The Dodgers, Pirates, Royals, Rangers, and Blue Jays are all in a similar boat. Which is also pretty incredible. Maybe all a team needs is 2 really good ones.
Can't think of a worst spot to send Schwarber. At least 60% of the time, Bryant is either going to K or walk there. Of the other 40%, most of that is homerun.
Assuming the Rockies continue to suck, 3.5 back of Pittsburgh going into that series with the Pirates, ugh. Jake will dominate them at PNC. Time to start envisioning that.
thankfully nobody in the cubs organization feels the same Since July 3rd, Hammel has gone 6 innings a grand total of twice, and both times he was spotted to huge leads. Don't act like its a ridiculous opinion to think Richard could have more success than that. Both he and Cahill have at least earned a shot. Now let's tie this mother up.
I do not believe Richard would be a "world beater." I believe there's a better chance he could give us 5 or 6 solid innings than running Hanmel out there time after time.
