Hes still a ways away..

I think he'll likely get a couple outings in mid late September and then get shutdown, I have doubts theyll try and get him ready for a stressful postseason run.

IMO, just get him a couple non stressful relief appearances,  shut him down,  and let him go through a normal offseason and get ready for whenever ST starts.

Crazy, they add 2 new SP two weeks ago, get another off IL and they still cant get a set 5 man rotation despite having 7 SP on their current roster 😅

[Derwood]

Not exactly pounding the zone here early

[chibears55]

Never noticed til yesterday,  is this a new thing with announcing pca before his AB right before first pitch or was it normally done during commercial 

[Tryptamine]

Why does Benintendi suck against everyone but the Cubs?

[We Got The Whole 9]

Holmes missing by a mile outside about 10 times already 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Man that was a wild ricochet

[PeanutPunch33]

I love Clay Holmes.  Hope he gets extended

I missed it hitting him and just saw Pedro break the other way and was like wtf is he doing 😅

[Derwood]

Taylor is such a dork. I love her

[Tryptamine]

Holmes wasting a lot of pitches

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

This team cannot turn a DP to save their lives right now

[We Got The Whole 9]

We have to figure out a deal with Holmes after the season 

[Tryptamine]

With his limited pitch count, you're probably hoping for 5 at best out of Holmes today.

[Rex Buckingham]

Not the most efficient innings, but effective

[Geographyhater8888]

Holmes is a ground ball machine.

Not in 2026.

[Tryptamine]

Well that was a really bad at bat.

[Tryptamine]

That one was equally awful

[Derwood]

This ump sucks too, JFC

[chibears55]

PCA prefers night games 🙄

[chibears55]

Mound ball...

If they show it in bottom of 4th its off the mound,  top of 5th its on the mound. 

In case you wanna sneak a quick bet in with someone 😅

Shouldn't the cubs be hitting these guys pitching for Sox today ? 

I think they used up their best relievers the first 2 games 

[Tryptamine]

Guy who entered the game with a slightly above 8 ERA mowing down the Cubs like he's Pedro in his prime. The horsefeathers is this......

[BKHoo]

Did our hitters even try that inning?
