visceral reaction is that I'm pretty pissed at Chapman right now -
That Javy at bat is a great reminder of why Coghlan started (and got on base twice) tonight
-
at least, talk about a best case outcome
-
so Javy enters now so Chapman can slot in for Coghlan, right? Mayyybe Soler instead?

I for one am very ready for Ross to drive in the go ahead run
-
I think Montgomery is the failsafe if it goes extras, he and Chapman are the only other 2 available relievers. If Smith got Holliday I bet Joe would've let him pitch around Moss and attack the RH after, but since Smith is bad today he has to try to preserve the tie with Grimm.
-
In a tie game with Edwards and Rondon unavailable, I think you have to stick with Smith. If he throws anything near the plate to Moss imma be upset though.
-
one of these days Siegrist is going to get so sick of giving up home runs to Rizzo that he's gonna retire on the spot stay tuned to see if that night is tonight
-
maybe worth the aggravation to set an MLB record for face-tags in an inning
-
I get going lefty when Garcia and Carpenter are 2 of the 4 due up, but maybe Montgomery should get one of those shots in the near future
-
There's one other and I can't remember who he is Nick Ahmed EDIT: nevermind not this year, looks like we solved that particular mystery
-
I had to honestly stop and think if Montgomery was still on the roster
-
also let's get the disappointment out of the way, Edwards is almost certainly not pitching today
-
Hot night, Lester at 91 pitches, 7-8-9 due up for the Cards, and a chance to step on their throat with an XBH. I get it.

/dead from mirth

Why is Chris recoiling from pitches on the outer half
-
Yes, Piscotty is not throwing him out at 2nd from the wall, making 2nd is basically a layup.
-
It took the ball hitting the underside of the basket to not be either a flyout or a HR. Tagging is the percentage play there, and makes a big difference considering the gap in man on 1st, 2 out, and man on 2nd, 2 out. Or With the pitcher due up, and a notoriously bad hitting one at that, he coould've just stayed halfway and waited for the result instead of assuming a ball that was still being tracked at the warning track would be caught. I'd chance a 1-1 tie over 2 outs and a runner on 2nd with the pitcher up 11 times out of 10 Again, if you're tracking that fly ball, you're very certain it's caught or a HR, it was hit straight in the air and Piscotty was right under it. I don't want Coghlan gambling on the 1 in 20(1 in 50) chance that it happens to catch the basket AND bounds away from Piscotty so that Coghlan has the chance to get 3 bases if he doesn't tag.
-
Seriously. That's some of the worst base running I've seen all year It took the ball hitting the underside of the basket to not be either a flyout or a HR. Tagging is the percentage play there, and makes a big difference considering the gap in man on 1st, 2 out, and man on 2nd, 2 out.
-
Really great slide from Coghlan Really wish he didn't need it but I get that he was gonna tag given the arc of that fly ball
-
Bryant double clutched that one and almost threw it away
-
5 pitches per PA is a ton for a full trip through the order, wouldn't be surprised to see the 3rd time thru the order penalty bumped up to 2nd as a result.
-
Bryant has done a nice job of removing the double clutch from this throws.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 8-10-16
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I imagine they'll add a LH OF if they don't bring back Fowler, could be a CF or a corner OF depending on how they feel about Heyward in CF. That gives a lot of flexibility to mix and match to shield Baez, Almora, the LH OF, even Schwarber.
