jon sucks, game is over

 

yeah this team has shown no capacity to come back from multi-run deficits this year.

Would Bote be a trade asset for teams to try and get? The staff is a shatshow right now.. What would it take to get Archer?

 

If Lester regresses like his numbers say we are really screwed. He will regress (or is regressing based on his last couple starts) but hopefully its to around a 3.50 ERA pitch and not a 4.20 ERA guy.

 

Hendricks I'm not sure how to feel about. It's not like he's lost his stuff, it seems like he has lost the command of his stuff. He will either get it back and go back to being a solid #2 starter or he wont and continue to fade to a back of the rotation guy.

 

If the rest helped Q's shoulder he should be fine and able to live up to expectations. The rest is a mess. Monty has been awful his last 3 starts, Chatwood is a lost cause and I've given up expecting Darvish to come back this year...if he does great.

 

Yeah its quite a mess overall

 

Looks like some of that Lester regression is coming today.

[Old Style]

Uh, WTF?

[Schwarber Fan]

Gonna be a miserable day.

[UMFan83]

Duke - quick write an article about how shitty the Cubs starting pitching has been and will continue to be.

[Bertz]

Jon was due for one of these. Sucks it's the day before a double header, but whatever. Rosario and Norwood will need to eat some innings, and Farrell and Chavez will come up tomorrow in their place.

[TMan92]

We are screwed for tomorrow. Just let Jon wear it today.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

All of our pitchers are bad.

[Andy]

Let's hope Lester packs all his regression into one start.

[ScrubMD]

I feel like we're going to need a couple starters if we don't want our bullpen to literally die.

[TMan92]

Not sure I completely buy it but here is an interesting take

Jon has a couple sh*t the bed starts every year, he was due.

[Brian]

hot take - cubs still win this one

[Old Style]

WILLY BOMB!

[TMan92]

i thought Addy hit that one a lot harder.

[Cubswin11]

If we aren’t within 5 come the 6th just let Tommy finish off the game. Then DL him and bring Bote back up

[TMan92]

Would be really cool if Bryant could homer here.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Would be really cool if Bryant could homer here.

he will never homer again

[Brian]

we got ourselves a stew going

[Cubswin11]

Do it
