chibear - talk about how bad our pitching is 

Bullpen needs to get their shittt together here

[PeanutPunch33]

I recognize they are shorthanded but this bullpen is atrocious

Yeah, and his fWAR is now 5.8.  wOBA (wRC+) is 6th best in baseball.

That’s double the war of the Cubs pitching staff,

We need Wiggins in the bullpen badly. The lack of whiff is alarming 

[Irrelevant Dude]

I know I should get over it, but it is insane that PCA is not starting the All-Star game.

[UMFan83]

In addition to the 5 HRs we’ve hit today, there are 2 more hit by the Cubs that would have been HRs at Wrigley and nowhere else, Bergman’s fly ball in the 1st and Conforto’s fly ball that was an error last inning

[chibears55]

All the pitchers on IL, are most to all expected back in August?

Taillon probably after the break...

Steele, Brown, Cabrera, Palencia,  Milner, and *ahem Maton

He'll probably end up playing most of it

[Dfan25]

Hold everything as Jesse Rogers likes to say . 

[Derwood]

Thielbar is no longer in the circle of trust

[UMFan83]

Pen is going to make every damn game interesting

[chibears55]

Bullpen gonna blow this one aren't they

[Papa Cub]

Thielbar is an automatic 1-2 runs given up each time he steps on the bump. I just accept it. Probably one more coming 

[PeanutPunch33]

This is getting sketch

[We Got The Whole 9]

Thielbar has been a hard contact merchant this year 

[Papa Cub]

Get him the F out 

[profisme]

I do not like seeing the D’Onofrio skin suit out there on the mound.

Counsell is just going with seniority . They really don’t have much options  with Rolison pitching in 3 of 4 . . Good news is Phil Maton is returning soon !

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

This bullpen is something else

[UMFan83]

We’ve had plenty of big leads lately to allow the pen to get some work in and get into a rhythm but they just all suck lol

[chibears55]

Do they just not have anyone in Iowa that better than these guys and capable of getting 3 outs 

[Dfan25]

IDK . I wouldn’t mind giving Kelly chance . He is doing interesting stuff at Iowa since the Cubs picked him up from LA 

[PeanutPunch33]

I remember a game last season when the Orioles came to Wrigley, and Thielscrub gave up a game changing HR to Henderson.  He should consider retiring

Out of curiosity, would all five actual HRs have gone out at wrigley?
