The Cardinals are sending up Luke Weaver, one of their top pitching prospects. He was their first round selection in 2014. He has no major league stats to speak of, but these are his minor league stats this year:

                                                                   
Year      Lev W L  ERA  G GS   IP BB SO  WHIP  H9 HR9 BB9  SO9 SO/W
2016   AA-AAA 7 3 1.30 13 13 83.0 12 92 0.928 7.0 0.4 1.3 10.0 7.67
2016       AA 6 3 1.40 12 12 77.0 10 88 0.948 7.4 0.5 1.2 10.3 8.80
2016      AAA 1 0 0.00  1  1  6.0  2  4 0.667 3.0 0.0 3.0  6.0 2.00

Looking good, Luke. Except for that face of yours.

Unfortunately you have to go up against the scourge of the NL Central, one Mr. Kyle Hendricks, and he's still not taking any horsefeathers from anyone. Does this look like the face of mercy to you?

Something something Kyle Hendricks is your daddy, Luke. Star Wars reference.

Kyle Hendricks' numbers look like this:

Eh, who am I kidding, they look like that now.

Oh yeah. Keep winning, Cubs.

There's no reason we shouldn't sweep these fucks.

Logan, did you ever know that you're my hero?

This is why we purposely injured Matt Holliday.

It's not too late for David to turn Heyward's season around. DO THE RIGHT THING. Imagine how satisfying it will be to see him swinging dongs around with abandon.
