Yes, that's what I was told. You need to listen when I'm on! This aft again

 

Pete Meyer @petemeyer5 @ESPNChiCubs someone told me that you said on the radio that Bryant was 100%. Is this true?

 

Really hope he's in there tonight.

You can set up a VPN at the router level, although the simpler option might be to do it on a laptop and use a Chromecast.

Denorfia's hitting 2nd for a late game Schwarbs PH, don't worry.

[Sammy Sofa]

So they ended up going 10-7 in the stretch against cruddy teams; I was thinking something like 11-6 going into it, so that ended up being not too bad at all.

[JonJayCutler]

No qualms here about Schwarber sitting against Liriano.

Are we really rolling with 14 pitchers tonight?

Yeah, I'll take it. These next games are much more important anyway.

 

Would feel [expletive] great to win both series.

I bet he'll get a start in at least one game this series since it's 3 straight LHP. Today is a good day to have off, he wasn't going to catch with Lester on the mound and he just caught a day game after a night game.

Watch us go with 14 until Montero is back Thursday. Haha. But they'll probably announce Szczur for someone here soon. Thinking they might keep Richard though.

[Irrelevant Dude]

It seems like just a few years ago it was a luxury for teams to keep a 12th pitcher. How many other teams are using 13+ man staffs on a regular basis?

[sneakypower]

i actually wouldn't be shocked to see Haren PH now if we ever go extras or have short SP outing

[sontensei]

if they keep richard who is the odd man out? it has to be soriano right?

Not sure on his minor league stats, but he's OPSing 0.411 against lefties in 18 plate appearances thus far (extremely small sample size).

 

I agree that he can hit anyone, but against a LHP is a good day for his day off.

Sure hope so.

[Schwarber Fan]

As with every Cubs game in Pittsburgh... rain moving through. Should be able to play, hopefully no delays.
