Everyone else has a never ending wellspring of 21 yo fireballers.

This can’t be that hard.

I don’t care how young or hard they throw. Can we just find 1 guy who isn’t gonna throw a bp HR?

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I forgot Cabrera is incapable of holding runners

Why have 21 year old fireballers when you can sign a bunch of lightly regarded junk ballers and hope that your amazing pitch academy can turn a couple into average relief pitchers?

and those 21 year olds are free, and the cubs would obv prefer to give phil maton $14 mil. 

[abuck1220]

that wasn’t even remotely close, how do you miss that 

[abuck1220]

nice 0-2 pitch dipshit 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Nuke LaLoosh over here 

[UMFan83]

3 home runs allowed today. We have to be getting close to some sort of record

talking myself into thinking @ atl for the WC isn’t THAT much worse than SD or philly. 

Honestly with this bullpen,  I dont think it matters much who they play, it could be the Rockies and itll be a struggle if the bats dont score a whole bunch of runs

[Papa Cub]

Hahaha

[mk49]

That sucks.

[Geographyhater8888]

What a relief. I would’ve been really pissed off if we had a lead there.

Nope

[chibears55]

Every pitcher but Palencia gave up a 2 run homer tonight 🙄🙄

[ILMindState]

There we go, now Cabrera fits right into the bullpen. 

[abuck1220]

jed horsefeathers knocked that trade out of the park

[Soul]

The “pitch academy”

Ohhh I see.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I just want an ounce of accountability

That trade is pretty much dead even

[UMFan83]

That’s very similar to a lot of Cabreras outings this year where he looks really sharp the first couple innings and then suddenly starts giving up hard contact 

[Derwood]

Missed most of the game. I see that the bullpen of doom has reassembled

[Irrelevant Dude]

The Cubs are going to finish the season without a single starting pitcher recording an out past the 6th inning (which is an insane stat that I still can't believe) and one of the worst bullpens in recent memory.  This pitching staff was bad before the trade deadline, got better, but is still bad.

Maybe, but there were a million other players you could have gotten for Caissie

[Wilson A2000]

Man, that final 95 mph changeup by Cabrera to Acuna was one of the nastiest pitches I have ever seen. Unfortunately, it was after the two-run homer.

Unless Cristian Hernandez has an unexpected breakout in him, it doesn't look like anyone has won that trade.
