When Barrett should serve his suspension

[CubsBullsBears]

After reading Ken Williams get all pissy over Barrett's suspension, I looked at the Cubs schedule. We have a 9-game strecth from June 16-25 when we play AL Central teams. If an appeal isn't heard by then, Barrett should just drop his appeal and serve it then. We'd be undermanned vs. AL Central teams, and we'd have him for the Cubs-Sox series, just the way Sox fans like it. :P :D

Enough about the White Sox plz

 

Barrett should serve his suspension after his appeal is heard and his suspension hopefully reduced.

[cubfan1955]

I think he shouldn't have appealed and got it out of the way so he's back when Lee, Prior and Miller come back and we start our march to first place. :shock:

Agreed. I don't think the timing matters. Like TT said, do it right after the appeal process is done.

I will say any time Derrek Lee returns/during the all-star break.

[cubs121]

i say like arounnd june 10 to 20 ?? possibly!

[Larry Horse]

At this point, does it matter?

What he said.

[katway]

Cubs can lose with him or without him... really no preference.

[CubsBullsBears]

The reason I brought it up is b/c KW got all pissy over it. I just thought it would be really funny if what KW got all pissy about actually happened, what he would do. That the AL Central teams play the Cubs undermanned, yet the Sox face us at full strength.

If he can serve it that last 8 games of the season, that would be the way to go imo.

CUBS are 14-24 (.368) when Barrett starts.... 4-7 (.363) when Blanco starts.

So they are pretty bad either way. However, we're undefeated when Soto starts this year. :D

To those who have been through things like this before and remembers. When is it LIKELY the descision will be made and when will Barret serve it?

Sometimes they will hold the appeal when the team is in NY. Sometimes they will bring the player to NY on an off day. Sometimes Watson will go to the player. I think the suspension starts immediately upon the decision of the appeal being made.

It's no longer in NY. It can be done anytime. And if the player wins, he can choose when to serve. If it is upheld, he must serve right away.

I think he should serve it today.

 

Imagine a lineup tomorrow of:

 

Pierre- CF

Womack- 2B

Walker- 1B

Jones- RF

Neifi- 3B

Bynum- LF

Blanco- C

Cedeno- SS

Maddux

 

I'd never put it past Dusty.

I still think he should start when the Cubs play against AL Central teams, just to piss of Ken Williams.

It just occured to me that Michael Barrett has started every game (9 consecutive) since the A J Pierzynski incident. That's his longest string of consecutive starts since he joined the team in 2004. His previous high was 6.

Maybe Dusty has realized exactly how much Hank White sucks.

If the player wins there wouldn't be a suspension to serve.

That would mean Dusty actually used his brain, which would be unprecedented.

I assume he meant if it's reduced on appeal.

Of course he did, but that's not winning the appeal.
