He had a good spring training and has only pitched 10 innings this season and you are done with him? With a short leash like that you must be ready to send Schwarber to the Beer League

Spring training? LOL, you must be big on pre season NFL games, too. I have zero tolerance for pitchers who can't throw strikes...this goof has now walked 12 guys in 15 innings. You and I are capable of doing that and they sure as hell aren't paying us $12 million to do it.

Don't think you are wrong with your frustration but I'd point out that he has a 10.20 k/9 and walks have always been an issue with him(4.19 bb/9 on his career). If you got that sort of k rate with a sub 3 walk rate you're paying Darvish money for him. Clearly he need to get better with his walk rate. All I'm saying is there's positives for him too. If he gets it down to around his 4 per 9 with that K rate he's going to be a fantastic #5.

So I'm legit curious if when the weather starts to warm if those long fly balls Heyward is hitting start becoming HRs. Seems like he's hit a bunch that are like 20 feet short.

Happ is worthless right now.

Why in hell doesn’t Almora get to play the majority of the games?

The Cubs offense needs the CF with the higher floor.
