Yes, any knowledable fan can see that the Cubs pitchers are really great ... just struggling. Only giving up 12 runs in 5 innings really pretty good, considering their youth and tender psyches....
Who were you posting as yesterday?

Pirates have scored in 5 of the first 6 and 4 of those innings has been crooked numbers. So does anyone believe this team will turn it around soon. 4-14 now in the last 18 road games and these games are getting out of hand in the first few innings

Now don’t be mad buddy... the cubs are making me look like a genius and Nostradamus with their shitty play. I called a 3-6 road trip and they are off to a resounding 1-3

Trust me, nobody is making you look like a genius

To be honest I personally think that he gets rattled easy. I wouldn't doubt that Joe called him into his office pre game and told him he is getting demoted post game to promote Hondo for Tue and it got in his head.

“Lately”?
As in “a trend”?

Young pitcher in second start got roughed up. No meed to give up on him.

Dodgers fan here. Looks like we have the exact opposite situation lol

Yesterday it was Maples. He has no business in the majors and they keep on beating themselves up promoting him.

I was hoping that Alzolay would be good enough to stick around. But even before today he seems to get out of rhythm if something goes wrong. With the walk fest the last game. game before he gave up a HR and came unraveled. Today he just got pounded.

So uneducated guess. He is young.

I'm not. Getting his butt spanked is a good life lesson.
