Dodgers (May) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 4/22/25, 6:40pm

[Derwood]

Alright, add me to the "Workman sucks at everything" bandwagon

[abuck1220]

it is embarrassing that workman is on this team 

[Jason Ross]

C'mon, Gage. 

[Wilson A2000]

Time to stop playing Workman. The great Craig Counsell the bullpen whisperer had to see that Keller didn’t have it. Waiting way too long after an off day to pull him.

[Cubs206]

Workman needs to be DFA. Otherwise it’s a country club where failure is ok 

Dopey Jed strikes again 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Tough play on the grounder. Looked like it nipped the bag and flattened.

[Dfan25]

Yeah , I think the Workman experiment at 3B should be over . He looks terrified every time a ball is hit towards him . 

[UMFan83]

The holes on this Cub team are being exposed again. If only we had enough money for a better 3B and bullpen

[Cubs206]

Craig didn’t fully make the roster but…His bullpen (mis) management, like last year has got to account for some of the losses 

[chibears55]

Cubs have to be the only team that can consistently score 5+ runs and it still not enough with this bullpen. 

[Derwood]

Another game where our pen throws batting practice

[abuck1220]

has there been a worse/more damaging  player in mlb than workman? three errors (all of which immediately led to runs), plus the “double” he biffed the other day in extras that lost them the game. he also has one hit vs a non-position player. 

[SpongeWorthy]

i hate the horsefeathers dodgers man 

[Dfan25]

Too many guys left on base tonight to survive against this team . Oh well 

[chibears55]

Teams are like just keep them under 10 we'll catch up against their bullpen 

[UMFan83]

Is the new stat I get to track this year “games where the Cubs have the lead and the pen gives up 5+ runs without recording an out”?

[Derwood]

By contrast, the Dodgers will throw out three former closers in a row to mow us down for the easy victory

And they’ll be right more frequently than they should be. 

meanwhile Jed still picking up marginal guys to try to find lightning in a bottle (I know he doesn’t have a ton of options at this point, but that’s what the offseason was for)

Head first slide probably gets in there.

yeah this annoys me too, also that ball that happ let drop in no man's land when we blew that game agains the padres last week

also amaya is just stabbing at the ball had a really bad frame on the first batter roberts faced

don't get me wrong the bullpen should still be shot into the sun

As bad as he’s been at 3B, he looks just as lost at the plate

[chibears55]

Let see if the bats can respond again

It’s almost like he’s a Double A player the Cubs are trying to hold onto for…reasons and are forced to play because the Cubs couldn’t adequately address the 3B position in the offseason partially due to a massive payroll cut. 

either work out a trade with Detroit or send him back over there

Ump immediately gives them pitches out of the zone

[ILMindState]

I’d rather bring back Nick Madrigal than see Workman play another inning at 3b

[Illiterate Scholar]

Would have been nice to have that zone for Mookie
