7/28 - Cubs (Q) @ Cardinals (Mikolas) - 3:05

[Derwood]

In before Duke tells us everything is fine

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The good news is that this is all playing out exactly like Epstein's Boston run did, so we still probably have one more championship coming as he flails around with pitching.

Duke says everything is OK

[dfnowak]

I’m wearing my “Try Not To Suck” T-shirt today. The Cubs aren’t listening

[UMFan83]

Starting Pitching ERA in July - 5.45

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Man, Q needed 34 pitches to get the first out.

I miss Chris Bosio

 

I miss the performance of Chris Bosio pitching staffs not necessarily the old racist himself

[Cubswin11]

We deserve to lose every game Almora hits 2nd vs righties

[TMan92]

And he gets Willson’d in the last pitch

[dfnowak]

I thought the Cubs were a good 2nd half team?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I wouldn't mind Q just throwing every pitch right down the middle. Let's just get some contact.

[TMan92]

Bosio is laughing his unemployed racist ass off somewhere.

Yes on the former

[gobigred]

We are going to have to start making sure our position players are on a rest schedule for when they have to pitch

[Bryants Disco Ball]

OK. Go get him.

[Perd]

Well, back to Words of Radiance.

[dfnowak]

I wonder how much of Q’s performance is related to throwing 120 pitches last outing?

I for one am shocked Derwood didn’t read the last couple of posts before posting something

[UMFan83]

Good point. The Cubs needed him to grind out an extra inning because we couldn’t afford another 5-6 inning start and now it could be biting us on the other end. It’s a never ending cycle

[dfnowak]

I also miss Eloy and Cease

[UMFan83]

Yeah when they don’t have a complete dumpster fire rotation

[CyHawk_Cub]

2nd worst staff BB/9 in baseball

[Bryants Disco Ball]

What's the most runs we have scored in the first inning this season? Is that easy to look up? It dawned on me that I don't remember jumping on a team like this, but I also know a lot of games have been played.

[TMan92]

Not sure how you don’t go into the offseason thinking about trading some major league depth for a top starter. This isn’t going to get any better with Lester getting older.
