Cubs (Assad) vs Marlins (Oller): 8/25/24, 12:40pm

[We Got The Whole 9]

We are chasing way too much so far

[WhyCantWeWin]

Really hate seeing Wisdom starting, he’s only good for the random homerun. 

[Crusader]

Bethancourt has been unbelievable for the Cubs. What a good pick up he’s been.

Bethancourt: somehow more clutch than Nico, Dansby and Wisdom combined

I like Wisdom, but idk why Parades isn’t in the lineup today. RH SP that’s throwing 95 mph and lives in the top of the zone isn’t a good match up for P. Wis, and Parades hits the fastball well.

Now that he's settled in and calmed down Dempster's a pretty great PBP guy.

[LBiittner]

Why is Craig playing p-wis ?

It seems like a p-waste to me.

I understand paredes isn't hitting, but his fielding isn't much of an issue. At least I don't hold my breath on everything hit his way

Assad ain't got crap today

[Cubbies1996]

Walks aren’t even the issue today. Just getting demolished by this awful Marlins lineup lol

Parades really needed a mental day off I would say. I would have played Vazquez but Counsell clearly thinks very little of him

5 hits in 2 innings against hitters a good starter would dispose of quickly

[Cubbies1996]

Jesus Christ Wisdom…

[Irrelevant Dude]

Can we please send Patrick Wisdom to whatever farm in the country that David Bote is living at now?

[LBiittner]

Pwis taking care of business lol

[WhyCantWeWin]

Get Vazquez in there!!

[Hank White]

At least when P wiz pinch hits, he only strikes out once. Headed towards the golden ..

That was a pretty weak ejection tho

[Tryptamine]

Thrown out without saying a word to the umpire. I swear being an umpire requires a persecution complex.

[chibears55]

Wont be seeing him the rest of game, he just got tossed for slamming his helmet after striking out looking. 

[Hank White]

Can he cut himself from the team, next??🤣🤣

They know A.I. is here 

[Tryptamine]

I have no desire to see Assad as a starter next year.

I agree.  Even when he has been "good", he has been some combination of lucky and inefficient.  But I don't mind him in a bullpen/swing man role.

[Cubbies1996]

They’re going to have one of those 2 run games against this pitching staff aren’t they?
