He really needs some kind of break to get his head clear. His stuff is too good to be this bad.

[TruffleShuffle]

jaxon sucks so [expletive] bad.

[davell]

I honestly think that when we give him away, he'll pitch much better. But not until then.

People keep talking about his stuff but all I ever see is line shots all over the park. He's good enough to be an MLB pitcher, I guess, but I don't see anything in his stuff I like more than any other pitcher in the rotation.

Rockies all have their pants rolled up. A+ for effort.

Jackson's problem is that he's wild in the zone and he can't keep the ball down. When he throws strikes he's getting too much of the plate.

I'm so in love with Rizzo.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm pretty confident Alcantara can be a useful player next year.

[CincyCubsFan]

JD with the obscure Seinfeld reference. Awesome.

[Schwarber Fan]

And now they won't score again.

Is it possible the Cubs paid Jaxon all that money to blow every 5 days and help the Cubs get good draft picks?

Does Bosio give EJax any love?

All part of the plan on parallel fronts

[ScrubMD]

So what would happen if they just left Jackson out there for like 300 pitches? Could they get in trouble for that somehow?

[Schwarber Fan]

Let's go for the single game LOB record!

The record is 20 fwiw. Boston in 1956.

Boni Bomb!

[PackLandVA]

Emilio has to have some value in a trade, no??

He should/probably does, but if we are going to try and win games next year and the year after he's a nice to piece to keep. Like Valbuena he probably has more value in keeping, unless someone is really willing to overpay.

[jersey cubs fan]

I get back from softball and we're still in the 4th? This team is more like Boston than I ever thought. Hope they have chicken and beer in the clubhouse.

[jersey cubs fan]

Gotta love a game when the Cubs can win but Jackson cannot.

 

 

 

Maybe he'll get one tomorrow.

Zangief just caught a foul ball
