5/9 Cubs (Wood) @ Brewers (Lohse) 6:10 CSN

[Little Slide Rooter]

Well, does Wada come back and push Wood to the pen?

 

Is there any point in holding out for Turner at this point?

 

But my hunch is that you know who gets the first crack at it if a rotation spot opens up.

Just get Wada on the next plane already, Jeebus.

There's point in holding out hope, but I don't think he's even gotten back into a throwing routine yet.

Castro looks terrific lately

Castro looks terrific lately

he was five for his last thirty coming into today.

[ScrubMD]

I know he wouldn't be up for awhile anyway, but is Pierce Johnson alive?

[Schwarber Fan]

What a joke the strike zone is every night.

travis wood probably listens to icp

[TruffleShuffle]

Way to pitch around it Travis

 

smfh

 

AGAIN....LFer....#2/3 caliber starter....bullpen arm capable of closing

The back end of the Cubs bullpen isn't the problem

 

 

not saying it is necessarily....with this starting staff.....a lead after 6 needs to be a done deal/a wrap...ala the Royals of last year etc...That's IF nothing should happen to Rondon....as always...IMO

 

coming into this game, the cubs had the third-best starters' FIP in baseball.

Yea strike 2 (making it 1-2 instead of 2-1) to Addy was BS....at least it looked up and in.

If lately meant his last three PA's, it would be accurate.

But is there any word on if he's throwing at all, or if he's going to be out for awhile?

[Guest]

Castro has looked very good the last couple games in terms of approach. He's been taking the ball to right instead of rolling over everything. It hadn't gotten him a bunch of hits yet, but there's been a pretty marked change, and it's for the better.

I haven't heard anything, I think he fell into the ultra-conservative injury twilight zone that Arodys Vizcaino most famously inhabited.

[ARCubsFan]

Get him out, now.

[CincyCubsFan]

[expletive] Wood.

[Schwarber Fan]

Give it back every time, Travis.

Insert my typical rant about Wood & fly balls

[OleMissCub]

I've never even seen a Menards but that jingle has been in my subconscious for like 15 years now

Come on offense; need double digits tonight
