Given the steep price paid by The Cub, will Q in his first full season become one of their top pitchers or will he continue to underachieve in many people's eyes by being just good enough to lose?

The answer starts today against the lowly Marlins. He needs to go at least 6 if not 7 and post a victory.

Let go Q. Kick some ass!

Great outing today!

He's lost some velocity over the last year. Whatever you thought he was before the trade he's worse now.

Started out great - then imploded.

Season tally: 0-1.

Everything White Sox is great. Everything Cubs is bad.

SOP for ‘hard luck’ Jose.

Although it seemingly is a given Eloy Jimenez will be a star, he is hurt again with a strained pectoral. This after recovering from a knee issue in spring training that limited his AB's to only 7. Perhaps this is a harbinger to the rest of his career??

You are too sensitive.

Poor bastard just can't any run support

That's another one.

Marty you are just the most optimistic Sox fan I've ever encountered.

Are you caller Marty?

That's not saying much.

You know everything is great during the building phase. It's one of the reasons I despise tanking/rebuilding, management is off the hook.

No, I do get a kick out of how he twists that knife to the Cubs infatuated media though.

Me too and I’m a Cub fan.

This offense is still feast or famine. He's a really good pitcher that doesn't deserve this bullshit.

Yep. Its the offense's fault Quintana gave up a run scoring hit to a guy who was 0-11 with 8 Ks on the season

It didnt help recover from that.

Sox fans in mid-season form taking over Cub threads. Good to see. Stay focused.

He could have let up a home run to my dead grandmother but it wouldn't have mattered if the offense doesn't score.

Exactly. Great effort by Q today. No run support. He's right in line for the 2018 Cy Young. All he has to do is keep doing what he does.

I did not get to see Q's game, but understand he shut out the Marlins over the first 4 innings and then had the classic Baad inning that he has all too often. That said, he should win 15 with this team and be of good value for the 200 innings he will likely supply. Not a bad 3-4 starter, and that is all he should be expected to be.

Eloy?

The real concern should be that cease will end up with more career wins for the sox than Quintana gets for the cubs
