I don't think that is too drastic. He needs at bats to get it figured out but how long can you keep him in the lineup at the major league level?

According to Iowa box score, Javy played 3rd base tonight. Is it a coincidence or could they be prepping him for call up to play there with Bryant moving to RF while Soler is out? Then again, they could use him at 2nd and move Coghlan to RF.

Coghlan's having a heck of a game.

Jorge hits the ball very hard. Way to go Starlin! Finally the Cubs break through.

What has Coghlan accomplished that keeps him in the lineup?

Minimize the damage Travis.

That was absolutely hilarious watching them leave the dugout area and Bryant go down the tunnel to find them.

Soler really needs to stop swinging at crappy pitches. Looks like he took that Vlad comparison to heart.

Russell's first dong!

Bryant delivers again.

Rizzo picks up Soler and keeps inning alive for Bryant. Is this the at bat for the first dong?

Nice two out rally. Have to love the approach by Cub hitters. Pitch count climbing rapidly this inning.

Very nice to see Russell get a big hit. Impressed also with the opposite field power he showed.

Good time for Russell's first big league home run.

^ This made me laugh ^ So regardless if the Reds score, Reds will go with Chapman in the 9th right? Should be fun with Rizzo, Bryant and Denorfia probably.
