One of those days. Just can't get a single thing to go your way.

This game is stupid.

This is yesterday's game reversed

Baseball sucks sometimes. Starlin hit it hard at least

[sweetpeteman]

Cubs forfeit, put in Schitter

[DiamondMind]

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, it's brian schlitter

[Schwarber Fan]

So tomorrow: Wada up, Schlitter down. Lastella would've been up but I guess he's hurt now?

Bases empty and down by 3, why not.

Any Reason Baez came out of the Iowa game early?

[DiamondMind]

Wait wait wait wait wait - Schlitter has a breaking ball?

[CyHawk_Cub]

Any Reason Baez came out of the Iowa game early?

 

Hmmm...I would've preferred he had an extended period of success utilizing his (presumed) new approach, but why the hell not. Bring him up. [expletive] it.

He was hit by a pitch earlier, but he batted like 3 times after that. Hmmmm.

this is just a sucky day for sports

[CyHawk_Cub]

Schitter very clutch in a no-clutch-required situation.

 

Would love to see a miracle in the bottom of the 9th. Melancin just seems like a douche, so walking off against him would be fun.

The fact that he left the game is a sure sign he's being called up.

 

In all seriousness, if La Stella was the original plan, Javy next wouldn't surprise me. That said, they would want to get him at-bats and I'm not sure who you bench for him unless you do in fact move Bryant to the outfield.

He's played zero games at third base and left field. At the very least we wouldn't see him for another week+ if they start playing him at those positions tomorrow.

Last year Theo did discuss the possibility of Baez in the OF. It would make sense that either he or Bryant would start playing out there since there would be 0 on the bench.

tough error for Kang
