Cubs (Boyd) vs Diamondbacks (Rodriguez, E.): 3/30/25, 3:10pm

[Derwood]

Hodge is the only person in the pen with an ERA under 5.40

[DrCub]

You could let a monkey throw crap at the wall to pick a bullpen and it would be better than this shitshow that Jed has put together. 

[chibears55]

Theilbar sucks and noone gonna tell me different,  and  can't wait til they get rid of some of these guys in the pen and bring up the AAA guys.

[Eeyore]

They're going to need two guys on a plane from Iowa to Sacramento

This could be the worst cubs bullpen of all time!

I don’t think even 2006 was this bad. 

That’s a little much, it’s the 6th game. These guys suck right now but we always seem to figure it out somewhat. The problem is that it takes 2+ months to get there and we dig ourselves into a hole that we can’t get out of

[Bobson Dugnutt]

wow I can’t believe loading up on scrap heap middle relievers and 43 year old closers failed again

[CubinNY]

Tucker is money!

You have to have absolutely elite secondaries to get away with a 92 mph fastball. 

 

[Crusader]

So glad Eli Morgan is throwing batting practice while we have Thompson at Triple A. There's no excuse for our bullpen being dogshit. We have depth for once.

[Tryptamine]

Jed had better have one quick horsefeathers trigger with this BP or it's going to be 2024 all over again.

[UMFan83]

It’s too bad we spent all the way up to the luxury tax and couldn’t improve the pen more. But then again how could we know the pen was gonna be an issue right? Not like every single season has this issue

[SOFNR]

What a joke.

[chibears55]

Lmao, where the guy that said this was a good pen the other day when I said most will be gone by June

[cl smooth]

Why is this mf still in the game?

[Eeyore]

Maybe they have a strategy of saving innings by not needing to use pitchers in the ninth inning?

[Derwood]

Hodge: 0.00
Pearson: 13.50
Thielbar: 6.75
Pressly: 9.00
Brown: 6.75
Keller: 9.00
Brasier: 9.00
Morgan: 8.10 (so far)

Thompson is not the solution lol.

This series has been illustrative of the team as a whole. Tucker is so good he must be signed longterm and he might carry us to a decent record 

but not if the bullpen can’t hold a single lead without looking like a bunch of A ballers (no offense to Ethan Hearn)

[Derwood]

Morgan: 9.82 (so far)

[Tryptamine]

Cubs BP, so far this season, 22.1IP, 18 ER. 

[UMFan83]

Our pen can’t even get a horsefeathers pitcher out 3 years after the DH was implemented

[SpongeWorthy]

morgan has given up almost half of the earned runs as he gave up all last season
