for every nolan ryan and randy johnson you remember, you forget about the guys who had arm problems/"dead arm" who never stuck around for long.
pitcher injuries have always been around.
We all know that the Cubs have had their misses with high profile free agent relievers over the years but Phil Maton is a cut above. I can’t recall him having a quality appearance this season.
it really is mind-blowing how every facet of this team fell off a cliff wile e. coyote style since may 9th.
curious to compare this 31+ day span to other lengthy futility stretches by this ballclub.
