5/30 Cubs vs Brewers both games

Espinoza is the 27th man.

a mouth injury eh

Looking at his BR page, Swarmer played college at a placed called Kutztown. Ryan Vogelsong is the only other player to reach the MLB from Kutztown in the last 100 years. So good for Mr. Swarmer.

Kutztown STATE. It's in Amish/Menonite country in PA. I had an interview there a long time ago. It was one of the most different places I've ever been to in America

If this was a season that mattered I would be so frustrated with the ridiculous number of injuries the Cubs currently have.

If I were Ross the plan for game 1 would be Swarmer for 3-4 innings handed over to Espinoza for 2-3 innings. If the game is close switch to the real bullpen, if the game is already lost try to have Leiter and Gsellman close it out.

 

Get as many innings in game 1 as possible from the chaff. Hopefully it works out but if not NBD. Then I assume Rucker or somebody takes Swarmer's spot between games? Unless Swarmer is getting a start during the Saturday DH too?

That's a funky delivery by Swarmer.

Strike 2 call to Urias was super horsefeathering bad.

That's a funky delivery by Swarmer.

 

The slider is legit too. He's not going to ever be more than an up and down guy, but he might be able to successfully funk his way once through the order, especially since the Brewers aren't at full strength.

[Bertz]

112.9 MPH!!! My lord

[Bertz]

With all the lefties on the docket this week and the team starting to get healthy (on the position player side at least), feels like this week ought to be Schwindel's last stand. Produce or get out.

Halfway through what to expect from Swarmer. His command has been better than I expected.

[PackLandVA]

Line drive in the scorebook - congrats Nelly!!

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Velazquez has passed Jose Martinez on the Cubs all time hit list.

[UK]

It'll be interesting to see when Velazquez gets his 1st hittable FB.

[Bertz]

They're really spitting on the slider now. Time to let Anderson or Leiter have the 4th IMO

[CubinNY]

I’m more excited about the Cubs now than I was at the start of the season. Bring everyone up and get them in the game.

[CubinNY]

Nico! Cubs up 2-1

Frazier a DH in LF

Talk about a DFA candidate - not sure what value he adds
