Draft picks and trades are apples to ...hand grenades. It was a terrible fucking analogy. Just own up to it so we can move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a GM should be held accountable for moves they make, I didn’t argue that, you dolt. What they aren’t responsible for is performance, that’s always on the player. Kimbrel being dog shit after having one of the best seasons ever as an RP for the Cubs isn’t all on Rick Hahn. Sorry, I put that more on the player than the scout and GM. I’ll be here way longer than you, sweetheart. So buckle in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people went all in on defending Kimbrel and the deal. Its been really terrible but if we can get through tonight maybe he still can come up big.

Dizzy Sox Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Great job by Bummer tonight--real clutch pithing from a guy who couldn't buy a break the 1st half of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May need Hendriks for 2 + tomorrow, would really be great if the Sox score here and Kimbrel can close it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, which is why it was a gamble I didn’t like taking in this do or die game..but it worked. Just need 3 more now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbrel wasnt that great the 2 years prior, it wasn't a stretch that hed regress and underperform moving away from a no pressure terrible Cubs team. Hahn fucked up bad and way overpaid.

Hahn fucked up bad and way overpaid. I don't blame them for wanting Kimbrel. Very few people could see him regressing this badly. I do blame them for overpaying by that much. At some point you just gotta move on to another option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game is showcasing the importance of guys like Tepera and Bummer if properly utilized...as well as that glue guy like Jimmy Cordero who can be used in almost any situation. Also, no idea what to expect out of Kopech as a starter next season. Just have to cross our fingers, and add at least one more veteran starter as insurance because we won't have the health we did this year with our rotation.
