7/24 DBR (Harang) @ Cubs (Wells) 1:20 CSN

[Little Slide Rooter]

that's about a half dozen K's looking for Hill in the past 4 or so games

 

he's basically a second pitcher in the lineup.

 

Either that or a replacement Aaron Miles.

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

[Flames24Rulz]

No Len, there's also these things called trades. You don't need to just 'go with what you have.'

How much longer until Soto is due back?

Encarnacion called out on strikes

 

His numbers are awful this year. Is he bad or just another victim of the DB school of baseball?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Phillips stole second base

[Derwood]

Looked out

[Guest]

Missed tag.

[JonJayCutler]

Not a great day for Fontenot in the field.

[Keener98]

WTF Fontenot?

August 1st seems a little premature for Soto

 

Jul 21 Reports from the team's training facility in Mesa say that Soto (oblique) is progressing but still not swinging a bat, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. That suggests that an early August return might be optimistic.

 

Recommendation: Soto was hurt on July 8, and the original prognosis was that he'd be out for a month. While oblique injuries can take six weeks to heal, at this point, it looks like he'll be back sometime between early to mid-August.

Yea Lou was interviewed before the game, and he said 1st of August. Cant remember if he said Aug 1, or the 1st part of August.

[laurens]

So Gomes gets to a full count by watching a slider in the dirt, before striking out on the next pitch which was... a slider in the dirt.

 

How very Cublike

[erik316wttn]

Gonna be one of those 10-8 games today, I think.
