7/2 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Pirates (Musgrove) 6:05 NBCSC

[Schwarber Fan]

Bote has been hitting absolutely bombs the last 2 days in BP and goes 2-2 off the bench yesterday, yet Russell continues to start.

Jesse got rightfully ratio'd to hell on this one, and honestly it made me even angrier to realize it was essentially 50/50. I was made thinking it was 65/35. And that's before all the other ways to get Bote in the line up.

Russell is horsefeathering atrocious. Neither he nor Descalso should see the field on this team.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Why are we so horsefeathering against the IBB. Rather save those pitches and just point him to the base.

[UMFan83]

It’s such an easy move to make to cut him. Every day he sucks it’s clear he’s unlikely to become a viable starter and no one is going to criticize you for cutting a domestic abuser if he signs elsewhere and puts it together.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

OK, let's try to hit some solo dongs.

I'd rather take a chance with Dixon Machado TBH. He can fill that utility IF role. Graded well in every MLB stint also.

 

I think this is mostly on Joe. He's really convinced we need Russell up the middle, from the quotes I've read.

Well then, horsefeathers Joe.

If there’s anything the Cubs really don’t need it’s a short outing from a starter

[Sammy Sofa]

Time for some of that ol' rain delay motivation magic from Heyward.

He was only going to throw like 65 pitches this game any way.

[Schwarber Fan]

I’m actually at PNC so my opinion is marginally more valid than usual. Looks like it doesn’t clear up until 11 ET Ast the earliest.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Russell apologists are probably trying to remember why they defended their guy so vehemently. When an abuser isn't helping your fav sportsball team might be the breaking point of continued support.

He’s got a motivational presentation for all occasions.

[BigSlick]

This team is such trash right now. They’d struggle to put away the 2003 Royals

Oh that was you? They showed you on the broadcast

2004 LaTroy Hawkins would be perfect in saves vs them.

Neifi Perez would put up a 1.000 OPS in 100 PAs against our pitching.

Rain Delay and they show Beer Money...

 

$20 question: What does Ben Zobrist’s wife do for an occupation?

[Hawk4Hall]

I’d rather see Todd Walker today bat than Russell or Delcalaso.

 

Hell, what’s Ryan Theriot up to?

[OleMissCub]

Hell, what’s Ryan Theriot up to?

 

Going on rants about LSU baseball

Trick question. He doesn’t have a wife.

Too soon. Too soon.
