pretty sure Jon is in between Chavez and Hamels.... not that it matters because after his performance he could pull a Javy and scream "I do whatever the horsefeathers I want" at the whole clubhouse -
Reminder: those head-scratching decisions you speak of nearly cost the Cubs the World Series in Game 7 (letting Chapman pitch the 9th in Game 6, pulling Hendricks and bringing Lester in with a guy on, etc.)

The way too early, but I'm bored, Off-season Options Thread
Rex Buckingham replied to davell's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I would go: Edwards Happ Schwarber Monty Almora Bote I think Happ's versatility and years of control are pretty valuable, and Carl and Kyle have shown that their best is pretty dang good. Monty is a solid 5th starter/very good swing guy that a lower-tier team could see as a 3/4 type. Almora is a pretty good defender who can hit fastballs from lefties and average or worse righties. Bote is a versatile guy who plays good defense and has lots of control left, but has a long way to go with the bat and probably isn't someone you want to run out at SS, so he loses a little value as a utility IF type. -
Oh get off it Bud Black. Arenado wasn’t going to make a throw.
-
I feel like Zo’s ABs have been terrible since he singled.
-
Didn’t throw a strike the entire Schwarber AB
-
Fans want anything within a foot of the plate called a strike
-
Gore looks like they snuck a make a wish kid into the outfield
-
Hahaha, terrible camera angles have to be the only reason. I guess they couldn’t get a good look to overturn the awful call.
-
What a horrible call from the 2b ump. If Javy didn’t think he was out there’s no way he was out.
-
Perfect time for a Chili dong
-
Never mind, guess they wanted to show Willy some video or something.
-
Looked like they’re pulling Contreras. Schwarber?
-
Man, Lester has been great.
-
1. Javy does something amazing, either saving a run on defense or scoring one on offense when most people would have been out. 2. Contreras grounds out on a 3-1 or 2-0 pitch in a big moment.

1-5: Pick any order, I don't care 6: Yankees 7: Astros 8: Dodgers 9: The world ends/Trump declares baseball illegal/a series of sinkholes swallow every baseball stadium 10: Brewers
-
I’m still salty that MLB decides that they had to change the rules to set up a play in game. I think a 19-game sample is plenty to decide a division winner in the case of a tie.
-
Potential starters: Dodgers - guy who will give up hard hit balls right at guys but strike out enough Cubs to give up 1 run or less Rockies - see above Cubs - guy who will give up 4 bloop hits and walk guys at precisely the wrong time leading to 2 runs before the bullpen takes over and gives up a couple more leading to a 4-1 or 4-0 loss
-
Contreras just took one off the stones
-
Should Almora hit for Murphy?
-
Terrible ESPN production also made me forget that it was a double switch, as they never mentioned Happ coming in. I'm still not even sure who he came in for. Was is Schwarber?
-
love seeing Braun struggle
-
I'm cool with Chavez here
-
gotta get Cain here or the game really will be over
