    Fair enough, but if La Stella is barely going to play (which we all know he might get an at bat or two if he's lucky), then they might as well take the guy who will fire up the team and the fans even more than they already are. Plus there's a better chance Schwarber does something significant than Seal boy. eh, I dont think LeStella is a quitter. I think he just didnt want to get sent down because he knew where we were headed. But in the end, he just isnt good enough He refused an assignment from his employer and went home to New Jersey. In my book, that's quitting.

    Well so long as the decision is being made for objective reasons Fair enough, but if La Stella is barely going to play (which we all know he might get an at bat or two if he's lucky), then they might as well take the guy who will fire up the team and the fans even more than they already are. Plus there's a better chance Schwarber does something significant than Seal boy.

    All the Cub beat writers I'm reading and hearing this morning seem to think this is happening. Phil Rodgers was just on MLB network and stopped short of confirming this, only saying it makes perfect sense. Schwarbs is from Ohio and in his limited time playing in Cleveland and Cincy he has great numbers playing in his home state in front of family and friends. He said essentially the Cubs aren't planning on keeping Rob Z on the roster so it comes down to Schwarbs or Seal Boy. Do we want a quitter or one of the most popular players in recent memory? Schwarbs wins by a landslide.

    Duke, I must say your posts as of late have been extremely positive, unwavering, and borderline fanatical. That being said you've been right on the money recently with your awesomeness. Keep up the good work! :hello:

    I think Theo, Jed, and Joe all want this to happen, but there's that little voice that says to them, "what if he re-injures himself?", which could sway it against. Their best LH DH proposition is Coglhan. I'd take my chances with Kyle over Chris and let it play out at least for the first two in Cleveland. Coglan would still make the roster for sure, so Kyle would take Rob Z's spot, whom didn't even throw a pitch in the NLCS. If Kyle struggles, you insert Soler or Coglhan in the DH. It's worth the gamble IMO.

    There's quite the "bench Heyward" montra flowing through the internet today. I hope Joe is thinking the same. For some reason I like the idea of Ross catching, Willy in LF, and Zobrist in RF. Ross is such a great leader and on this stage that could be crucial in keeping the boys focused. I suppose you could have Willy catch, Soler in RF/LF, or even start Almora, but Soler has shown nothing and Almora shouldn't start in such a big game. Just my two cents.

    JAVY! You magnificent beast!
  8. mikeyt34
    More please.
  9. mikeyt34
    YESSSSSSS!!!
  10. mikeyt34
    1 more run here would be huge.
  11. mikeyt34
    He's out. Either way, great play by Javy.
  12. mikeyt34
    JH grinding. Come on dude.
  13. mikeyt34
    Here comes the K. Prove me wrong JH.
  14. mikeyt34
    Why is Heyward hitting here? Almora? Contreras? Soler?
  15. mikeyt34
    Get Contreras ready to PH for Heyward?
  16. mikeyt34
    The way Lester looked in the dugout, looks like a man ready pitch in the 7th. Let's score 5 runs so he doesn't have to.
  17. mikeyt34
    This. But depending on who is due up. If it's a lefty, leave him in.
  18. mikeyt34
    Lester you big stud. Leave him out there for 1 more inning Joe.
  19. mikeyt34
    Addy's HR was huge in two ways. Joe was seriously considering PH for Lester. I want Lester for at least two more innings.
  20. mikeyt34
    Dammit
  21. mikeyt34
    Why? Bad credit? leash... oops.
  22. mikeyt34
    Maeda is going to have a SHORT lease...
  23. mikeyt34
    Could the eventual MVP of the NLCS be Matt Szczur's bat?
  24. mikeyt34
    Listening to that Addy HR it sounded like they were at Wrigley. Cub fans making some noise in LA.
  25. mikeyt34
    Do they even have to declare him anything per MLB rules? I don't think it's too serious, plus if they decide to replace him on the roster, he wouldn't be elligible for the next series as well. Basically it's going to have to be something pretty serious for them to even consider replacing him.
