Castros trade value]

Camp stinks

[Andy]

And now we have Hector Rondon in a high-leverage spot. The Cubs have had bad bullpens before, but I can't remember one where there was really only 1 pitcher who was any good whatsoever. Edited June 30, 2013 by Andy

i think we've reached the point where camp needs to be DFA'ed so that sveum can't use him any more.

We just DFA'd the other complete dog [expletive] pitcher in the pen like a week ago. It'll be at least another month before we're rid of Camp.

 

marmol wasn't even complete dog [expletive]! he was actually okay when not used in high leverage situations. and at least marmol USED to be good not too long ago. camp's average fastball is a robust 86mph, which most of our rookie ball players can probably manage. the fork in his back is actually visible. almost anybody from the tennessee and iowa bullpens would be a better option, honestly.

Hey! My Grandma just texted me - she hit a home run into the 2nd deck against Shawn Camp

[Tracer Bullet]

I'm getting HRs hit on either side of me. Ugh.

 

If the Cubs lose I'm blaming you for jinxing it after I finally got my first win starting a game thread. :P

 

Worth it

[Schwarber Fan]

Rondon is brutal too

[Schwarber Fan]

That's all on Rizzo for the 2nd stab

[Ballgame64]

Nice job Hector Rondon. Hopefully the offense can add on a couple of more runs in the ninth.

[Andy]

Exhale. Of course, now we're headed for the Kevin Gregg high-wire act.

[TruffleShuffle]

never thought i'd be happy that we got through the bad part of our bullpen so that we could turn the ball over to one of our top relievers, kevin gregg.

It's pretty amazing how bad the bullpen is. Not sure if it's possible another team has a worse collection of pitchers, even with Marmol gone.

"Gregg could have faked the pitch and Morales would have swung"

[Schwarber Fan]

Atta boy, KG!

There is no justification for Shawn Camp on this roster, it's like Theo/Jed are doubling down on Sveums stupidity, who shouldn't even be using him in the first place.
