PCA DH'ing again. Should we be concerned?

Yeah what’s the deal with that? Nobody has said anything about it? Nobody has asked Craig why he’s DH’ing? I’m guessing it’s a minor tweak. Probably nothing too serious.

Happ moved up to clean up, Counsell must feel his mini hot streak is about to happen 

😅

Yea, thought maybe it was a good opportunity to get him a couple days off in field to rest him cause KC outfield might be easier to play, but it actually one of the toughest and largest one to play.

They had no one who could take reps out in center field besides Dean until they traded for Taylor. He’s getting rest days that weren’t previously an option. I hope anyways.

 Nice to get Carson a break today with the off day tomorrow. Look for Ayers to get some starts in Sept.

[chibears55]

Will only be able to watch first couple innings today,  hopefully they can score a bunch early and win an easy one 

[chibears55]

Damn, I blinked and PCA already out and Busch is on second... 😅😅😅

[PeanutPunch33]

Bregman has been on it lately 

[BKHoo]

We need to make them pay for bad D.

[chibears55]

Got 1, needed a big hit with bases loaded

Better than 0.  Hopefully they put up a couple crooked numbers today.

Hes missed 1 game this season, never understood why they didn't bring up Long or Murray to give him some days off.

They could of just brought them up for a series or two a couple times

[chibears55]

Should of challenged the second strike if you were that sure

[UMFan83]

Non challenge on a clear ball costs the Cubs a leadoff baserunner smh

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

The no challenging of obvious balls is infuriating

He was definitely gun shy on that obvious ball four. Definitely frustrating because he steals second possibly or advances to third on Busch’s hit

Don't know if that sweeper/slider for a ball is "obvious" Yes, it was a ball, but it was coming back to the plate, so I don't know if it would have been obvious in PCA's POV.

[PeanutPunch33]

great start
