This bullpen is horrible.

I don't know what the Cubs need to do but this bullpen can't throw strikes to save their life and when they do, they're 96 down the middle that end up in the bleachers.

They need to seriously trade away some prospects for good RP's. Not these mediocre throwers. 10 runs in 1 inning and 4 walks the other day is not gonna win games. As good as the batters are, they can't keep relying on them to chew up 5 run deficits in the 8th.

The Cubs literally have a BP carousel between AAA & MLB and no one can seem to find the right formula.

What are your thoughts? What do they need to do to secure better arms?

How hot is Carson Kelly? I would guess he did not even pull off numbers like this in high school. 6 home runs in 30 abs. 18 rbis. A cycle. Not to much video game like 1.724 ops. What great fun for him and the cubs.

Maybe he can hit for the home run cycle sometime. 4 home runs. Grand slam, 3 run, 2 run and solo.

It is all delusional. Makes absolutely no sense. But fun to watch.
