You don’t need a lip reader to know what Trent Thornton thought of his outing Wednesday. The Cubs pitcher yelled “Fuck” twice and angrily hurled his glove into the bench after exiting the 9-5 loss to the Brewers at Wrigley Field.
“He is upset on his way to that Cubs dugout,” Brewers announcer Brian Anderson said while the hot mic caught Thornton.
The odd thing about Thornton’s reaction is that he didn’t allow an earned run while pitching in relief of starter David Peterson in the third contest of this four-game set inside the Friendly Confines.
Thornton is in his first (and maybe only) season with the Cubs and is 5-5 with a 3.40 ERA across 44 games. Chicago is one game behind the Phillies for the top wild-card spot in the NL.
My guess is his 'esprit de corps' wasn't enough to hide his emotions...
