I'm always down to FJM, but it ain't happening. Though I am pretty confident he won't be with the Cubs after his contract is up next year.
-
Plus that Mills guy seems pretty good. Is he? I've mostly just been assuming that the bullpen is made up largely of a pile of department store mannequins that fell off of a truck.
-
Also: Hamels' advanced stats from his September starts are a tad...disconcerting. -
Damn, Ray s-s-s-suuuuuuuuuuucks against righties.

That seems like a bit of an overreaction. I know nearly all of the innings came against the Reds and we really shouldn't be planning on Jorge de la Rosa shutting people down in the playoffs, but the Cubs bullpen hasn't even given up a run since Strop went down, in 8.2 IP. And I'm not sure if I'm ready to completely write Carl off just yet. He's had instances in the past of completely losing it and then reversing course and finding his groove again. And he has a 2.72 FIP and 2.39 ERA this year. Also, Justin Wilson has a 2.85 ERA this year. And Mike Montgomery will be added to the playoff bullpen, as well. It's not what we hoped to see, for sure. And our bullpen is definitely now one of our weaknesses. But it's not quite "Our starter has to pitch 8 innings" bad. I don't think anyone is completely writing off Carl; he's just unpredictable enough where he's a guy you have either think twice about using in a critical spot, or you have to have a really quick hook on him, and Joe doesn't seem to agree with either notions. I think pretty much everyone, however, would still agree he's a really valuable reliever.

Duke saving the season:

Alright, time for some sound, sound sleep.

horsefeathers, that's terrible.

Do the Cubs have 18 playoff dongs in them? Don't we have the most playoff dongs in baseball the last 3 years? PRE-CHILI.

Murphy's pony trot-run is so lame.
-
Rizzo getting robbed.
-
Reds win!
-
And just struck out Santana. ONE MORE.
-
But then he at least struck out Yelich.
-
Super Cobs: engaged.

This needs to blow up the internet.
-
In this AB lies madness.

I think hobbling Murphy is still faster than Almora. This goober for the Diamondbacks is basically THE argument for a pitch clock.

Honestly forgot about Chavez, so that was a good call, but De La Rosa is just one of those "throw something at the wall and see if it sicks" moves. And, hey, he has for now. But between Carl being Carl and Morrow's health, I would have preferred a move for a better bullpen piece on top of those. Of course, they did that last year and they got cursed with 2017 Justin Wilson, so who the horsefeathers even knows.
-
The signing itself was fine, IMO, but they REALLY dropped the ball by acting like they only needed to prop up the bullpen in-season with the likes of horsefeathering Kintzler.

That lineup SHOULD score about 94,000 runs.
