Too many poll choices match my thoughts. I will abstain.

 

[Captain Obvious]

Might be going Wednesday, we'll see.

 

[CSF77]

Wada vs Flande. I'll give the game 1 edge to the Cubs. Rutledge at SS.... ya.

Line up:
Bonifacio 3B Interesting
Alcantara 2B
Rizzo 1B
Castro SS
Ruggiano RF
Coghlan LF
Lake CF
Baker C
Wada P

Bonifacio is platooning Valbuena essentially. Not terribly exciting move in my opinion.

I will start doing real choices again if someone really cares, but I find it hard to make a poll about major league wins in 2014 at this point with a straight face.

 

[CSF77]

Wada looking like he normally does. Looks like him not being able to loosen up last game was pretty legit.

They are going 4 LH in a row with Ryu starting the series with LA.

 

[Captain Obvious]

Wada coming out for the 8th!

I read that this will be Lake chance to turn things around for himself as he will play in all 4 of those games

 

[Captain Obvious]

Wada coming out for the 8th!

Apparently not? Saw him on TV, but don't have the volume on. Russell makes me cringe these days.

 

[CSF77]

Wada's line: 7 IP 5 hits 1 BB 1 ER 6 SO. 97 pitches 61 for strikes.

Nice bounce back.

On Lake: 0-2 no SO's. Well it is a start at least. No BB so not getting too slap happy.

One of those 5 hits was a fly ball to CF that Lake lost in the light, and another was a ground ball to Boniafacio, who, like Valbuena, couldn't field it without both hands going to the ground, and he then double clutched the throw and the batter tied it.

We won. SHIT

Can't wait for Bryant to be on 3B. F-the turd fest.

Shit happens!

I doubt he'll be at 3rd for long. I think he'll eventually be relegated to LF.

You would be one of the few at this point who think that.

That I am. But Soler is going to be in RF before or when Bryant comes up. So that leaves him 1B, 3B, or LF. Obviously 1st is taken by Rizzo. With Castro, Baez, and Russell in the mix, one of them will end up at 3rd, unless one of them is traded. LF just seems most likely.

Until the Cubs move Bryant to LF in Iowa 3B is the most likely landing spot for Bryant.
