What was said

JD never got to 10 Years service time - which is significant for pension calculation - probably why he's announcing.  I'm sure Boog has asked him at least 3 times about it.  "You don't have 10 years service time???"  He's a little salty on the subject.

I just glanced at Miz’s stats - dude has nine strikeouts after 4.0 innings. Kid is a machine. That would be cool to have a shutdown Ace. 🤔

Now, even Conforto stopped hitting.

He's not an everyday guy

Whatever comes from this game - good on you, Ben Brown! Great work

What an impressive horsefeathers outing by Brown.  Honestly, he's one of the only guys right now that gives me any enthusiasm about this team.  If he becomes a true ace, it changes a lot.

Yes, it does, and the cool thing about it is that nobody expected this.  Ben has been great.

Cubs pitching has been asss overall, which makes it suks even more when they put together a good game but still lose because the bats are assss

[chibears55]

Who would the Cubs get from the Pirates if they traded Happ to them ?

Parts of 12 years.  Not the same as service time.

[JHBulls]

Well, who needs the stress and anxiety of postseason baseball. Cubs are doing a public service. 

[chibears55]

Theyre really going to continue losing aren't they

The very well traveled Cash Considerations.

So deflating

Jim Deshaies played 12 major league seasons, which equates to roughly 12 full years of major league service time. He pitched for six teams from 1984 through 1995, logging an 84-95 win-loss record, 951 strikeouts, and a 4.14 ERA across 257 games.

They would offer to cover their travel costs there and back 

[Papa Cub]

Another loss incoming - this is abysmal 

[chibears55]

Let's see if these bats can show some urgency these last couple innings

[CubinNY]
