It's a single game. Also, Sharma's indicated that Baez is going right back to shortstop afterwards, so it's still more about Valaika than it is player development.

 

Maybe they're doing one of those let him play every position in one game things.

[Careless]

"He figured to pitch today. He was scheduled to come in after Jackson, who is limited due to his... his injury"

 

heh

[rawaction]

No cure for suck.

[Smack]

welcome back big J!

[Little Slide Rooter]

That's our Edwin.

[George Hayduke]

Whelp, 2/3 of an inning. Awesome.

When our 2015 draft pick becomes a superstar, you will all be thanking EJax for his contributions this year.

[Irrelevant Dude]

He better not start a single game next year.

[Sammy Sofa]

Wait, the Cubs [expletive] LOST 8-4 last night? What a bunch of clods.

[George Hayduke]

Better get John Baker warming up in the pen. It's going to be one of those days.

[UMFan83]

Factoring in the teams, the game situation, and the presumptive NL MVP vs. 8 1/3 of the Cubs pen, how many times would the Cubs win this game if they played it from this point 1 million times? 0? 2?

[DiamondMind]

Did he throw ONE pitch that wasnt a fastball on the outside corner? No velocity changes, no movement changes, no location changes - what a loser.

[treebird]

why didn't that carry more picofangryfrog.gif

[George Hayduke]

Rizzo!

[Smack]

Of course we're going to waste the worst start of the year for Kershaw.

[George Hayduke]

Soler is all man.

[Sammy Sofa]

I want to put up my sig pic of smilin' Soler. LET ME DO IT.

[DiamondMind]

Soler is really, really good.

[George Hayduke]

If we end up losing this game by a run or two, I will personally find Edwin Jackson and throw him into an active volcano.

[Careless]

Better get John Baker warming up in the pen. It's going to be one of those days.

Not in September
