Time to pull Assad soon. He looks like he’s running out of gas.

Sutcliffe did fill in for most West Coast games last season.  But I always assumed that was more about JD's travel/schedule  demands and not the Cubs unwillingness to send their full broadcast team on the road. 

On a related note, I was watching a Giants broadcast last week and they had their primary play by play guy live in the booth and the color commentator was remote.  I think it was likely health-related, but I thought that made for an interesting broadcast dynamic.  I can't go 10 seconds without accidentally talking over someone on a conference call.

Yeah I saw one of those too earlier this season. Krukow has had health issues so that must be it. That's an arrangement you can only get away with when you have a pairing that's been together as long as those guys have.

[Crusader]

Is anyone else’s audio messed up? Not hearing the announcers at all for that half an inning.

At least 1 more rehab start, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is more than that.  There's no reason to rush him back right now.

Am I missing something or are we still starting drew smyly tomorrow 

[Rex Buckingham]

Left Assad in too long

[Crusader]

Saw that coming. I know he was trying to save the pen a bit, but he left him in there too long.

Holy horsefeathers

[Transmogrified Tiger]

The countdown to Cuas going down for Carl is on

[JHBulls]

Ah, horsefeathers.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Does Cuas have options?  If so, I think it's time to figure things out in Iowa.

[PeanutPunch33]

Cuas has been terrible this year 

[Cubs420psd]

Come on you can not blow this.

 

 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Tbh Cuas probably will be optioned after today. Gonna need some fresh arms. Palencia probably out for one more game

[Bobson Dugnutt]

Cuas is a gas can.

[PeanutPunch33]

They should just use Smyly today and give the kid Brown a chance to start again tomorrow
