Zach Zaidman fills in for the fifth inning.

Why don't Butler and Montgomery count? Do you think other teams have extra rotation guys stockpiled and ready to replace top or middle-of-rotation starters without missing a beat? Montgomery and Butler are serviceable replacement 5th starters, and that is really all they need to be.

This is unrelated to your comment on his personal appearance, but the more I listen to him on the radio the more he feels like Ron Santo. Maybe a little more with it, and a little less of an unabashed homer with his heart on his sleeve, but definitely get the same overall vibe from him. I have grown to like him more over the years. He isn't the best color guy around, but we could do a lot worse. -
I just saw a shot of Coomer in the booth. He has always been big, but geeze!

How in the hell does Arenado win Gold Glove awards?

LaStella and Almora should race.

Can we please send Happ down already?

reminds me of when Dusty used to keep players at the same spot in the batting order when they replaced a normal starter. Like Trinidad Hubbard batting 3rd when Sammy went on the DL Are you suggesting Trinidad Hubbard wasn't a legitimate 3 hitter??? Poppycock!

So many empty seats behind home plate...

Ball 5 to Schwarber. Let's see if he can take Ball 6. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Why not? Maybe not for Norris, but he had a fresh bullpen with the day off yesterday. Could have thrown Bowman, Brebbia, Gregorson to get past him. Was already the bottom of the 8th and they were obviously set on Norris going 1+ innings to close it out. Fair enough. I guess I didn't think they had anyone else ready at that point. But regardless, do you think that Heyward vs a lefty is a better option than Almora vs a right? Almora would have hit against the lefty, since the pitcher was just brought in to face Heyward and had to remain in the game to face one batter. So it would have been Almora and La Stella, both against a lefty, instead of Heyward against a lefty and La Stella against a righty. I'll take Option 1. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Since his 1st AB of this game. I didn't see that one, so I'm off the hook! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

That was the hardest hit ball to the opposite direction that I can recall Heyward hitting in a long, long time. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I can't believe we're losing to Eddie freaking Harris. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

We will never know, but I'm curious what Happ's value was in the off-season and whether he could have netted a young back of rotation starter or high upside reliever. I really felt he was the guy who should have been traded to clear the outfield logjam. Right now, he shouldn't be playing over Almora. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Wrigley Renovations and Related Wrigleyville Stuff
Irrelevant Dude replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
What is the deal with the "smaller seats" that have supposedly been added down the right and left field lines? Does anyone know which rows/sections were affected by this so that I can avoid them at all costs? http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-spt-cubs-wrigley-changes-sullivan-20180410-story.html -

Ok, this is seriously the worst strike zone I have seen all year. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Awful umpiring Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Very small sample size tells me strike zones have been as awful as ever. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

The Cubs probably won't be involved in more than a couple of these, though, and it's not like you have to pay for them, so I guess it's fine. This is stupid. I assume it is only going to be "streaming exclusive", meaning we can still see the affected Cubs games on WGN, WLS, NBCSports (especially since the broadcast schedule has already been announced), but I still hate it. As an MLB.tv subscriber, I expect to be able to watch all the out-of-market games through MLB.tv. Would I really watch one of these mid-week afternoon games, maybe not, but knowing that I can't is annoying. And I don't want anything to do with Facebook.

The tank is definitely on. The 10 teams with the current worst records all lost their last game. Of those 10 teams, there is an 8 game losing streak and three 7 game losing streaks. I certainly understand their motivation, but this can't be good for the league as a whole.

The tribe or the sports program? You win.

That sounds right. I know a new line of officially licensed Chief Illiniwek gear pops up from time to time for that same reason.
