And about the 35th time I am asking this question this year, where the hell does Jed Hoyer find these pitchers?

You’ll be pleased to know the Cubs aren’t working today either.

Yeah, Woodford sucks.  Way too many hard hits.

[chibears55]

Hoyers castoffs aren't working out too well

🙄🙄🙄

[Geographyhater8888]

Uncompetitive, trash game.

He has his scouts watching and waiting for other teams to DFA pitchers and prays they can be good for a couple games with them

Exactly.

 I think Jed is starting to realise that scouting pitchers on MLB The Show doesn’t work in real life. 

[Soul]

Took awhile but they finally tanked out.

[chibears55]

Youd think it was the Cubs stuck at an airport all day today and not the Redsox the way they're hitting today 😅

[JHBulls]

JD is a national treasure lol. “The future of America is in great hands”.

The problem with Jed is, sometimes it feels like he doesn't take putting a competent bullpen and depth together in the offseason seriously. 

[JHBulls]

Good choice to leave Woodford in, CC. Why burn another arm when the hitters couldn’t even hit a beach ball.  

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

All it takes is two games and I feel like they'll never score again 

[chibears55]

So, who exactly are the bullpen guys once everyone healthy in August?

Palencia,  Maton, Steele,  Milner, Riley Martin, Webb, Thornton,  Rollison, Pomeranz,  Thielbar,  Rea/Assad 

 

[Derwood]

Maybe the worst offensive performance of the season

A good question, and good pitchers there.  I mean a lot better than what we got now.

I would pick Palencia, Maton (just because of the contract), Martin, Webb, Rolison, Milner, Rea and Thielbar.  Assad can be a SP with Chicago or Iowa.  I like Thornton, though.  But, eventually, one or two of those guys will get hurt.

[Soul]

Yeah it felt like they just kind of sleepwalked their way to a goose egg.

[UMFan83]

I feel bad, my wife took my kids to Cincinnati for a soccer camp this week and they were looking forward to going to this game all week.  At least they got fireworks afterwards since the Cubs didn't supply any.

[Geographyhater8888]

The second half schedule is brutal.
