And you wonder why J-Hey’s WAR is not that great despite his hitting. That was horsefeathering awful

 

What are you talking about? That ball took a weird ass hop off the concrete at the base of the wall.

 

Not to mention it was going about 200mph since our BP coach is in there lobbing 85 down the middle.

 

Yeah it felt like BFIBB there complaining about Dexter for no real reason. That was not Heyward's fault, sheesh

Hendricks is one of the top 5 most consequential Cubs pitchers of all time, but he is just not a major league pitcher right now. Edited by ScrubMD

His ability to locate is absolute horsefeathers. Never seen him consistently miss this bad and often, his velo is fine. He must just be a mess mechanically with something(s).

I don’t know it looked like he was conceding it was a HR and thus was not prepared for the deflection that ended up going right past him

I’m a bit worried about the rotation. Still have time to turn it around but all 5 of them are signed for at least 2 seasons beyond this. Short of sending one or more to the pen, trading them or DFAing them we are going to war with these guys for the foreseeable future

Yeah, his velo is fine so I think this is just a slump. Since he became good his struggles have generally been when he's only throwing like 85.

Hey it looks like our old pitching coach is available again if you can deal with the whole racist thing

Good horsefeathering lord I can't believe how slow Almora is. That ball wasn't even hit that hard.

So like...just *how* racist were Bosio's comments?

They should mostly be fine and figure it out. Theo isn’t going to keep running them out if they suck/are hurt either if he can help it. Alzolay, Monty, Smyly and probably (hopefully) another guy emerges as internal options between next year and the year after too, the answers could be under control already if guys suck/get hurt.

He’s still horsefeathering slow and doesn’t beat that out even if he’s 100%

Really wanted last night to kick start some serious momentum. It's gonna take a ridiculous effort from the bullpen to make that possible here.

Watch the bullpen pitch 7 scoreless innings and the Cubs lose 6-5
