Can we put in Patton so he can throw his arm out and we can get Stevens from AAA.

 

Edit: Or we can pretend he blew his arm out and put him on the 15 day DL

That didnt sound very positive, Polly.

[Z38Cubs]

Lou needs to pull a Ned Yost and platoon Harden/Marshall. Harden in road games and Marshall in home games.

 

Yes, I'm kidding, but seriously, look at Harden's home numbers. They're awful.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto flied out to center field

[Butterscup1679666578]

hahahahaha come on. this is so stupid.

[Positive Polly]

More warning track shots

[weis21]

WTP

[illiniguy]

3 warning track shots.

[inari]

The Cubs have really hit the ball hard. Just not hard enough I guess.

[E.J.]

Hilarious.

[UMFan83]

Can we just accept that Harden is not a good pitcher unless hes facing a bad team?

 

yup. I though he looked bad against Pittsburgh. He was just facng a bad team so the 8 or so hits he gave up didn't cause too much damage.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fontenot singled to center field

[Butterscup1679666578]

lol

[E.J.]

At least Harden is fast as [expletive].

[illiniguy]

man he is fast.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Harden bunted for an IF single to third base , Fontenot to second

[E.J.]

He was out.

[Flames24Rulz]

Who's faster, Harden or Z?

 

Man I miss good Harden.
