Why does Simmons have to start?

[UMFan83]

 

Jennifer Garner, Alfonso Soriano, Gregggggg Berhalter, potentially Theo. Been a great week for celebrities to come watch our team get pulverized. Tom loves realizing how relevant the Cubs can still be despite being terrible at baseball.

Why does Simmons have to start?

 

A couple of days ago he hit a fly ball to the outfield and yesterday he had a single. That's his equivalent of Sosa's June of '98.

[CubinNY]

Thompson starting off well.

[CubinNY]

Schwindel hurt.

Schwindel hurt.

 

Lower back according to Ross. Doesn't sound real good.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Simmons' wRC+ is a positive number now, gotta stick with a guy this hot

[CubinNY]

Morten is 38 throwing gas. Edited June 17, 2022 by CubinNY

Martin is 38 throwing gas.

Morton, in case anyone else was confused too.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Schwindel hurt.

OH NO THERE GOES HIS TRADE VALUE

I'm on calls - is Thompson looking as good as his results?

[Tim]

Bring back Rivas or give someone else a chance?

I think it's a little bit like the opposite of Kilian's outing, the zone and weather are giving him a helping hand(as evidenced by Morton mowing down everyone too), but there's nothing cheap or unearned about the results so far.

oh look Clint Frazier needs his DFA decision today

Young or Maldonado IMO. Let's cycle through these guys so that we know if we've got anything.

Cubs suck so Arcia’s BS spell over us doesn’t work anymore!!

[CubinNY]

can't do anything easy

Nope, was just waiting for the game to be on the line

 

Edit: I guess not. Cubs win

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Who pitches the 10th? I assume they keep going now until the other team scores more.

I’m so smart!!

I'm hopeful that the disastrous outings in Baltimore and New York were just bad outings and not tied to the SP/RP thing. After all it was the first time through the order that things went to hell

Don't pitchers occasionally get dead arms when they are moving around between being a SP and a reliever? Feels like he didn't have his usual command and stuff in those games.
