Schwarber: Fully torn ACL and LCL. Out for 172 meaningless games.

[minnesotacubsfan]

He said he can't play this year. I'm taking that to mean LF. But maybe he can DH

[Agony and Ivy]

Rosh Hashanah is still the best explanation and I am going with that.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

So Schwarber was added to the AFL taxi squad, which means he's probably playing in the AFL today.

He'd be waaaaaay too rusty. Right?

This timing is beyond interesting

[Hairyducked Idiot]

And oh look we get a DH in the next round

[Transmogrified Tiger]

He'd be waaaaaay too rusty. Right?

 

I would have to guess so, and this is literally the only game action he can get before world series rosters need to be decided. But there's very little hurt to giving him today to see where his level of sharpness is.

I thought he wasn't on the 40 and therefore ineligible to play in the postseason? No?

[Gilby]

horsefeathers it, we haven't used La Stella or Rob Z anyway. DO IT.

It looks like players on the 60-Day DL are eligible.

As Brett pointed out, they would've waited a few weeks in order to let him (potentially) celebrate with the team if there was a 0% chance of him returning for the WS.

Yup. I cannot believe this is even a remote possibility or is Theo just the ultimate troll???

Agreed, he'd be in Chicago tonight with the team if there was 0% chance of him coming back.

 

I'm sure he's been hitting against real pitching before they made this move. If he gets some hits tonight (and the Cubs win obviously), this might happen.

[raw]

Oh boy! They're playing with my emotions.

[Agony and Ivy]

He has been hitting against live pitching just not in public view. This I know to be 100% fact.

Seriously this the only explanation. He's in the starting lineup tonight too.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

 

[Gilby]

lol, never thought I'd be feverishly checking an Arizona Fall League game while the Cubs are playing a game to get to the World Series but here we are

[davell]

I'm getting chills.

This has to happen. Nothing could ever be so perfect.
