7/12 - Braves (Minor) @ Cubs (Jaxon) - 3:05 WGN

[Guest]

When you're playing your 10th game in 9 days you don't really have the luxury of playing matchups in the 4th when your starter only goes 3.2 IP/6 ER.

 

Also, the Cubs appear to be mocking us by actually giving us 2 Jackson starts in 3 games.

 

@BruceMiles2112 #Cubs will go Jackson, Wood, Arrieta at AZ after break. Decisions to be made on fourth and fifth spots.

Maybe they're trying to blow up Jackson's elbow.

Regular rest.

There's no reason for anyone other than Wada and Hendricks not to get first crack at the last 2 spots.

They must really like Daz Cameron.

new market inefficiency: purposefully injure your crappy players

If bonifacio ever came back a lineup like this isnt half bad

 

Bonifacio

Alcantara

Rizzo

Castro

Valbuena

Ruggiano

Castillo

Coghlan

How on earth can you reason that Bonifacio has been good?

Good is relative. Bonifacio has been what he always is, about a .320 ob%. In this scenario he is in the lineup for Barney, Lake, or Olt. So maybe "better" is the term to use.

Also the lineup isn't half bad as long as Ruggiano and Coghlan keep it up, Valbuena does not take a 2nd half swoon, and Alcantara plays like we hope.

[Sammy Sofa]

No, Bonifacio has been horrible since April.
