Bellinger to IL with Rib Fracture, PCA called up
PackLandVA replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Just spitballing here: he has discomfort and comes out of the game. X-rays are negative. Wakes up pretty sore on Wednesday morning. Cubs project he’s unavailable to bat (and thus play) for at least a few days. So they “find” a hairline fracture and IR him. This allows them to call up a player while Cody is unavailable for this stretch of 16 consecutive games. iIn the past, how many times have they played a week or so short-handed before putting a player on IR? So maybe, just maybe, the “hairline” is really tiny. #WishfulThinking -
Well, at least we had good Cody for a week.
-
Not this guy....... Nope, not this guy either..... Ummmm, not even close. YES! Yes, this guy versus Would you trust either to watch your young child??
-
Counsell to Adbert: No soup for you!
-
If he can’t be brought in to close in the 9th with a 4-run, err, 5-run lead, when can he be used.
-
HR to make it a 1-run game won’t be very surprising.
-
Does any Cub reliever want to seize the moment. Up 6-2, no reason tying run should see Theon deck circle. Throw strikes please.
-
Atlanta and Philly WON’T be losing any draft picks this week as the NFL will not conclude their investigations until after the draft. Linky-Link
-
When will Belly officially go on IR?
-
Not aging well after the Tauchman AB.
-
Watching, and I think the ump has been pretty consistent for both teams.
-
And then when the reliever comes in with men on, we complain that the reliever should’ve started with a fresh inning and/or Wicks was done after 6.. amirite
-
White Sox break out the lumber. Have scored 3, count ‘em, 3 runs thru six innings in Minnesota.
-
Feeling like 5 runs does not win this game.

Cha-Ching!!!!

Cha-Ching!!!!

This guy versus This guy Seriously?? Is this really baseball they're playing?
-
I wonder how the White Sox lineup would fair against 3-4 innings of the Cubs bullpen. Or April Hendricks. I wonder how the Cubs bullpen (or Hendricks) would fair against the White Sox lineup.
-
Unless Atlanta was given a heads up quite some time ago that they'd probably lose their 1st rounder this year, I think it would be a bit dubious to tell them days before the draft they forfeit their 1st. When the Dolphins forfeited their pick last year, they were notified 8 months before the draft. While I understand there're consequences to tampering, I just don't think it would be a fair punishment handed out in the day(s) leading up to the actual draft.
-
Because that would require Reinsdorf to continue to pay Grifol plus pay a new manager. And that seems like a very Un-Jerry thing to do.
-
Who's turn is it?

On a positive note, Hendricks had his "best" start of the season, statistically speaking.
