4/26 Brewers (Nelson) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 7:05 CSN

It's a good thing we have the best catching prospect in baseball in case Montero needs to hit the DL

 

Yeah, it's also good that we are 14-5 despite Montero's 66 wRC+. Not even worried. If Montero hits the DL, let Ross handle the load for awhile, call up Federowicz for awhile. No sweat. We'll hardly notice it.

 

What? Hell no! It'll be Wilson Contreras, your table is ready sir. He's an immediate offensive upgrade to Montero.

 

No, that's not even close to necessarily so.

[Vinestal]

*sigh* screw you guys, he's ready...

[Bryants Disco Ball]

If this were even a slightly lesser team, Nelson is the kind of pitcher I would expect to have one of those annoyingly good outings from a relative unknown. As it is, he's the perfect guy for Heyward to hit that first HR off of.

 

Jimmy Nelson can actually be pretty damn nasty at times. Would not surprise me if he shut down the Cubs, especially in this weather.

 

Hope you can bump this later tonight and mock this post.

Ross playing like he's 5 years younger than he actually is also helps.

[ScrubMD]

no braun

 

Holy hell that is a terrible lineup. How do they not have a worse record? Have they just been lucky so far?

[BigSlick]

What is with all the Montero hate from randos lately?

 

I didn't know he was such a polarizing figure

[Cubswin11]

So is Javy the back up catcher tonight?

[philosophizer75]

Obviously the team isn't good enough yet, and we need to upgrade until we get at least 4 WAR players at every position. Trade the entire farm for Buster Posey immediately, lest we risk ending the season with a winning percentage south of .600.

I saw one beat writer saying that is the plan.

[David]

kyle looks good

[Cubswin11]

Nice start by Hendricks, appears to be a rather big zone tonight

[David]

wtf how slow is dex

[bukie]

17 pitch 1-2-3 inning, even when it's easy it's hard.

[Tryptamine]

Carter some how walks on 4 strikes and 2 balls.

[Clem Fandango]

Booooo ump

[NotSoSober]

this zone got tiny really quick.

[CubinNY]

I'd be nice if The Cubs can get a generous zone for once.

[UMFan83]

Quit nibbling

[bcl412]

I don't think there will be many dongs

[David]

well that was a nice recovery

[bukie]

So it would seem that the Cubs will need to score runs to win this game.

"Tickets are still available for opening week"

 

It's well past opening week wgn

[Brian]

ok that guy straight ninja, a 15 on the old Soler scale

[TruffleShuffle]

Quit nibbling

 

the alternative to hendricks nibbling is hendricks throwing batting practice.

[UMFan83]

Start being a better baseball player Jorge
