What does he have to work with? It doesn't matter who he puts out there, our bullpen is pathetic

I will always hold a special place in my heart for Joe,
But,
Maybe he needs to put some fire in their asses?
Instead of having campfire sing along bong sessions after every loss.
His way won a world ******* series with the Cubs.....But!!!!!!! How long will that strategy last? Other teams do catch up ya know.
Honestly, I don't really know. I'm just frustrated with this crap since August.
Top Gun is showing on Pop channel if anybody is planning on staying up past this crap.....direct Tv Ch 273

This team will get it together and be just fine.
Just have a nasty feeling we’re going to be hitting early October looking back at this first week and Maddon being let go because the FO has been a failure since the WS and will need a scapegoat.
None of this is on him.

After our World Series people would say now that you saw the Cubs win a WS, you won’t care about the Cubs as much and be so invested. I initially thought no way, but my interest level has dropped off severely since the WS.
It could be because we aren’t as good anymore, but I just don’t find myself watching 9 innings of every game that I could.

Agree. I’m just glad I got to see a World Series win. I hope the Cubbies still do well and make another run, but I find myself not getting upset as much as I use to.

I agree to a point, but this bullpen's results so far may drive me to a fish sandwich, or to post more in the Hoiberg threads, whichever is worse.
Just thinking, what’s the most successful move our FO has made since 2016?
Q for Eloy and Cease?
Yu?
I think it could very well be argued since the WS they’ve had a rather ****** success rate

When your bullpen is walking people like we are, not good can come from it. It's almost like these guys are trying too hard. I don't know what WTF Cishek was doing last night, but it was brutal to watch. Rosario...boy that was a good outing.....haven't seen much of Brach, but WOOF.
This kind of thing eventually wears on the clubhouse. Even bad bullpens don't blow multi-run leads in 3 out of 5 games.

Did anyone pick up on the fact that Heyward has grounded into 5 double plays already this year? WTF!?!?!?
