Cards rolling out TBD two nights in a row? Bold move

[We Got The Whole 9]

I can't believe Caleb horsefeathers Durbin got a fg article before Pete. Honestly I thought they would do one for Pete for his rare 3-win month. He's only slightly come down in July but he's still likely to lead the league again and might post the 2nd highest month (at 1.8, Yordan pushed 2.1 in April) across the league. The level of dominance came go ignored.

They must have wanted to start Dobbins in this game but Liberatore forced them to use him last night

[squally1313]

McGreevey would be on normal (four day) rest but looks like they've been trying to give him additional days off between starts. 

We're going to see him at some point, and the ERA is hiding some ugly metrics (you need to strike out more guys than that), so might as well hope to get him today.

There was a graphic last night that said PCA has 5.3 WAR since 5/30 and second place among position players was 2.9. Close to double as good as any other position player over a 2-month stretch. That's obscene.

I was just checking Dansby's stats.  Since his BA hit the rock bottom (.175) on June 16th, he has the 3rd best fWAR (PCA, Valdez, then Dansby).  Very nice.

He sounds like this board when the Cubs started Tallion or Wicks.

Defense gets weak tonight for Rea..

Swanson out and Conforto in left, Happ DH.

Wouldn't it be better to let Happ play LF (with a DH) and let the pitcher hit?

Why is Swanson out?

Seems like they're taking turns for a day off.

He passed Happ up in average yesterday so they want him to cool off again so Happ not lowest on team in average 🤷😅😅

[Derwood]

Happ slashing .196/.305/.315 with 4 HR in his last 40 games. 

[Rcal10]

Happ is perfectly fine as a left handed bat. He is even a solid offensive player. His issues are when a lefty pitches. He just doesn’t have that down this year. 
.243/.367/.468 is very good. Those are his numbers batting left handed.

Must be pretty hot out there. McGreevy looks like he’s struggling. 

[chibears55]

Bregman and Happ big 2 out doubles,  need these 2 hitting 

[Derwood]

30 pitches for McGreevy, 10 for Rea

[UMFan83]

Damn 102.9mph 28 degree LA off PCAs bad ends up an out 

[mk49]

Seiya is hot again.

[chibears55]

Another good inning for the bats..

Good out by Ramirez moving the runners up,  Sac Fly, two 2 out RBI knocks. 

[JBears79]

I like this start

[Derwood]

It's unimaginable that this offense went so cold that they lost 10 in a row.
