Man, how much you wanna bet he's gonna start Jay in all of the Cardinals game just because of some kind of meatball, reverse-psychology, drunken nonsense?

Fair points. Assuming Heyward on the bench, any reason to explore Zobrist staying at second, Baez at third, Bryant to right? Figure athleticism is more important in RF than at second, but I know KB hasn't played a ton of it this year. Also thought about throwing Contreras out there if Avila kept hitting, but after the injury I doubt that's a possibility.

 

It's interesting. I think I like that idea the most. KB has been really good when he's played in the outfield. And Zobrist is horrible out there. Yet, Zobrist has played second very well.

 

Before all the injuries and sucking, I was all for that. And I think I still am. You lose the Javy/Russell DP dynamic. But it's probably the best way to deploy the skills of all of those guys.

 

I don't see them going that way, though.

Yeah I'd prefer KB in right, but the overall difference isn't enough to worked up about when Zobrist inevitably ends up there (assuming they actually bench Heyward). It's just a scary defensive outfield.

 

Somewhat related, but I would really like to see Russell get a week or so of ABs before October. If Joe keeps Heyward in the lineup, or even looking at what LaStella has done this year, I don't think the starting shortstop job should be handed right back over this year.

Flashbacks to 2005 when Dusty started Enrique Wilson (2B) @ Yankee stadium because he "knew the ballpark"

Hopefully this goes better than the Matusz incident and Theo doesnt go beat the horsefeathers out of street signs or whatever during the game and give a heartfelt apology to the team after.

Even setting aside the quality of barstool(absolute trash), why would you have someone from a sports site covering the Cubs do the stretch?

You can actually see the exact moment Tim's heart breaks.

I'll take the same result as the Matusz incident.

Tseng is making the second ever start by a pitcher who was drafted or signed as an amateur by this Cubs regime.

 

Should say for the Cubs. Godley was drafted in '13

 

Sorry, that's what I meant. Paul Blackburn has also made quite a few starts for Oakland this year too.

No don't excuse him for having nerves. That is what you risk by having someone make their unexpected major league debut in the middle of a pennant race

Are you horsefeathering kidding me?

 

The science experiment would have been a lot cooler the last three days of the season.

This is the game that scares the horsefeathers out of us regarding the remaining quality of our farm system. Edited by TMan92
