Cubs relievers had a 3.46 ERA coming into today oh come on. brothers posted an era of 0.00 in his outing saturday wherein he went walk, walk, hbp, k and pretty much lost the game.
I would love to hear an explanation as to how the cubs arrived at the organizational philosophy of building a pitching staff full of good control/no velocity starters and no control/good velocity relievers because it is almost impressive how it has absolutely not worked at all.
if the cubs bullpen of recent years has taught me anything, it’s that you really can never have too many relievers that have no horsefeathering idea where the plate is
“hey maybe this will be the season this guy with good stuff finally throws strikes” is what has been said about approximately 1/2 of all cub relievers since 2018.
sorry you lack the galaxy brain that gives you the capability to understand that it's actually GOOD when your pitchers throw 86 and can't strike anybody out.
ah moving on from the "never having any baserunners at all" type of terrible offense to "having a bunch of baserunners and never being able to drive them in" type of terrible offense.
how pissed would you be if you were a vaccinated player and some knucklehead staff member was preventing you from getting to do all the stuff the 85% threshold allows you to do?
