Leave it to a guy named Brewer to do something so dumb you’d think he was drunk. After being pulled from Saturday’s fiasco, Colten Brewer fractured his left hand when he punched the dugout wall in frustration. Whether it was simply giving up three runs on two hits and as many walks while retiring just two of the eight batters he faced in the process or the combined weight of the team’s suckitude, Brewer was all of us in that moment. Of course, he may have also cost himself a job.
The Cubs aren’t typically quick to put players on the standard IL, so placing Brewer immediately on the 60-day IL seems to indicate his time with the organization may only last another two months.
