I like what I have seen from Rafael Ortega. What are the chances that he can actually be a useful player beyond this season? Not as an everyday player, but I like him much better off the bench than Happ or Heyward.

Uneventful Javy AB, with first base open. Would be pretty funny to have 'Say goodbye to KB/Rizzo Day' also be a bench clearing brawl day, but looks like it'll stay calm.

Saying it would be cool to get Rizz and/or KB a nice ovation in a pinch hitting spot and then letting Kyle Ryan hit for himself in the bottom of the seventh is certainly a choice.

And just like that the franchise is back to a Trevor Megill or 2 every season. We had a good run.

In less than a week, the Cubs have gone from a very solid bullpen to possibly the league's worst. I guess that is to be expected when trading their 3 best relievers (assuming Kimbrel gets dealt) and sending the 4th best down to get stretched out.

Thats so horsefeathering sad. I feel like this org does everything wrong...I get the whole 'dont play in case of injury' stuff, but horsefeathers give the guys a meaningless PH at bat to give them the ovation they deserve.

The hiring of Ross now looks like a horsefeathering volley of flares fired signalling that this org, at best, did not give two flying fucks about how well this team did over the last 2 seasons, and at worst were actively trying to sabotage it.

Eh, my guess is that they were hoping he could revitalize the clubhouse which would somehow translate to the team playing better even though it was slowly being stripped of talent. Basically a last ditch effort for lack of better options.

 

Funny when Theo/Jed took over we analyzed all their decisions from a "how did we outsmart other teams with this move" perspective. Now its "well they just threw him out there and hoped for the best"

Why didn't Bryant or Rizzo PH for Heyward at the end?

 

 

So why didn’t they bat then?

 

had to get kyle ryan that 2nd inning down 3 runs

 

Sending a reliever back out there for a 2nd inning is one of Ross’s favorite things. Does it all the time.
