Or if any of the OFers need a day off or god forbid injuries, it opens up Suarez at DH and Shaw at 3B.  You can probably get him 3 starts a week still.

Yes, they could use Shaw in a bit of a Zobrist role to give guys much needed days off down the stretch.

I hope that is the plan

I think Seiya' going to crush one this inning hopefully it's in the air and Tucker is on base.

Feels like it's been quite some time since we saw the cubs grind pitchers down like that. Great to see!

so far so good

[UMFan83]

Why do they always do this to Seiya specifically?

[JHBulls]

What on earth has Seiya done to these umpires? They hate him. 

[BKHoo]

That was embarrassing ump. Two terrible calls for Seiya. 

[Derwood]

Seiya took 5 or 6 balls in that at bat

[BKHoo]

PCA swings at a ball …. Just a bit outside. 

[JHBulls]

Get Jon Berti up.

Edit: New rules makes this an impossibility.

[Derwood]

how the hell did that go out? He flipped it at low pitch

[UMFan83]

I was relaxed about this game until I saw Pressly in. Again I know his overall numbers are decent but he just doesn’t make me comfortable. 

and just like that a HR and a single

[Donzo]

Horton two statrs since the ASB:

[BKHoo]

Pressly will not be moving up to higher leverage use. 

[UMFan83]

W. Big with a bullpen game tomorrow

That was an incredible AB by Tauchman and I can’t believe that homer went out either

[BKHoo]

Cubs W! Brewers L! 

[UMFan83]

Cubs back in 1st. Thanks Miami

[Derwood]

I would gladly take Tauchman back if it meant jettisoning Brujan or Berti into the sun

[Donzo]

Don't know if Counsell's managing has anything to do with it, but Cubs rookies sure have played well after the ASB the last two season with Counsell.

[BigSlick]

Great job boys. Glad you could bounce back.

Yep, these are the only time I feel somewhat comfortable seeing Pressly pitch.

[gflore34]

Don't understand the Royals trade.  They must think a WC is within their reach?  Because as terrible the Tigers have been for, what, 3 weeks, the Royals are still 8 games behind them.  Tigers aren't going to flounder forever, they'll get back on track.  Actually, Grichuk wouldn't have been that bad of an add for the Cubs.

Nice one, Cubbos! 

[chibears55]

Good game today for Horton and a couple of Cubs hitters, need Happ to get going and great to see Shaw continue to look sharp.
