5/6 Yankees (Montgomery) @ World Champion Chicago Cubs (Anderson) 6:15 FOX

[Gilby]

Now that I'm sitting here watching Starlin being awesome and our pitchers looking old as time, I'm getting really annoyed at how awful Warren was as a Cub.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

So Pena's gonna throw til his arm falls off and get optioned for La Stella tomorrow, right?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

i think it's hilarious that matusz gets a ring and theo basically publicly was quoted as saying his ego got too much of him for just allowing matusz to start one game

 

They should have had a special ring ceremony before this awful game to give Matusz, Federowicz, and Warren their rings.

Stand em all at first base and have Lester throw the rings to them from the mound

[Gilby]

Damn, I didn't realize Contreras' OPS is sitting in the .650s.

[Agony and Ivy]

I kinda hope we get no hit tonight because I started Montgomery in multiple leagues.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Trade everyone and rebuild around Almora.

[David]

I'm so happy Almora looks more than useful

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Almora has as many hits as Contreras and Baez combined

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Almora has as many hits as Contreras and Baez combined

 

I have no idea if this is true but it feels like it right

[Derwood]

The Cubs suck and we were always right to hate them

UPDATE: Fangraphs says that Almora has fewer hits than either, so I think I need to find a new statistical source

[Schwarber Fan]

It does feel like it yet he has fewer than both guys (in far less PA, of course)

[Schwarber Fan]

Swinging bunt and seeing eye single. Ho hum.

[David]

very weird to see kb look bad doing anything on a baseball field

[Transmogrified Tiger]

why did I stop reading Verducci's book for this

don't worry starlin being awesome won't last very long

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Why don't you just tell us the number of runs you want to score?

[mikeyt34]

So do we DFA Anderson? Serious question. I kind of doubt it.

[sweetpeteman]

So do we DFA Anderson? Serious question. I kind of doubt it.

 

 

I don't know if he gets DFA'd, but Montgomery should get the spot the next time around and move Anderson to the pen for now. Or, to the DL with an "injury".

[Transmogrified Tiger]

So do we DFA Anderson? Serious question. I kind of doubt it.

 

If he legitimately felt a twinge in his back at all they'll put him on the DL. I don't want to see him on the 25 man again though, even Zastryzny would be preferable.

[Schwarber Fan]

So do we DFA Anderson? Serious question. I kind of doubt it.

 

My guess is he'll go on the phantom DL and if Montgomery doesn't pitch well in his stead, he'll get another start that will decide his fate once and for all.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Yeah, he'll most likely be put on the DL. But I don't want to see him pitch in a Cub uniform ever again. He's toast. There's no hope with him. No point in even sticking him in the 'pen. He just sucks.
