[Irrelevant Dude]

Another one bites the dust.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Adbert sucks, and you will never convince me otherwise.

He's not even pretending to hold runners on. Let's see if it costs another run

[Derwood]

His fastball just keeps tailing over the heart of the plate

[We Got The Whole 9]

Horrible choice again by Counsell I just don't horsefeathers understand. Nobody is having a hard time distinguishing his pitches.

[Cubfanintheknow]

Adbert is a mess. He needs fixing on a mound somewhere away from the Cubs.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Repeatedly wasting unbelievable starting pitching performances just sucks so bad.

[s2obed]

Bullpen needed so much help this offseason... Shoulda done more Jed.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Yeah this bullpen is a serious mess right now. Will help once you get Steele and Wicks back but Hoyer had to add more arms. Hopefully the bats can wake up a bit

hahaha and now the other tally!

My finger is itching to make the post.  6 outs away.

[Crusader]

Alzolay doesn’t seem to be able to throw his sweeper off the outside corner. Whenever he throws a slider off the plate, it just looks like a cutter. There isn’t any vertical drop, and the hitters are picking up on it and not swinging. 
 

I don’t know if it’s mechanical or if that’s what he’s trying to do with the slider, but it just isn’t effective.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

gotta be demoralizing to get BABIPd when trying to work on mechanics

[Irrelevant Dude]

Oh look, a stolen base and a single.

[UMFan83]

Well might as well let him stay in now that its nice and blown

[LBiittner]

32 pitches and gets just one out.

[Illiterate Scholar]

Can we stop with the auto-steals. Those runs do matter

There are no right answers it seems like.  Neris is out today, guessing he wanted Leiter for the 9th.  I don't like it either but horsefeathers not sure what to even do.

The right answer is to just not use Alzolay in a 1 run game again unless he’s the last guy in the pen.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Gotta control the run game too, just letting them take second base is not a good move. Resulted in 2 runs there

[Rex Buckingham]

All 3 runs scored after easy stolen bases were followed by singles

[abuck1220]

the bullpen whisperer does it again.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Ad-booooooo-rt

[itisallpartoftheplan]

1 out on what was really a walk. Impressive.

Right. No reason to trust Adbert at this time.

Just make it now. Either you’re right or you can take credit for a reverse jinx.
