That's a pretty tweet ain't it?

[CyHawk_Cub]

As expected, no Heyward. Is Federowicz really worth carrying anymore given the extremely thin bench?

I retract what I said in the other thread. That is a beautiful line up.

[badger]

We lose both our stud corner outfielders and are still able to post a lineup like that? Thanks theo.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Yay! Zobrist to the outfield. No big deal, we'll just move the second-best defensive second baseman in the majors, according to UZR, to the outfield so we can play this other guy that is way better than him defensively there.

[badger]

Yaaaaaaay on that IF

 

I don't know if this true or not but I'm pretty sure you get a chubby everytime KB is at 3rd.

I'm pretty sure that for him it's more about javy at second

[badger]

I didn't make a judgment - just an observation.

[David]

Lol I just remember you leading the javy for 2b parade since he was in the minors

thats good news....eventually he will come around at the plate

[Bull]

glad to have the extra bat.

 

batting pitchers in extra inning games is dumb.

[UMFan83]

Ramirez goes? Wtf T-Fed?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Ramirez goes? Wtf T-Fed?

 

Probably just because Heyward will miss some time to have an extra bat? I hope. Maybe when Heyward is back we might see Carl Edwards Jr. or something? We can only hope.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Why are we still keeping the useless Tim Fed around? Is he Maddon's version of Neifi?

[badger]

I can only assume their worried about miggys back relapsing. There can be no other explanation for such a smart organization.

[Gilby]

I'm kinda worried this is a sign the FO thinks Contreras' receiving skills are such a disaster/nowhere near ready that they'd rather play with essentially a man down on the MLB roster than run the slight risk of losing T-Fed on waivers.

did i miss where maddon started him every day and placed him at the top of the order?

[badger]

He does satisfy the role of player we can hate, apparently the sole role on this team at that. So he's got that going for him...

I think this is more that Maddon enjoys being able to pinch hit or pinch run for his catcher in the late innings. Fidodidksns will eventually get DFA.

Go, Soler, go!
