I mean this is brutal obv, but the cubs are trying to hold on to a must win game with cuas/assad/smyly. that kind of horsefeathers was going nowhere fast in the postseason.
not even mad at cuas, assad, smyly or even ross. this game just shows you what a failure hoyer was at the deadline. they simply have no bullpen right now.
as negative as I am, I can’t really get too mad at steele. he’s carried this team all season and had to throw a ton of innings because a bunch of big money veterans like taillon and smyly were completely bums.
