  2. Strop gave up a couple grounders that literally every guy who can play 2B on this team except Happ probably gets to. Hard time blaming him too much. Bote's error swung the game. Don’t forget another HBP.
  3. Strop has been a dumpster fire this season. If he does his job, Harper never bats. And Holland does need to come into the game.
  4. That sentence is not specifically about Almora, but about the dead weight in general. The bench has been trash all season. Joe doesn’t have a 25 man roster. He can’t keep trotting our the same 8 position players everyday. Because, less face it, a couple of those guys aren’t everyday players. "I'd play Almora everyday until he gets better" Umm, conveniently left out a word.
  5. What? At some point you almost have to use them? That's not been the issue with Almora. He's been used early and often.

  6. I don’t blame Joe at all. In fact, I applaud him. There’s been a fair amount of dead weight on the bench and in the bullpen all season. At some point, you almost have to use them. I’d play Almora everyday until he gets better (doubtful) or until his stats become even more comical than they already are. Joe doesn’t build the bench. Joe doesn’t build the bullpen. Joe doesn’t build the roster.
  7. Now if the would just stop the inane “cross town classic”, except every three year cycle, that would be great.
  8. Explain the whole Baez thing again, please.
  9. I love these "my dick is bigger than yours" arguments.
  10. Heard Happ was unaccounted for last night after the game for a few hours.
  11. At least Javy seems to have a more controlled swing batting left handed.
  12. Oh, I’m sure the Bucs will put it together for a series or two.
  13. And the Cubs pick up 2 1/2 games since Thursday!
  14. Heard his drawers look like a Jackson Pollock piece.
  15. Javy has a ways to go to get into Ryno territory.
  16. My guess is Joe has Bert in because he's had a couple of hits off Gio in 5 ABs. He's also taken a couple of walks.
  17. So Oscar De La Cruz was DFA. How is that the same or different than if a MLBer is DFA? Any shot he remains with the Cubs or is it basically over?
  18. The.....wheels on the bus are coming off, coming, off, coming off.
  19. A sawbuck. Man if you’re gonna take the bet after the outcome, at least ask for more than that. I’m a conservative bettor.
  20. ......so he’ll fit right in on the Cubs bench.
