9/13 Stupid losers (Monty) @ Nats (Ross) 3:05 NBCSN

Would be hilarious if hitting leadoff again jump starts a slumping Rizzo

 

Is Matt Szczur still around and can we get Rizzo one of his bats?

[Thed Hoyerstein]

Russell is still playing way too much.

I think Maddon trying hard to get him hitting for the playoffs..

I’m optimistic. I don’t know why but I feel good.

If Russell is getting starts in the playoffs, something has gone horribly wrong.

I'd rather have him in there and Javy at 2nd than Javy at SS and Murphy at 2B. Murphy isn't hitting enough to make up for his defense that I just cannot stand to watch.

Yup, Murphys offense is probably equal to Russels offense at this point, and Addi gets you +++++ defensive infield

Take the wheel, Mad Men:

The first Mad Men thread last year was also on 9/13. It's like 9/11 for the rest of the NL Central, plus two.

I mean sure, if Murphy is gonna continue to be a 99 OPS+ guy like he has been the last couple of weeks, sure. I would anticipate that he's going to break out of this slump, though. I'd rather have Murphy get you 3 AB's, and then hopefully you have a lead where you can pull him for Russell in the 7th inning or so.

 

Russell has just been so bad at the plate that I don't think anything is going to fix him this year.

LOL Rizzo

Why Maddon has to get Russell ABs , to see if he can get it going..

 

Also, he probably would want Russell hitting against lefties over Murphy

Rizzo didn't pack any extra clothes/pants for the trip. His uniform is it.

I'm not sure what would constitute going off the deep end for him. Is he typing in all caps and threatening physical harm to players?

[Brian707]

How about a nice RD game for a change? 9-2 Cubs so I can get some work done

went on like a 10 tweet rant about how and why all his teams suck and they will suck for the foreseeable future

The way the offense is going, it might take them a week to score 9 runs.

he likes to say something about how the next 10 years of chicago sports are going to be so miserable and I always want to point out that in the last 10 years the Cubs went from having the best record in the league, to completely gutting the team to nothing while under going a massive rebuild that has yielded 3 (hopefully 4 soon) straight playoff appearances and a World Series title. You can't give some rebuttal about poor management in place either because 10 years ago the Tribune Co owned the Cubs, Jim Hendry was the GM, and the ballpark was falling apart and there was no concrete plan in place for renovations.
