Honestly, at this point, I really don't care.  Bull pen can't hold a lead of less than 4 runs, it's pretty hopeless.

I want them to make the playoffs just so pca's mvp season isn't always associated with something bad

You'd think, by the law of averages, someone could be effective for say, a week.  Don't that's possible.

Is every member of the bullpen allergic to clean innings/games?

I'm confident Cubs will make the playoffs. I'm also confident this board will have as many playoff wins as the Cubs.

People in the future are going to look at this team and wonder how the hell they had a 10+ fWAR PCA and barely snuck into the playoffs.

Everyone horsefeathers one of them are terrible, even the worst of teams have one effective guy.  If they or someone could manage one effective week the playoffs are done deal.

I feel this right now too…….😑 I don’t say “wasted season”, but I understand this guy’s frustration.

I know the bullpen is for horsefeathers but, I put this one on Craig.  After the lead off walk he should have pulled Boyd.  Zeferjahn may have not executed however, him facing, Ortiz, a crappy replacement level player is the right match up.  Most especially after Ortiz out together a good at bat vs. Boyd earlier.

Ortiz would have been pinch hit for a LH bat and Zeferjahn isn't good against lefties. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
