After another horrendous outing that ended with his walking off the mound to boos at Wrigley Field, Brett Anderson isn’t on any Chicago Cubs fan’s Christmas card list.
On Saturday against the Yankees, Anderson recorded one out, serving up five earned runs on six hits. By contrast, catcher Miguel Montero pitched a scoreless ninth, despite walking a pair. So, the backup catcher outperformed the starter.
Obviously, that’s about as bad as it gets for a big league starting pitcher. And Anderson knows it.
Pretty simple really, I’m embarrassed…get healthy and pitch better otherwise I don’t need to be here, simple as that.
