    I hope Chourio fuckin unloads one on Palencia Counsell is a stubborn little fella

    “You can’t out hit or field ****** pitching”
  3. Papa Cub
    As good as this team has been throughout the year, especially from their hitting and defensive aspects of the game, it is just so defeating to know that you just don’t have the pitching to get you over that hump. Personally, I do not think we will fare better than last year. They should make the playoffs, but I do not think they’ll secure home field first round. I don’t think the pitching can go toe to toe with either the Phillies, Braves, or the Dodgers. Anything can happen, but I just don’t see the woes going away in that department.

    That’s what I’m saying!! That was ridiculous
  5. Papa Cub
    Tonight’s name…….Daniel Palencia
  6. Papa Cub
    And again…….Put up a few runs, Boyd pitches well and then a lame arm comes in and gets rocked. I don’t see that improving over the next month or so. Bats and defense can only keep them in games for so long with lame ducks in the bullpen
  7. Papa Cub
    Boyd has pitched well, but this isn’t looking to good here (to say the least)
  8. Papa Cub
    Yeah, he broke out for one game last night and has been abysmal lately
  9. Papa Cub
    It’s funny when you ask, but it’s sad that many of us fans are asking it as a literal question. Can never trust this bullpen. No lead is safe
  10. Papa Cub
    Or Rolison to mess up a great game. He’s really crapped down his leg a lot lately
  11. Papa Cub
    That helps lol Holmes goes 5 or 6 (pushing it), so what’s the bullpen look like tonight?
  12. Papa Cub
    Holmes’ pitch count is what is concerning me
  13. Papa Cub
    That is exactly what I’m saying too - Cubs can go toe to toe with anyone as far as offense and defense, but their pitching is pure horsefeathers. Name one starter or reliever you would feel fully confident going against any one of those teams you just mentioned……maybe Holmes? That is it for me. Can’t throw him every horsefeathers game lol

    This team’s pitching will most likely not improve enough to secure the top wild card seed IMO. They have the bats and could hang with anyone. Season isn’t over, but personally, what I have witnessed from this pitching staff is not going to improve is my point. I truly believe they will have a very difficult time making the postseason. If they do, which statistically shows they will, they would travel to Philly, LA or Atlanta. Not good lol - 🤷‍♂️
  15. Papa Cub
    At this point, they need to be concerned about making the postseason at all. At first it was: - catch the brewers (well that ship sailed) - secure the Wild card top seed (whelp, that is going away as early as tonight or tomorrow) - make the postseason (we shall see with 26 games left and this fuckin pitching staff) so disgusted with this pitching staff
  16. Papa Cub
    That’s it for me - horsefeathers Shota
  17. Papa Cub
    And again…..he needs to just be done. Philly will pass them for the top wild card by tomorrow
  18. Papa Cub
    He’s due for one more tonight yet - we need 6 runs minimum to win I feel
  19. Papa Cub
    I would think so! Question though……four homers in 26 games is doable for sure, but what about steals? Can’t overlook those because it’s a lot to do with situations. Gonna be tough to do both, but he’s definitely in the driver’s seat
  20. Papa Cub
    Yes - 9.1
  21. Papa Cub
    I was literally saying the same to a buddy of mine - good job, Jed! That is a steal for six years
  22. Papa Cub
    I love optimism
  23. Papa Cub
    Let’s make is 8 more just to be safe……these jokesters you never feel safe
  24. Papa Cub
    He absolutely is - but this pitching staff is horrendously bad at times. Inconsistent may be an understatement 🤷‍♂️
