[Aaron_Kennelly]

Starlin being our second baseman in the playoffs and being competent offensively would be fantastic.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Damn you JD. Now you have me Googling "Kronk running"

Starlin Castro has always been my favorite, we have always been at war with Addison Russell

Is it wrong that I get disappointed when scwarb does anything besides dong the baseball?

If Starlin, TLS, or Javy can take hold of the 2B job (not a lock that happens), then Soler probably goes to the bench if he returns at all.

Nah. He is simply powering up.

[Guest]

Imagine if we hadn't gotten swept by one of the worst teams in baseball before going on this ridiculous run

He and Javy are pinch dongers

CUBS seeing 3.40 P/PA through 6 innings.

Check out the last 30 days...

 

Fowler .327/.452/.644

Bryant .290/.382/.591

Rizzo .313/.402/.667

Russell .301/.327/.516

Schwarber .217/.348/.500

Montero .289/.400/.632

Coghlan .224/.272/.500

Soler .287/.357/.379

 

That's just cartoonish in this offensive environment. I'm especially amused by Schwarber's ISO.

Yeah that's the other thing. I'm not sure we see Soler again this year. Look how long it took LaStella to come back from an oblique strain and then consider Solers history of leg injuries.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Soler and Coghlan platoon in RF, and Soler pinch hits when they bring in a lefty reliever.

Hey Fred do you have numbers on who leads both the AL and NL in pitches per plate appearance?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Nah.... I only keep numbers on the CUBS.

I'm all for pulling Arrieta after this inning regardless of his pitch count. Let the bullpen finish it up.

[CubInOK]

They swept us as they were in the middle of winning 11 of 13. I'm not too mad.
