The only thing I hate is only getting someone like Brujan back for him, though I suppose at his age and MLB track record it would be hard to expect more. Happy he's doing well though. I haven't followed closely enough, is he getting every day ABs or are they shielding him from bad matchups?
Here’s how the Cubs relievers started their innings tonight before recording an out:
6th: Single, Walk, Single, Single
7th: Walk, Double, Walk, Single, Walk
8th: Walk, Homer, Homer, Single, Walk
You can say that about so many project pitchers Jed has thrust into middle and late inning roles the last 3 years. How hard is it to find guys who can throw strikes? When the pen blows up walks are usually involved
Yeah it's just shuffling the deck chairs. We've seen Palencia for 2 seasons. He's fine, occasionally gets the job done, occasionally extremely wild. The problem is the Cubs don't have enough good players in their bullpen or in the minors, especially with guys like Assad down.
I saw these power rankings on twitter and laughed that 26 of the Cubs first 29 games are from the 9 other teams on this list including 16 against the top 3 teams.
Fairly big earthquake just hit relatively close to San Diego (I've seen 5.7-6.0 in magnitude). Doesn't seem to be any major damage (though its early, just happened less than 30 mins ago) but I'm sure the Cubs felt it.
horsefeathers swinging at ball 4 on 3-0 count and fouling out. Not getting not run home might be brutal for us if Nico doesn’t come through.
edit: and he did!
