I believe that was sarcasm

great, just when Willy looked to break out of a slump his hot-rodding will get him benched

[CyHawk_Cub]

The 2nd half offensive spiral continues. I agree the brutal schedule has played a big role in that, but not sure how a single day off next Thursday is gonna ameliorate things. Maybe induce ~18 hour medical comas in all the regulars to ensure deep, deep sleep?

I doubt Joe benches him for this, he’ll get a good talking. Willy should be in there vs the two lefties at the least in Arizona.

Joe has been trying to everyone rest on the fly the last few days so hopefully that helps

did Schwarber bat today?

Why would Maddon use a HR hitter to PH in a 1 run game late..

 

Ha, i kid lol

Funny, only too 14 games left into the season for Maddon to act like a manager and call out a player..

 

He feeling a little pressure from upper management???????

[Soul]

Crew blew a chance today but when I look at their remaining schedule it’s a lot of riff raff

 

I expect we’ll need to play decent the rest of the way or it’s WC play-in

It always works out well when a new account posts early & often w/ #hottakes.

We have equal riff raff left, I’m hoping we can go 8-5. They’d have to go 11-1 to pass us, 7-6 should be good enough too. They’d have to go 10-2.

Survive Arizona and finishing with 10 games in Chicago, after a day off, will be nice.

Joe called out willie for not running and said his teammates weren't happy either

Don’t assume any days off. Could totally see the roof malfunction during a late season monsoon

[gobigred]

Day off Thursday should come with a *.. Day off but only after flying back from the west coast after a night game

[minnesotacubsfan]

Schwarber not going with team to Arizona

 

 

Wait what?

The last two times the Cubs came back from the West coast this year they didn’t get a day off so this is quite a perk

[Cubswin11]

Schwarber not going with team to Arizona

 

 

Wait what?

Sounds like the wanted to play it safe. Face two lefties, so he’d only get 1 start and with two longer plane rides it’s probably not worth the risk of something being reaggravated and he gets an extra day off with the off day Thursday.

Coming into today, their remaining opponent winning percentage was .465, ours was .470. That difference will change a bit because the Pirates are better than the Reds but not much.

 

We both have 3 vs. the Cards, ours at home, theirs in St. Louis.

We both play the Pirates, we get four at home, they have three in Pittsburgh.

We both play a shitty AL Central team, ours is three at the White Sox, theirs is three home to Detroit.

 

The one difference is we have three at Arizona and they have three home to Cincy.
