each day i dread that today is the day soler gets his day off to rest his legs or whatever

 

yay

 

You just know he's getting an off day whenever Bryant debuts just so they can deprive us of seeing the peak awesome lineup for at least another day.

[PrimeTime]

Liking the lineup besides Herrera in there..Where's he from again? Boston or Texas? No other options though with Olt and La Stella hurt. :(

They could bring up Chris Valaika, but that would just be trolling the MLBPA at this point.

Manny helping Soler out. Watched video, told him to start looking away. Says the HR in 8th was Soler's best at-bat

Is the whole hamstring issue something we still have to worry about like forever?

 

I think it's a little overblown to be honest. He's had some hamstring issues arise over his first couple of seasons, sure, but the big injury was his fracture that kept him out. He had a hammy issue shortly after that IIRC, and the Cubs were just extra cautious with him from there on out which is why I think people think it's a major concern. I really think the leg thing is overblown a bit. Hamstrings get hurt easily in this sport, I don't think Soler is the Mr. Glass of hamstrings at all like a lot of people have made him out to be.

Wasn't that the AB where he whiffed on two straight meatballs before hitting the third one out? The result was great, but the AB wasn't exactly stellar.

He whiffed on the first, but fouled the second one straight back, iirc.

La Stella has been DLed and Rosscup has been called up.

Oblique strain/rib cage inflammation. His right side hurts.

Thanks. He has an "upper body".

This could be my favorite roster move of the Epstein era. The bullpen is a bit taxed from a series of short starts, and 3-4 days from now, they can call up Bryant completely for baseball reasons.

I'm not saying Theo intentionally managed to get Olt and La Stella to get hurt somehow to give him a convenient excuse to get Bryant up on the first day possible, but I'm not NOT saying it.

Could Bryant join #Cubs this homestand? Theo: "It depends on what's happening w/the roster, what's happening w/his development."

"If you hit Mike Olt on the wrist we won't try to win until there are 2 outs in the 9th tomorrow."

[Hairyducked Idiot]

My belief that we will win this game is off the charts to unjustifiable levels.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm really enjoying reading Reds forums this year. It just really hasn't occurred to them that their team might suck. They're in that same White Sox/Brewers bubble where all the projection systems think they are bottom-feeders, but the fans don't see it that way.

Why the hell is Votto their two-hitter?

So he can hit behind Hamilton.
