Soto

Baker (2b)

Blanco (ss)

Hart

 

 

Is this the actual lineup?

 

yep, according to suntimes twitter.

 

It is but it's changed now. Soto mild oblique strain and Theriot's in for some reason.

[CHCinIC]

Geo has been scratched with a mild left oblique strain. His status is day to day. New lineup:

 

Fukudome

Theriot

Lee

Ramirez

Bradley

Fox

Baker

Hill

Hart

Soto

Baker (2b)

Blanco (ss)

Hart

 

 

Is this the actual lineup?

 

yep, according to suntimes twitter.

 

It is but it's changed now. Soto and Blanco out, Theriot in batting 2nd, Bradley 5th, Fox 6th, Hill 8th.

 

Is there something wrong with Soto? Why would he sit 2 in a row, especially with an off day tomorrow?

[Schwarber Fan]

Soto being out = worrisome?

[Keener98]

So because Soto cant play, it means Theriot has too? Guess Lou feels with Sotos bat out of the lineup he needed another bat in there. So much for Bradley in the 2 spot

From CST twitter: "Soto to be reexamined friday. With 4 games in 3 days Cubs could be forced to get robinson or clevinger from iowa."

It depends how much of a Koyie Hill fan you are.

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

We only got one day at full health. I really hate this year. Just win Cubs.

[Little Slide Rooter]

If only Jake Fox was a serviceable catcher.

Well, being a Wichita State fan, I love Koyie Hill. However, I would much rather have Soto out there.

[soapy]

sonofabitch, geo

[soapy]

so the Cubs played with their full compliment of position players for all of one game.

[Soul]

Surely this one's heading for a weather delay.

We were at full health on the first day of the season, too! ;D

 

2 out of 82 isn't bad, is it?

[Old Style]

So Soriano gets two hits yesterday and Lou decides it's a good time to put him back on the bench?

Any word on how long the delay is expected to be?

Ride the hot hand with Fox? Lou was apparently pretty pissed at the offense.

Not sure yet, but I dont think its going to be long.

With Geo out and Kevin Hart on the mound, I wouldn't be too upset if this game got washed away.

[pitchcs]

No more makeups.

 

Looks like it's going to rain here for a couple hours though

Id rather not have another rainout.

[dew1679666265]

Who the hell is Jeff Baker? I can't believe I didn't notice the Cubs acquiring him.

 

He's a former Rockies utility infielder. We gave up A ball pitcher Al Alburquerque for him.

 

Here's the thread in transactions on the trade.

 

And here's his baseball reference page.

[Careless]

Radar looks like we're going to have a couple of hours of rain
