Between the Rizzo check swing and Heyward just now, these corner umps are brutal. I know they want to go home but then maybe don't pull that nonsense on Candelario's turn.

At least for myself, anything short of winning the World Series this year is a failed season, and I can't see how they pull it off without Bryant AND Schwarber. I'm not watching the game but I assumed since he finished the inning and came off the field somewhat fine, it was a pre-cautionary pull and he'll be day to day at worst. Geez, I hope you realize how poor their chances are they will win the World Series.

That's just a silly call to see an ump make.

Bryant's got to cede to the centerfielder and Almora was calling for it pretty clearly. Hope he's okay and this was only precautionary.

Clayton is getting stretched out while on the rehab trail: [tweet] [/tweet]

Rain delay after the first. Fedde also left the game after one.

They followed you to Mexico. Their stunt doubles seem to not be great. Last year, I went out of town for my anniversary during the Phillies series/Cole Hamels no-hitter. It was awesome to miss the lowpoint of the season.

Bulging disc, per Jason Stark. Doesn't heal with rest

Apparently this AZL game was pretty entertaining:

Yeah, today didn't actually work out too badly all things considered. Patton is lousy and will be sent down since he threw 80 pitches, Peralta's career should basically be over, and Montero is our worst position player and he threw some pitches. Basically anybody in the bullpen who matters at all got the day off. Not bad for a game in which your starter can't even make it out of the second inning. I've really been pulling for Pena, but he's struggled quite a bit recently. 11 ER in his last 10.2 innings up until yesterday, where he threw 2 scoreless, at least. Well, Clayton Richard (though he's starting today on rehab in Iowa) or RJ Alvarez are a couple of other possibilities since they're already on the 40-man.

Logically speaking, they're going to have to send Patton down and DFA Peralta after today to get the bullpen help tomorrow. It hasn't been ten days so they can't call up Concepción unless there's an injury. Guess Nathan and Peña are options.

Jeimer!!!

Syndergaard hurt himself on that slide.

Do you mean today's game or the one where he was crying all over the field?

Candelario provides some positional versatility by being able to play first and third. Since neither Rizzo or Vogelbach can play anywhere besides first, Vogelbach would get minimal playing in the bigs. It's strange but the Cubs appear more interested in winning games than showcasing prospects.

UMFan was right: [tweet] [/tweet]

He's become a real prospect and is already a solid trade piece. Yeah, he's probably a borderline top 100 prospect now.

Something seems fishy. He's been out what 2.5 weeks? And has been on a rehab assignment since last Monday? A week of rehab after 10 days off? Plus he didn't play in Iowas game yesterday. I'm guessing he had a setback but I guess a trade is a possibility however strange it seems. Yesterday was supposedly a scheduled "rest" day. I've never seen that with position player rehabs. They should trade him straight up for Arodys Vizcaino.
