Brewers won't go away and the Pirates relievers won't let them go away. -
And they have to burn Vazquez in a game they shouldn't have needed to.
-
Been nice knowing ya' Ding Dong! See ya' sometime in September for your next thread start. You got hosed!
-
Maybe you take your chances with Monty on Friday to see how much pen they need. After the game, they make a roster move/Iowa shuttle to bring back a reliever for Saturday. Couple that with an addition pitcher for the two Saturday games (26th man) and there should be plenty of arms available. Have Lester start Game 1 on Saturday. If he can give you a decent start, there should be plenty of arms for the DH. I think the bigger problem will be Sunday. They'll either have to start Chatsuck or a AAA. And that probably means a short outing, thus taxing the BP.
-
Correct. Good! Allows Joe to set up rotation the way he wants for the 5 game set against the Cards.
-
-
Lester slated to pitch Sunday per Cubs.com. Guess that means he can't pitch in the ASG, right?
-
Jesus Christ; the Cubs haven't even hit 100 horsefeathering dongs. Nothing wrong with their hitting. Move along.
-
Yep. Carl coming off an arm injury is probably a no go. My guess is Morrow one more maybe. Then Norwood. And if it makes it (gulp) Chatsuck until he walks in the winner.
-
Maybe it will un-screw up Javy’s swing.

"Time makes fools of us all" - The Kyle Schwarber Thread
PackLandVA replied to Sammy Sofa's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Saw this article earlier today about Schwarber's defense. Also makes reference to Harper's defense this year, or lack of. Link to Cubs.com Article So I don't really kow what to make of his defense. Thoughts?? -
And just as I post, Soon-to-be All-Star Aguillar strikes out, an IBB to Shaw and a double play by Miller. C'mon Florida. The VBs want you to win.
-
And the Cain/Yelich combo lead off the top of the tenth with a walk and a hit. VB have 2nd and 3rd and nobody out in a tie ballgame.
-
Probably depends on the opponent and who's hot. But yeah if our guys don't get it together any potential playoff run by us will look like last year's Yankees and 2016's Indians. Bullpen early and often. I hate this trend. Maddon is going to be quick-hooking pitchers left and right this post-season and it's going to drive me crazy Not if the starting pitchers get their sh!t together and the offense hits hits like it's capable.
-
Q? Then the relievers you mention.
-
And the Brew Crew come right back and tie it with two outs in the 8th.
-
F the Yankees!!!

Any teams they could trade him for salary dumps? He still has almost $50 million over the next 3 years, so it would be tough for the Cards to swallow. And also tough for another team to take on. Would the DBacks take a flyer on him in order to get rid of Yasmany Tomas' contract? Wouldn't he be the type of player the Cards think they could resurrect? The money isn't equal, but YT is quite a bit younger and maybe seen as having potential. What about Samardzija? He's due about $40+ million over the next two years. Or maybe Melancon? I don't think any of these players really help the Cards, and Dex probably doesn't help the other teams. But like many have stated, I'd like to see Dex go to a team where he's appreciated. +++++++++++++++ On a side note, not that it would ever happen. But if the Cards were willing to take Heyward back with his current contract if the Cubs took Dex back with his current contract, who says no first? Would anyone on this board make that trade?

That guy has whole chickens on his fists! THAT'S CRAZY!!! http://media.vanityfair.com/photos/5822416e111bb9951d299bc5/master/w_768,c_limit/Brian%20Fellow_final.jpg

Justine Wilson of 2017 seems to have gone back (at least modestly) to 2018 Justin Wilson. Maybe there's hope for Chatsuck.
-
Someone send it to Len. If he or JD don't know, maybe they'll send it to that rules guy they were talking about yesterday or Saturday.
-
Isn’t most of their success this year based on timely hitting, production from players well over their careeer numbers, solid starting pitching, a really good bullpen, and a bunch of 1-run victories?
-
What about Trent Giambrone? He’s getting love in the Minor League Musings forum. Bote 2.0
-
Done!

Wonderful. West coast games. The first of at least three that I will refuse to stay up and watch. I'd imagine Raisin is happy, though. Some rookie left-hander I've never heard of is going for the Giants. He's was great in June (2.62 ERA) and followed it up with 7 innings and only 1 run AT Colorado. But the Cubs are historically great against rookie pitchers they've never faced, right? Or was that some other team? The inconsistent Cubs, meanwhile, send out their very own Kyle HRendricks. The Giants have had trouble scoring runs, but they've gotta be happy with who they're facing in this game. Somehow, HRendricks starts this year have reminded me a lot of this movie: http://santmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Simmons-Teller.png At least they don't have to face MadBum this series. Have fun in the game thread. I'll be checking the final of this one on Tuesday morning.
