Hang in there, tree. If something important happens, we'll let you know about it.

[Butterscup1679666578]

yeah yeah of course

[Gilby]

Sadness.

[Sammy Sofa]

Another inning, another RISP stranded.

 

At some point the FO will try to do add some offensive help...right?

For fucks sake

[guido911]

CUBS are 14-3 (.824) when they score in the first inning.... 25-31 (.446) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

What is the Cubs' record when Rizzo takes 25 steps to reach the batter's box versus when he takes 27?

It's going to be quite the sellers market this year IMO.

 

As a Cardinals fan, I hope the Cards stand pat...it'll cost too much to try and get offensive help.

I kind of doubt they'll add anything more than a bench type. Castro's been awful, but I'm assuming they'll give him time to turn it around until Baez returns. Schwarber will be up on August to play some LF. No room for a big addition unless someone gets hurt.

 

I don't really see them taking Castro, Fowler, or Soler out of the lineup.

I guarantee it's better than the CUBS record when guido911 makes one too many smart-ass trolling comments and gets his sorry ass banned from NSBB.

You don't need to make trades. Just call up some random [expletive] from AAA that will win the batting title

Soler should be back around next weekend

[ARCubsFan]

This is probably a good thing. Enough time for the Cardinals players to get drunk.

I know that's a joke, but 2011 begs to differ. Trading away Rasmus changed that year completely.

I'd much rather they make a move to get a solid bat for LF. Coghlan's been good, but go for someone who isn't a platoon player and can provided more everyday value and impact. Combine that with Soler coming back and now the bench is upgraded with Coghlan and Denorfria available off of it more often. If they really are determined to have Schwarber stick at catcher I'd rather just keep him down and focused on playing at that spot than sidetracking him with a stint in LF.

[Gilby]

why the [expletive] did they start this game at 7:50

Probably not enough.

Is he better offensively right now than Denorfia or Coghlan?
