1. I heard council drop kicked him in the kidney.

3. Sounds like he caught a case of “bad-at-baseball-itis”

4. I love how TMac even put quotes on the injury 😂

5. If this is the beginning of the end for his Cubs tenure I’m just glad he got to have one more solid season last year 🙁

6. Thank you for everything Kyle. You will always have fans, but this was very much needed.

   I am sure it has not been a pleasant time for everyone involved. Age gets to us all but pitchers in this game the most.

   Maybe you will somehow get your stuff back, but even if you do not the fans will always have your back.

   Now go take care of your kid for a while and try and work on what comes next!

7. Time to take old yeller out back

8. Friend: Is Kyle actually hurt?

   Wife: His feelings are.

   Me: Well, he’s been hurting ours all month.

9. My lower back is hurting too. Sucks getting old.

10. “Hey Kyle, it’s Jed. Your back and ass hurt.”

    “Tell me something I don’t know already, Jed.”

11. Smyly DL too. We know Wesneski and Mervis are up and they cut Cooper. Who else we calling up?

    NVM it’s Little.

12. Yeah, he came down with a real bad case of the runs.

13. Smyly to IL (hip) as well. Luke Little recalled.

14. BRB gonna go cry in the corner.

15. called this coming after the weekend start, definitely figured some ‘issue’ would pop up before his next start

16. Is this legitimate? I mean he has been bad, but is it an injury or are they just sending him down to work his stuff out?

    Mets GM got suspended for manipulating the IL.

17. Smyly did look like he was hurting in his last outing

18. I think we all saw this coming. Hopefully his gives him a chance to work on things (assuming he’s not actually hurt) and contribute in the future. Also gives some younger guys a shot, especially in the pen. Really need Steele back though and some solution at closer.

19. Hopefully we’re getting our fair share of injuries out of the way early

20. Is it possible he’s been dealing with this and took the blame for not executing rather than let on to opponents that he was hurting?

21. I’ve never wanted someone to actually be hurt more in my life.

    I’ll go down with the ship to the very end.

22. Refocus, work on some things and come back. Professor Kyle is a legend

23. I’ll get the rifle

24. lol that’s what their going with?

25. We used to call this an inflammation of the isuck joint. Hope it’s a short stint.

26. Should put him on the 60 day, just to be safe ya know
