[Banedon]

Cubs are pulling a guy from the stands to pitch against a guy that may or may not be a Brewer by game time.

Give us that 2003 Estes start, Mills

[Cubswin11]

Heyward out of the lineup for the second straight day, I wonder if he's banged up?

[Liam Neeson]

So even though Harvey was claimed they are still starting him?

Going to the game today, safe to assume there will be a ton of player's weekend merch? Because I will buy the hell out of an Edwards or Javy shirt

They let random pitcher guy do players weekend stuff too?

Theo: "We're calling up a rando to pitch on players weekend"

 

Cubs equipment guy: "I'll put a Y on the end of his name"

He's also been hitting like an anus again for a while now.

Mills should go Urena and just hit Hamilton to start the game, he's going to get a stupid hit anyways.

unless it has a y already, in which case, we'll remove it

His last 7 games aren't that terrible. At least when you consider the rest of his Cubs career before this year.

The pop-up Clark St. Sports store had an El Mago shirt and several jerseys when I was there 2 weeks ago. There may be more choices there or elsewhere by now.

.125 .176 .188 .364 really revs my engine, baby.

So even though Harvey was claimed they are still starting him?

 

I read that the waiver claim is set to expire an hour before the game so we will know within the next 90 mins whether he is starting or on the Brewers

[UMFan83]

Heyward's season OPS is getting down to last year's garbage level. He has a .608 OPS over his last 30 games and not much better recently. He's back to being garbage. But we will always have June 2018, wont we J-Hey?

[Brian707]

Maybe the Brewers were just blocking him so the Cards and Cubs didn't put a claim in(disclaimer: I know next to nothing on the waiver process)

I want them to get him so I can post dumb things about mortgaging their future.

Mine was last 7 days from BR.

Yeah...well...my small sample size is clearly far more meaningful than your small sample size!

 

I dunno...he's not good...I just feel like he has a chance to do positive things on a semi-regular basis this year, where I didn't feel like that in previous years.

With as particular as people get about game thread titles around here, I'm surprised no one has called out Brandon for listing yesterday and today as being AT Reds
