IST: Cubs vs Cards

[greg23]

This guy is borderline unusable

Not sure what they saw or continue to see in him as his whip is 1.5 and he's given up 6 now 7 hr in 19 inn

He was a guy I could care if he came back this year or not...and he returned just in time to blow another game

 

[SilentLurker]

Is Kinzler hurt? he could have been used last night instead of norwood and tonight.

 

[SilentLurker]

Cishek in now. Hope he doesn't walk the bases loaded.

 

[Fred Garvin]

Games like these are the very reason they got Kimbrel. Overall...he has been a massive disappointment...but if you paid attention to his work in Boston...this isn't a surprise. He has been super shaky all season long. This bullpen has killed us all year.

 

[SilentLurker]

Glad the next 3 games are day games. Will be at work tomorrow and doing something else than watching tv on a weekend afternoon. Will be a nice break from watching these guys.

 

[Fred Garvin]

I wish we would have just gone 1, 2, 3 in the 9th. They had to dig the knife in deeper just to piss us off and disappoint us even more.

 

[SilenceS]

Of course, Nick just misses it. Kimbrel throws a thigh high meatball to Carpenter.

 

[SilentLurker]

and dats dat. and there's nuttin we could do about it

 

[Fred Garvin]

So...the acquisition of Kimbrel culminates in his blowing the most important game of the year. The Kimbrel pickup looks like a MASSIVE bust...and this was the dagger that killed any division hopes. Thanks Kimbrel with your goofy stance and choke ass.

Cubs collapsing in September again ???

 

[SilentLurker]

I'll just make the night complete and listen to sports radio and all the angry cub fans calling in.

Look at Kimbrel's numbers in save situations and non save situations. Not good. Didn't like him in that spot.

Oh well. We will see you next year.

 

[zack54attack]

Schwarber's AB in the 9th was brutal. Dude swung at ball 4 twice. Martinez wasn't close to being decent either.

 

[Fred Garvin]

Typical Maddon deflecting on talking about everything BUT the season being over. Focusing on Rizzo coming back to play...and injuries...blahblahblah. Everything BUT the soul crushing choke by Kimbrel. Yeah...it'll just go away if you don't address it. Like your restaurant and your job.

some caller just called in to say strop is having a better season than kimbrel. damn that's how bad kimbrel is.

 

[Fred Garvin]

If anything...other than blowing 27 games...exposes this dumpster fire bullpen more...it's the 4-9 record in extra innings. Can't even win these extra inning games at home...where you have the distinct advantage. What a damn tragedy. Oh well. Move on to 2020.

What station? I'm listening to the Score and they haven't taken any callers.

 

[Mr. Jones]

Kimbrell the 43 million dollar POS bust smh..

 

[Fred Garvin]

Kimbrel had a 5.68 era BEFORE tonight....so I'm sure it's higher than that. Terrible acquisition. We'll look back at tonight's choke job as the dagger that killed the season.
