4/11 Pirates (Musgrove) @ Cubs (Quintana) 6:35 CDT TV: NBCSCH

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

It is clear that the Cubs, and we its fans, do not deserve good things. And so, what horrifically overated movie could I use as a gif theme for this horrifically overrated baseball team?

Good point, PSH!

 

Quintana is broken and he'll probably be a slightly-worse-than-league-average inning-eater for the rest of his Cubs career. I suppose that isn't too bad, except we cleared out the rest of our now-pathetic farm system to get him. Joaquin, if you got the chance to meet Q, what would you tell him?

Better answer than I was expecting, crazy person.

 

Gah, why am I even bothering to pretend to put effort into this? I'm going to bed.

Oh god now we have Quintana going? I was really hoping we could finally win a series

[Cubswin11]

I have confidence that Q pitches well in this one

all our good hitters are declining, we have no good pitchers, and the farm system is barren. go cubs!

At least Addison Russell will be back in a few weeks.

These bullpen numbers are just absurd. 38% HR/FB and 6.3 BB/9 :barf:

Thats somewhat relieving because there's no way those HR/FB numbers continue, on the other hand, a lot of these guys can't throw baseballs

[CubinNY]

He won’t miss a bat tonight.

Isn’t Musgrove another one of those MLB pitchers that’s pretty average that the Cubs can’t seem to figure out?

5/30/18 - 7.0IP, 7H, 4BB, 1R, 5K

 

8/18/18 - 7.0IP, 5H, 0BB, 1R, 7K (I believe this was 1 solo HR per game series)

 

 

 

So yes, so far.

watching a cubs game now kind of feels like it did in 2013-2014 when the results didn't matter, and we just wanted the key hitters to do well so we could have fun cubs baseball again in the future. just a much sadder and more desperate version.

[PackLandVA]

Well, there goes the no-hitter.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Yep. Baseball is still stupid.

Nah, Musgrove has more than average talent and may end up the Pirates’ best SP on a decent staff

 

My point wasn’t about what Musgrove might become. It’s the fact that he’s been just so so, maybe a tad better against teams not from Chicago’s north side. Against the Cubs, he’s unhittable.
