5/5 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Cardinals (Lyons) 7:15PM WGN/MLBN

Maybe Addison Russel should be hitting 9th anymore.

Wouldn't mind see him and Castro switch, at least until Castro decides to stop hitting like Theriot

isn't that kind of the point to bat him 9th though?

[Guest]

Fowler is having a very poorly timed slump, with Russell catching fire behind him and Bryant and Soler also scuffling a bit.

 

Russell now has an .809 OPS.

[DiamondMind]

There is hope

 

I wouldn't go that far.

[Butterscup1679666578]

why dont we just clone addison russell a bunch?

[halplm]

Can we put Russell in the number 2 slot soon, please?

[NotSoSober]

it would be nice if fowlers starting hitting

[DiamondMind]

I'm fine with keeping Russell 9th. No rush. But Castro does need to get moved out of the sixth slot.

there all is aching

Theriot at least went to right field. Castro is intent on pulling everything

[ARCubsFan]

Jaxon in. This'll end well.

yes it's super pressing to hit him 7th

[DiamondMind]

I read Varvaro hasn't pitched in like eight days or something, Motte blows, not surprised to see Jackson I guess. Hopefully he isn't incredibly nervous and demonstrative this time. Just throw your damn two seamer at the knees and pray.

if the cubs lose this game, i say tomorrow we use the fatalism thread as the game thread

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I say just leave him where he is. Let him continue to experience some success. Also, he will slump again soon since he's 21.

There are more than a few people who are already ahead of you.

let's move him to 9th and see how much attention we can draw to his slump, that will fix everything

He's less likely to slump with Rizzo behind him than Fowler...
