I understand some trades are happening?  Yet, crickets from Jed that's about right.

Maybe if theres anything there, they have to wait til after the games to announce. 

Is that a thing, I thought it was before

No one who's reportedly been on the Cubs' radar, so I can't complain.

I'll be ready to complain if we see guys like Gore and Ryan moved elsewhere, though.

OK Tuck, would be great to get an OF fly at the very least here.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Will they walk Tucker to face Seiya

[Hortonhearsawho]

That's as good as a bunt I'll take that from Busch. 

[chibears55]

Busch with a productive AB, moved runners up

[We Got The Whole 9]

Much needed XBH from Tucker 

[Hortonhearsawho]

Tucker with a big game love it!

[Chicago Al]

Clutch, needed that.

[chibears55]

There we go, that the Tucker we need

Pour it on boys

[Derwood]

Tucker don't care about no lefty relievers

I don't think so, thats the whole idea behind #Hugwatch and players being pulled mid-game.  You might be mixing it up with there being a moratorium on trades announced during the World Series maybe?

Once again, I hate that a team can bring in a lefty later in the game to neutralize the top of the Cubs order somewhat.

Make me look stupid Busch, Tucker and PCA

I'm loathe to overreact to sample sizes (or really worry too much about lineup construction), but the current versions of Tucker and Hoerner have me thinking that putting them 1-2 (then Busch, Seiya, PCA, Happ, Dansby, Kelly/Amaya, Shaw) would maybe solve this problem, whatever magnitude it is. 

[Outshined_One]

Come on Seiya, turn this into a laugher.

[Jason Ross]

This would be a cathartic win. Crush the Brewers, head into the TDL and we can all start fresh and invigorated on Friday with a few new additions.

[Derwood]

Seiya at least taking walks today

Yea maybe it was the WS thing I was thinking of

Yes I like the sound of that.

[gflore34]

Be nice to scratch a few more across here.

[JHBulls]

So frustrating not to score more runs. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Seems like Kelly has had a lot of pop-ups lately. 

 

Big bugaboo not adding on there.

[gflore34]

But of course not, horsefeathers Brewer hits that and it finds a hole clearing the bases.

[Geographyhater8888]

Keller?

[Hortonhearsawho]

At least Amaya will be back soon Carson needs some days off for sure.

Ah, yes, the guy who's traded for the biggest bat moved the last 2 deadlines.  You guys are idiots.
