@Cubs And this is exactly why Edward Cabrera should have been in the bullpen when he got back. We’ve got Assad and Peterson who have been great but we decide to pitch a guy who has a 6.72 ERA if you take out his first two games and has 0 control on his pitches. Retarded

@SetupManKyle Low leverage guy (that will eventually be sent down) let them back in it. Zefer gave up a homer to the best player in the world. They just swept the dodgers. Reinforcements from IL are coming. Lighten up jeez
@CarlsBeef@MonMornMahoney In my opinion, at this point PCA and Seiya are the only 2 players that have played up to or above their standard offensively. (Exclude Pedro). Of the remaining guys, who is most likely to hit a surge and step up offensively for the remainder of the season?
@CarlsBeef@MonMornMahoney On paper Braxton Garrett doesn’t look good. Could you do one of your pitcher profiles on him and try to provide some insight on why we traded for him?
@collxn@CarlsBeef 2.95 xERA (89th percentile)
.161 xBA (100th percentile)
33.6% strikeout rate (97th percentile)
34.6 whiff percentage (96th percentile)
However has a 13.9% walk rate (4th percentile) and 24.3% chase % (2nd percentile)
Hard throwing swing and miss guy but walks a lot of guys
@Cubs We do need pitching help but a new starting pitcher won’t change the fact that PCA and Seiya are the only 2 guys on the team who have played up to their standard on offense. Everybody else has been a disappointment offensively and that was on full display today
Can someone provide any sort of possible explanation on why Taillon is in the rotation instead of Assad. It absolutely baffles me. We need to trade for a SP ASAP not just for help but so I don’t have to watch Taillon anymore
