8/6 Cobs (Lester) vs A's (Anderson) 7:05 NBCSCH+

Kris Bryant: Rally Killer

[Cubswin11]

Flush it out and go win a series tomorrow

[Sammy Sofa]

That was actually fun.

[Edith Cox]

Castellanos is already tied 10th on the team in doubles tied with Descalso, only 10 off being Top-5

[Schwarber Fan]

If we hadn’t had like 4 fluky wind blowing in August days, Castellanos would have like 4 homers and Kemp would have a couple. Crazy stuff.

So Bryant not being pulled over Heyward was weird. His knee has to be better or the Cubs are dumb.

I think we all know which one is more likely.

[UMFan83]

Listening to radio highlights for some reason. Zaidman has to chill the heck out. He called Bryant’s HR in an 11-0 game with more excitement than Pat called the Cubs winning the World Series.

He just had a day off the other day and you can't rest everyone

[Edith Cox]

Over the last 3 years since Ross retired, Lester has given up 29 ER in 28.2 IP without Willy catching.

[TMan92]

 

What a douche

Not that hard, wasn’t Pat’s best call!!

 

But yes I listened to the 9th on the radio on the way to work and he acted like Castellanos double was a game tying 7 run homer off the Center Field Scoreboard.

[Edith Cox]

Kershaw showed up after being shaky early and gives up 1 over 7 and the Dodgers BP hold on despite making it interesting.

Since Mark Grace retired, the Cubs have won 1 a World Series when Derek Lee want the first baseman.

[GaryWoods]

Would love to extend Castellanos. Wish he and Schwarber were better defenders to keep both.

 

Schwarber's outfield defense might be irrelevant at this point. With Contreras dealing with his second strained hammy in two years plus the strained foot earlier this year, they have to be considering a permanent move to the outfield for him. Which would mean deciding whether to keep Schwarber as a platoon catcher/backup OF or shopping him for a starting catcher.

I’m sorry are you implying that the Cubs are going to use Schwarber at catcher?

I think he’s implying that moving Contreras to the outfield means Schwarber is odd man out

[SouthSideRyan]

Move Schwarber to CF and recreate the power OF from ‘99

[Brian707]

Good run Andy

 

[David]

Move Schwarber to CF and recreate the power OF from ‘99

 

Rodriguez/Sosa/Hill?

Exactly. Although I was really just thinking in terms of the current roster, I guess it's just as likely that they let Castellanos walk after the season and go with Contreras, Heyward, and Schwarber in the outfield.

[squally1313]

I like dongs as much as the next guy, but that outfield would be a disaster.

Someone hit the bottle a little hard last night.
