Who's the manager May 1st?
Maybe a better question would be, Who’s going to be the new pitching coach April 15?
Three pitching coaches in three years I'm sure hasn't helped. Darvish, Chatwood, and Edwards being bad shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Who knows what Hamels will provide this season. Hendricks you would expect to be solid. Lester you hope can keep pitching well but has a lot of mileage on his arm. Quintana was a horrible trade. Epstein gave up more for him than the Red Sox gave up for Sale and a year and a half in he is your fifth starter coming out of Spring training. Montgomery being so bad is a head-scratcher. They really aren't developing pitching or position players through their system. The signs have been there.Exactly. I’ve never seen a healthy pitching staff full of veterans completely collapse like this.
The pitchers on the Cubs not named Jon Lester have combined for a 9.13 ERA.
Nice to get a win but come on, another six runs given up by relievers in three innings. This isn't sustainable.

This offense is doing some things, my word
