I want Kilian to have a great game. He seems so capable but he can’t miss bats. 
 

I don’t have a lot of confidence he’s ever going to make it as a starter.

This is the correct take

[CubinNY]

Umps want to get this one done. 

[LBiittner]

Calib should pitch short relief next year.

So far so good, he looks good today he can also be used as trade bait

He looked nasty in Spring Training.  Too bad he got hurt.  He had bite on the curve then if I remember.

Good interview with Hendricks,  I wonder of he'll consider coaching and or managing

He would probably be an excellent pitching coach. Not surprised he did a great interview. A few year back I asked my ST holder rep who her favorite Cub was. She said not only is Kyle her favorite Cub on the current team, he is her all time favorite. And she has been a rep for 25 years. Said he was the most genuinely nice player/person she has ever met.

Caleb should go somewhere that can give him two months uninterrupted to see if he can get over the hump at the MLB level.  He wouldn't be the worst guy to stash in long relief, but I'd MUCH rather pencil Wesneski in for that role.

My guess is he's the 4th piece in a big trade or the 2nd piece in a small to medium trade.

I would be fine with him being a piece of a trade.

Possibly could end up doing either.

I suspect we'll have to wait til after 2025 while he pitches for the Brewers and torments the living horsefeathers out of Cub fans

Keegan Thompson taken out with an injury to his foot/leg.

He was also throwing 101 for multiple innings.

Can both teams be awarded a loss and the season be over?

[NorthsideAvenger]

I wish MLB would allow teams not in the playoffs to simply play the last game of the year like a Spring Training game: play 9 innings and get out of there regardless of the result.

How does that work for those who are gambling $ ?

[UMFan83]

Well it took 28 innings but the Reds finally scored in this series. Funny that the Cubs started the 10th by picking off the extra runner, only to give up 2 runs

[LBiittner]

Welp same record as last year yay

That's it screw this team I'm not watching them anymore this year!

[JHBulls]

Thank horsefeathers it’s all over!

 

Now I am off to do my best Jed Hoyer impression and stare at a brick wall until opening day.

Anyone who gambles on the Cubs deserves to lose money. 

 Chicago Cubs motto: “We literally never improve from year to year, but we will never be the White Sox. So come out to watch Chicago Cubs baseball, and give us your money.”

I care very little about people gambling on a game between two teams not in the playoffs. So screw them. 

With that said, for the first time in a long while, I will not miss baseball.
