Wondering if Alcantara keeps struggling and Russell keeps hitting how long b4 they make that switch. ..

Anyone know when Baez suppose to return to Iowa

Alcantara is hitless on the season. But on Saturday, he walked twice on 4 PA's, and scored both times. On Sunday, he reached on an error, stole second, and scored on a single. I just think the kid makes things happen more than some others. Even without a hit yet, he makes plays.

Walks are great but sooner or later he gotta start hitting too..

Doubt they make a switch. If they did it would presumably be for Baez. Also, I think they're willing to give alcantara a long leash considering he's walking at a decent rate. I've said it else where but they really just aren't throwing him much to hit. Not entirely sure how you go about changing that without moving him in the line up. Clearly they aren't afraid to walk him presently.

I actually want to see some more from Mendy at the plate. Right now he's showing the utility guy, imo.

Someone mentioned earlier that Olt was out as a precaution. What happened to him?

What nobody answers? Of course not he's not a reguler. Jorge hit a 2 run jack to tie it up.
A little premature, but the Cubs are playing like a competent MLB team right now.

He was beaned in the wrist. At 1st it looked very bad, but he actually was able to pinch hit yesterday.
