Show me in this doll where the Red Sox touched you. 
 

Kade is going to step up and the Cubs are going to sweep

[Banedon]

Weather seems like it'll be a factor today.  Will be interesting to see how they squeeze this in.

Nope, they have Boyd going Monday to set him up to face the Brewers later

Can’t say I’m optimistic about this one. I hope Busch is in the lineup at least. I have a strong feeling it’ll be Turner.

My weather app is showing 15% chance of rain at Wrigley all afternoon. No real issues that I see.

I think he will go Tuesday if they want him to face the Brewers after that one.

In the normal rotation it would've been.  They waited to announce a starter and I'm guessing it was for a few reasons.  Do you need Boyd as a stopper?  No.  Is the weather going to let him get an uninterrupted started?  Unlikely.  If you hold Boyd back a couple of games will he be lined up for the Milwaukee series?  Yes.

The brewers have the 3rd best record in baseball because of course they do

What are you seeing that makes you think there will be an issue playing this game without interruption? I see overcast with a 15% chance of rain. So not that likely.

I hope the Brewers 19-10 record vs lefty starters isn’t a problem for Boyd.

They will get the game in but it might be a sloppy mess with a delay at some point 

[Wilson A2000]

Who had Palencia, Brasier, Thielbar, Flexen, and Pomeranz with just 19 earned runs and a combined ERA under 2? Outside of Pressly’s one bad outing where they needed innings and Counsell left him out there, he has a 1.20 ERA. He’s only given up earned runs in 4 appearances out of 39. Two were in March and one was the blowup game.

Right, and that makes me glad that it's not gonna be Boyd.  Don't want him to get a couple innings in and have to sit through a delay.  Could help us against Crochet though.

I just saw on another Cubs fan board that Brown will make a start tomorrow although I don't know why. (Sharma of the Athletic is reporting it)

Why not? Who else are they going to start?

I thought it was Boyd's turn...heck I don't know, the all star break has me all turned around as to the current rotation
