Thorpe is a back-end, seemingly easily replaceable starting pitcher. Again, crazy they let such a low ceiling guy headline that deal.

Get the feeling Stoney retires https://x.com/stevestone/status/1821604217079132255

Yeah I don’t see it. They’re farther away from being a .500 team than they have in a long time. There are very few, if any, players that you can clearly state will be a starting player for this team come 2028.

Pretty clearly gonna be Skip

That will happen after the season

Reminds me of letting KW and Hahn handle last year’s deadline

Haha Pedro didn’t even thank Getz

Good thing they let him influence the Vargas trade

ESPN 1000 saying it’s cause they didn’t want new manager having to answer questions about the streak

I’d take him in the bullpen over these losers

Not a fan of this, it feels like he didn’t get enough of an opportunity here.

His swing also sucks now. He’s not getting his hands back enough and is just jabbing at the ball.

Agreed, it’s why I wanted Cags

Also, how did our terrible scouts ever think Fletcher could be an everyday starter?

Hopefully we never see Pedro again. I’m optimistic he’s fired tomorrow

He tried hard once this series. What more do you want from him?

Outside of Quero and Baldwin, this has been just a god awful year for offensive development in the majors and minors.

I feel they’re going way too safe with their offensive acquisitions, which is what we saw them do last year and the results have been predictable. Need to find some guys with big upside, and also can’t be afraid of these players just cause they busted during the last rebuild.

I’m fine playing it safe with his pitch count

But he was on prospect lists a decade ago

He’s too busy destroying the organization, if you’re to believe Hawk

Funny thing is I agree with you, I just don’t know what he’s supposed to say. And by no means am I defending him, he needs to be one and done.

Vargas better learn how to hit high fastballs.

ESPN1000 did…I was talking about the Score. Then this whole thing snowballed and everyone looks stupid. These guys were complaining about some of Schriffen’s catchphrases early on, but you would have never heard that with the golden boy

Once they pushed their boy Jason out and didn’t take McKnight, poor Schriffen had no shot with Chicago sports radio. He did himself no favors though.
