not even exaggerating...was there a team in MLB with a worse deadline than the cubs?

 

castro hitting .147

kittredge single-handedly lost them that one game, but has otherwise been fine i guess

rogers has barely pitched but has been fine

soroka broke after two innings

 

and that's just the guys they got. not even factoring in moves they didn't make. just a complete and total F-. 

 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Are they trying to draw walks or hit the ball? What the hell are you doing Busch?

He should run his happy ass hard to first if he doesn't want to be booed.  And any player worth his salt isn't going to be mad about the booing in a situation like that because he knows he deserves it.  If you think that guy's feelings are so fragile that a little booing is going to chase him away if the Cubs offer the best deal you don't understand how athlete's brains work.

Well said!! Thank you - the other guy commenting about his fragility and how that may deter him has no idea that it’s part of it - when I do a poor job at work my boss sure as hell tells me about it

team playing like a bunch of dead dogs

Kittridge also destroyed Horton’s scoreless streak. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Little throwing 91-92?

Irrelevant given the batting slump that is in progress.  

[Cubbies1996]

Cubs are going to get swept. Just 0 life to them

[UMFan83]

Runs scored by the Cubs at Wrigley in recent games:

0 (through 5), 4, 3, 2, 6, 1, 2, 5, 3, 1, 4, 6, 4, 1, 6, 4

2.7 runs per game over the last 16 home games

 

For comparison, they averaged 4.9 runs per game over their 16 home games prior to that.

They scored 9 runs off of pirates scrub right handed pitchers so naturally they’re getting 1 hit by Peralta.

Funny - are you his mother coddling him? Sorry his feeling were hurt, “guy” also, fans pay salaries 

[ILMindState]

Little will be a dominant closer for the Brewers when he is eventually DFA'd by the Cubs

So you’re saying we should be happy Jed didn’t acquire even more crappy players?

Would have been worse to give up Horton or Shaw or Ballesteros for Alcantara and him get blown up also.

[BigSlick]

hmm.... 8 straight balls is probably not ideal i have to say

[We Got The Whole 9]

I knew his velo was down but holy horsefeathers. What does he offer as 91 and still cant throw strikes?

Fans ultimately pay their salaries there, “guy”

You're definitely not his mother so just stop talking and let the grownups talk

[JHBulls]

This team is hard work. 

[profisme]

Wtf is this imp watching?

[Hot Sauce]

Personally not a fan of booing our players for any reason. Save that nonsense for blowhards like Cardinals fans. 

[Derwood]

This ump sucks ass (again)

[UMFan83]

Sweet a pitch clock violation when he was already going to throw a ball anyways

[profisme]

Jesus Christ Little.
