9/22 Brewers (Cravy) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 7:05 pm CSN+

[Sammy Sofa]

I like Russell as much as the next guy, but if Javy can hit...

 

...it'll be great watching them both in the lineup at SS and 3B respectively?

So Bryant moves to the OF. Is Schwarber now a C-only guy? Or is he still in the mix? What about Soler? They are awesome problems to have but decisions will definitely need to be made this offseason.

 

I kinda want to trade Schwarber.

 

And it has nothing to do with him being a little cold right now. I don't think him being in the OF is the best option long term, and I'm kinda bummed that if he's a catcher it means you automatically get him in the lineup significantly less than if he were playing another position.

 

I guess I'm just not opposed to the idea of trading him for something insane. And it would have to be something insane to justify it in the first place. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut, if he was the centerpiece in a deal to net someone like Stanton?

Schwarber as a main piece in a deal for Brantley and Kluber?? That's insane and I agree, it needs to be something insane

 

Oh, no doubt. This would be game for game.

Arrieta is downright historic at this point, my god is he a treat to watch

[badger1679666666]

How demoralizing must it be to face Arrieta? So sick.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 59-23 (.720) when their starter pitches 6 innings or more.... 29-39 (.426) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

i would imagine if you're trading Schwarber/Soler in some combination you'd be aiming for pitching

No pitcher is worthy.

 

Also: [expletive] pitchers.

Yeah, that's the pairing I was thinking of; though I don't know enough about what Stanton is going through with that hand of his to know if that would be too risky. I thought he was only supposed to be out through, like, July, but he still hasn't come back and is dealing with complications from scar tissue. But man, he was just obscene before he went down.

I actually was mentioning that in saying that you'd need to trade both of them in different deals and I'm not sure Soler's trade value is where it should be based on his talent level. To me, Schwarber and Soler is way too much for Stanton.

Oh, yeah, I'm not saying it just be only those three players involved in such a deal. That would be bonkers.

That was my thought. There's enough PA available to get everyone that deserves them at least 400

Two of the three Brewers hits were grounders to short, also.

Shame, that 19 pitch inning probably rules out a Maddux for Arrieta.
