  1. This just might not be the Giants' night.
  2. can't a trainer usually identify a broken bone in the hand right away? Didn't the Cubs keep saying that Olt was day-to-day until they finally discovered he had a broken bone in his hand?
  3. In hindsight, the Cubs really should have mobbed Strop at home plate and ignored Bryant.
  4. I was just about to say those fastballs to Coghlan and Rizzo looked extremely hittable. Bryant didn't miss his.
  5. That's kind of like asking to explain why a good home run hitter can't steal bases.
  6. His decision to not throw that ball also may be what limited the damage this inning. That was not an easy throw to make even for a good defensive pitcher.
  7. It was a ball that a pitcher would typically field, but it would have been a tough play and I would prefer that Lester just do what he did instead of throwing the ball down the right field line.
  8. I'm not exhaling yet. He could certainly stay in to run the bases and then leave for x-rays after this half of the inning.
  9. This isn't the answer to your question, but I don't think pushing the net at near ground level would cause much movement at popup height.
  10. This would be a really nice 2 day break for the high leverage bullpen guys.
  11. i wish they gave baez the call instead honestly. Not against Kluber. Let Baez get a few more days in Iowa and find a favorable match up for his return to the Cubs.
  12. No wonder La Stella hurts himself with swings like that.
  13. How is video game Coghlan different from real life outfielder Coghlan? You could say that he will be a below-average defender in Right Field, which is exactly what Soler has been all season.
  14. The good news for Motte is that when his shoulder is trashed he can still rely on his arsenal of off-speed pitches.
  15. I would have liked to see Baez in place of La Stella, but I guess it probably makes sense to break Baez in with some favorable matchups (not Kluber). He will be up in a week anyway.
