Not sure its worth its own thread, and for the old timers don't worry I would never dare start another Injury Thread.

 

 

I never expected to be anything other than apathetic about Matt Duffy going on the IL.

Jake is an anti-vaxxer?

Hoyer indicated he wouldn't make personnel decisions based on players refusing to listen to their own team doctors, but he seemed perplexed that in a sport with unavoidable injuries, his team isn't willing to take all precautions.

 

"This is one that can be avoided, and we're not able to avoid it in some ways," Hoyer said. "It's a part of the job I never quite imagined, being involved in that kind of education, that kind of convincing."

 

Not many players have spoken publicly about their reluctance to be vaccinated, while some have questioned the benefit of getting to 85%.

 

"I don't necessarily see that as a competitive advantage or disadvantage," starter Jake Arrieta said. "We have a lot of guys vaccinated. We have not had any cases in the past month, so we're doing OK as a group. And we're being careful about where we go and who we're around.

Consider yourselves lucky that you're not inexplicably in the Pirates' broadcast region. Their announcers are embarrassingly bad

I was really hoping that coming back to the Cubs would magically make Jake serviceable again. It started out looking good but now his numbers resemble the numbers he had in Philly

Just got here. It's always a fun game to read the game thread first and try to guess the score based on the game thread. Sounds like Jake got shelled and maybe Joc hit a home run? So...5-2 Pitt?

 

Oh, Cubs are winning. That makes sense.
