[sneakypower]

at what point do we freak out about KB's ankle?

when Tommy La Stella has a lower OPS

For the longest time i thought i banged aaron blair's aunt. Turns out i was wrong, but i still count it among my list of brags.

 

Not to be Mojo, but who the hell knows who Aaron Blair is?

I always love the "out today but no DL expected" line. Is there not an in between?

Please be better by Sunday, KB.

Well, there isn't a 7-day DL in MLB, and that would be the perfect place for him right now.

I don't understand the question.

There is if we can convince Manfred that Bryant rolling his ankle somehow concussed him.

That's only for concussions. The minors have a 7 day DL that I believe is for anything.

If you've got to miss a few games, best to be against the awful teams.

I know that the Cubs have made their opponents look like minor league teams this season, but I'm still pretty sure the Cubs and their opponents are Major League Baseball teams that have to play by Major League Baseball rules.

Would designating Bryant to the minors and putting him on the 7 day DL affect his service time?

[UMFan83]

Fowler - CF

Heyward - RF

Zobrist - 2B

Rizzo - 1B

Soler - LF

Baez - 3B

Russell - SS

Ross - C

Lester - P

 

I love how this is the lineup with 2-3 regulars out (depending on whether we still consider Schwarber a regular for this season at least)

That tweet just implies that he might be back tomorrow, which would be to say "well, of course he wouldn't need DL time."

it's called day to day.

 

it's a common thing

[Cubs Fan Dan]

I get a feeling Javy is about to go off this weekend and steal majority playing time from Soler. Anyone else feeling this way? He seems to be on a different level this year at the plate and is showing a lot of confidence.

He might be back tomorrow...he might be back Sunday....he might be back Monday...but they don't expect him to be gone long enough that they will need to bring in another player and be without Bryant for 15 days.

 

This isn't hard stuff.

[BigSlick]

Javy still looks like he's majorly guessing but he is smacking balls with authority so that may just be who he is. Which, you know, plenty of MLB players made fine careers doing this (Soriano, for one, and Javy is 100x the defensive player Soriano ever was).

 

Everything will be fine with Babe La Stella, anyway

I'm so happy with this season so far, I just bought the Cubs golf pants from loudmouth. I'm also not very good with money.

Anybody interested in 4 tickets to this game? Section 209, Row 2. Let me know.

 

If it wasn't clear, I'm offering these up for free. I can email them over. Pretty good seats on the 3rd base side.
