As much as the Cubs and their ownership get crap for being cheap and never truly “going for it”, their front office identified their extreme need for starting pitching due to injuries and lack of performance better than Getz did and they acquired four starters prior to the deadline. Peterson Civale (being used in bullpen but was starting for A’s) Gausman Holmes Getz needed two starters at a minimum and only acquired one. They didn’t really need a CF that swings a wet newspaper.

Exactly.

I don’t know if people are predicting a collapse but it’s obvious they don’t have enough pitching. That doesn’t mean they still can’t limp into the postseason somehow.

And?

Yep. Peters’ throw was laughable.

Letting the NL MVP make you look like a clown for your decision changes things.

Good, but a few innings doesn’t change the fact that Adams and one of Hays/Pereira on this team would be better than Doyle right now, before the trade was made and now.

I’ve seen enough. Fuggem.

That’s a play.

Stone, did you forget that Venable elected to pitch to PCA last night?

Almost forgot about this game. Had to order my son left and right DonJoy knee braces for college football. A cool $1300 shipped after tax.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Jerry asked Ozzie to mention him after that awful Ring of Honor ceremony when Bulls fans openly booed Krause with his widow crying.

Steven Hunter too.

You forgot Quentin Richardson. I attended when they had him and Bobby Simmons but did nothing.

Terry Cummings and Rod Strickland.

That wouldn’t be the full swap though. You would also likely have Adams up on this team that desperately needs pitching.

Who the hell else would be willing to do DePaul basketball games? And that’s coming from a DePaul grad. 🤣

The Cubs just have to wait until Venable stupidly chooses to pitch to MVPCA again and it’s game ova.

Nah, let’s stick with the conspiracy theory cuz it’s the Cubs. 🤣

This trade was a stinker. It’s very hard to believe that the Sox are a better team right now with Doyle on the team as opposed to Adams and one of Hays/Pereira.

Seriously. It’s 1.5 innings. Play on and delay it when the rain arrives.

We got rid of two guys who could play RF for a part-time CF.

One more biscuit for breakfast, Braden.

When you have to fall over during your swing, perhaps it’s not a good pitch to swing at.

How soon would Mason Adams have been on this pitching staff in some form or fashion if he wasn’t traded?
