The season is over...these games mean nothing so that's not gonna happen now. I think I read that the Cubs have lost 25 games via their bullpen. Imagine if they had won just 8 of those games... they'd still be in the hunt. Like the old adage says, you can't win playoff spot early but you surely can lose one. Great job, Jed.
I read if they had the best save percentage it would mean 8 more. Significant. But half that would not be enough.

Get an actual star.

The season is not quite over.

The goal now is to finish ahead of the Cards. And I would love for them to be under.500 but they have a series with Colorado left.

I guess if Atlanta loses out and the Cubs win out I guess the wild card is still possible?

It's kind of weird watching them play their hearts out because they are not mathematically eliminated, and trying to care about Ws and Ls when what I'd rather see is them flood the roster with all the minor league talent they could get a closer look at before next year (and shut down anyone who needs a jump start on recovering from a nagging injury).

Jed giving Kyle another start just shows how much of a knob slobberer Jed is.

For **** sake just remove that wart from the organization.

Jed’s not the manager.

I guess they should have started someone else today? 😂

The manager has little input in those decisions.

Shota not starting was upper level. It was based off of total innings.

Kyle was a decision based off of fan appeal. Shota was on regular rest and Steele could have pitched todays game.

Water under the bridge. Both games were pitched well. The line up was team B and did not support the pitching.

Thank god it is over. 8th year of of a down hill slide.

Now you can go back to sucking Jed off and thinking that he has it in the bag.

They are closer to becoming the White Sucks north vs a ring winner at this rate

Hendricks is not coming back so it was the right move to give him the mound one last time. I could see him ending up as a coach in the minors and working his way up to the majors eventually.

I’ve never done any such thing but you be you. The way you flip flop I expect you will be sucking him off soon.
