Drew Smyly is this team's best reliever. -
Yikes.
-
Neris is supposed to be good, right? Because I haven't seen anything that makes me think he is a reliable late inning reliever.
-
If you listened to Crane Kenney last week on The Score, I'm not sure he has any other option.
-
They do usually solidify the pen over the course of the season, but this cycle of reliever roulette at the beginning of every season is extremely frustrating.
-
Which combination of 3 remaining bullpen arms can get through the next 3 innings unscathed? None of them? That's right. The Cubs better add on.
-
Does Cuas have options? If so, I think it's time to figure things out in Iowa.
-
At least 1 more rehab start, and I wouldn't be surprised if it is more than that. There's no reason to rush him back right now.

Sutcliffe did fill in for most West Coast games last season. But I always assumed that was more about JD's travel/schedule demands and not the Cubs unwillingness to send their full broadcast team on the road. On a related note, I was watching a Giants broadcast last week and they had their primary play by play guy live in the booth and the color commentator was remote. I think it was likely health-related, but I thought that made for an interesting broadcast dynamic. I can't go 10 seconds without accidentally talking over someone on a conference call.

Who isn't there tonight?
-
Thank you for the insane non-send to help the Cubs get out of that inning without giving up a run.
-
Pirates gonna Pirate. Just when you think they might be for real, they will lose 12 of 14 and bury themselves in the standings.

I'm not an EST person, but I have always loved West Coast games. As a kid, it usually meant my parents were in bed and I could watch the game in peace. As an adult, it usually means my wife and kids are in bed and I can relax and watch the game in peace. Everything between 6-9pm is usually occupied with the kids in one way or another, so West Coast games are a good opportunity to sit back and watch a game when all the day's responsibilities have been finished.

Who had a 3 inning save for Palencia on their Bingo card?
-
Palencia eating 2 innings here was nice.
-
Honestly, then change the rule. If you are going to play a game in potentially unsafe conditions because of the score, then maybe MLB should think about what is causing them to consider that. Simply resume the game where it left off and this is a non-issue.
-
AccuWeather does not appear to share that confidence.
-
We already know how that turns out.
-
Completely anecdotal with nothing to back it up, but it feels like MLB has been waiting longer to get games in. That may be related to the way the schedule is now where teams don't play each other as often, which makes the logistics of make-up games a potential nightmare.
-
I think it's more a concern of the amount of water the field has already taken on. The rain will stop, but can the field be made playable?
-
There were two rule changes I severely opposed. They were the DH and the extra innings baserunner. I have largely accepted the DH with a shrug and it really doesn't impact my enjoyment of the game one way or another. Extra innings, on the other hand, is still an abomination that I will be telling my grandkids about in 30 years.
-
I don't know if any Cubs team has ever looked forward to an extended West Coast trip as much as the upcoming trip.
-
Sucks that Imanaga was so efficient and will likely have to be pulled after 4 innings now.
-
I was thinking the same thing. I don't recall seeing anything like this before with the players still on the field.
-
Didn't they change the rule a few years back where the game just picks up where it left off instead of starting over from scratch?
