[UMFan83]

Drew Smyly last 9 appearances

 

4.2 IP, 5 R

5.2 IP, 3 R

6 IP, 3 R

6 IP, 5 R

5 IP, 0 R

3.2 IP, 7 R

3.2 IP, 3 R

4 IP, 4 R

6 IP, 5 R

3 IP, 4 R (so far)

There are a couple adequate appearances in there but for the most part he's not going long into games and he's giving up a healthy amount of runs almost every time out.

Take Smily out please

What is it about the throw to second that seems to cause pitchers way more of an issue than it should?

The mound

[Tryptamine]

Palencia has no idea where it's going

[Tryptamine]

1 strike in the last 9 pitches

[UMFan83]

Cool Arenado up with the bases loaded in a tie game against a pitcher who isnt throwing strikes.

 

Thank the umps for bailing him out on the first pitch by calling a strike

 

lmao and a wild pitch gives the Cardinals the lead.  Nice work

Nicely done Palencia

[UMFan83]

Really feels like with a couple of not even major additional moves in the offseason this team could have been a lot better.  Would have loved to have seen if Jed could have made a couple of minor moves at the beginning of July to fill a couple gaps and help the Cubs play into the position of buyers.  Instead we continually see the Cubs holes costing them games.

[UMFan83]

I really cant complain about bad calls after yesterday but woof this dude is terrible.

[UMFan83]

Belli!  What a nice piece of hitting

[muntjack]

Ok now I don't want to lose this guy. 

[Cubs420psd]

Extend that man.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Sieya with a terrible 3-0 chase and it worked out!

[UMFan83]

The way this game is going, not getting 1-2 more with bases loaded and 1 out may hurt

Someone, maybe even on here, noted that if we had just signed Eovaldi instead of Taillon at similar money and done nothing else differently this team would probably be in buying position.

I'm not here to defend jed, but you could just as easily say we'd be way worse if we had gotten a non-dansby shortstop and someone other than bellinger

Jed still sucks though

He did very well on Dansby+Bellinger+Tauchman. The problem is that Mancini+Taillon+Smyly+Barnhart+Hosmer have all been absolutely miserable disasters.

So, uh, rain, you gonna stop any time soon?

It can keep raining for all I care, call the game!

[Tryptamine]

I'd honestly prefer Bellinger not be on a wet slippery field a week before the trade deadline.
