5/11 Cubs at Cleveland

[Andy]

Hindsight is 20/20 but I'm not sure I'd put the inning in Nick Martini's hands there by sending Joc on 3-2 when Duffy and Rizzo are the next 2 up.

And right on cue Duffy dumps one into RF for another hit.

Riz can pick it.

Adbert is a middle relever.

 

This is a Bayless-ian level hot take

He can't pitch to left handed batters. He's useless as a starter.

lefties are hitting .222 against him.

Bryant left the game because he had the poops

[Schwarber Fan]

Bryant “ill.” Hopefully not COVID, but likely way better than the alternative reason for leaving.

With 16 strikeouts vs 4 walks

[Andy]

Not nearly as good a fake rally as Sunday's

[Schwarber Fan]

I will say it again: give Martini some starts!

[We Got The Whole 9]

Wish we could jettison Heyward. Its incredible to me that he's playing his 6th season with us. Well, 5 legit seasons, and all of them absolutely terrible offensively. The guy can only sort of hit fastballs sometimes; any other pitch and he's toast. Even his launch angle improvement from last year appears to be a mirage.

 

These injuries are killing us. I can't take anymore Vargas.

 

This team is good enough to play above 500 ball, maybe get enough favorable bounces to win high 80s. But they have some real anchors getting too much PT. And LOL @ trading for a guy who hasn't played MLB in 2 years and was last seen putting up -1.3 fwar in only 50 games, who's now 30 years old.

 

Get us some horsefeathering legit OF for fuxache.
