So will he be available for Game 2 tomorrow. Cubs could use a fresh arm.

It's close, but I definitely think he went around.

Tryptamine wrote:Apparently the Cubs are in on Jeurys Familia. I wonder if a Wheeler+Familia package is feasible without touching the MLB squad.

I wonder if Morrow's arm actually fell off instead of just bicep tendinitis.

I wonder if Chatwood and Montgomery going the same day indicates that Chatwood is about to lose his spot in in the rotation, or if it's purely because they want those two pitching on a day where they have an extra bullpen arm available. I'd imagine Chatwalk starts game 1 of the DH. He'll get knocke...

I'm very confused.

Maybe other fans realized during game and we’re giving his family a hard time.

Close, but incorrect.

They should shoot off fireworks after each HR in the Derby.

John Schnatter have any managing experience?

Now that the Cubs are back in first place, I think this is the thread that should be used to discuss the VBs (instead of the "Teams that will not win the WS" thread.

Marte HRs in the first and the VBs are already down.

I really don't care who the Cubs face beat in the World Series.

Smart move with the AS break coming. Won't even miss a start.

Some baseball jerseys have the players' names on the back. All baseball jerseys have numbers on the back.

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 Le...

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?

Maybe it will un-screw up Javy’s swing.

Looks a liottle like Andy MacPhail in the forefront, no?

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 Quickly, what do those numbers say? Well, Baseball Reference ranks Schwarber five runs above average. John Dewan, who has been studying defense forever, ...

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 t...

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.
