I know Elder has sucked this year, but this wasn't the case of a guy just hanging breaking balls or throwing meatball fastballs all game and the Cubs sucking. He had great command and threw very few hittable pitches. It happens.
Todd Wellemeyer is a good pull. I always remember his debut in this crazy 17 inning game in 2003: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MIL/MIL200305150.shtml
Also, the Farns with 3 innings in that game, damn.
