IST: Cubs @ Astros

[CSF77]

It doesn't say that, either.



This is silly. He's not coming off a major injury. He needs a week in AAA to get his timing back.

Quote here:

Teammates and manager Joe Maddon are among those lamenting the respected Zobrist’s absence, as detailed in Wittenmyer’s piece. Asked if Zobrist won’t come back in 2019, Maddon admitted, “I have to think that way, absolutely,” adding the Cubs must “mentally be prepared” that his season is over. Even if Zobrist does return, Maddon noted that “it’s going to take him a while to get back up to speed.”

Dude this is strait from Joe.

But he takes pitches and walks...?

OMG.....

I was honestly thinking,,,

Russell 2B (.365 OBA)
Bryant 3B
Rizzo 1B
Baez SS
Contreras C
Caratini LF (not enough data)
Almora CF (last 2 swap depending on if Caratini is hitting L or R.)
Heyward RF


I was looking over the lead off issue and Russell really is doing a nice job ATM and they can also swap in Bote and Descalso depending on who is hot ATM. But all 3 have a decent walk rate this year.

Baez still hurting from the heel. Running all kinds of awkward

 

[CSF77]

And then Schwarber just did that.

 

[zack54attack]

Schwarber!

 

[chibears55]

That pretty much how I pictured you..
Thanks for sharing

Welcome back KB

 

[DrGonzo]

Looks like KB is ok.

 

[CSF77]

And Wade proves that you don't need to throw a strike to Almora.

 

[SilenceS]

I hope the child is ok. Terrible looks on the players faces

 

[chibears55]

And Wade proves that you don't need to throw a strike to Almora.

Seriously???
Last thing Almora thinking about there is hitting a baseball

 

[SilenceS]

Bote with a smart play. Beautiful

 

[zack54attack]

Just saw the Almora play. Man. that's tough. Hope that kid is okay.

 

[CSF77]

Didn't see it got a link?

 

[CSF77]

Just saw it. Ouch.

Well Almora has a good heart for sure. But realistically if you take your kid to a ball game you need to be aware of that. Every pitch matters when you are in a box seat.

 

[SilenceS]

Willy guessing and looks at strike 3. Ump screwed Rizzo on 3-1

I had a post deleted.

Big time game from Hendricks tonight......

 

[JimJohnson]

So what do we do here in the 9th? Send Kyle out to finish or risk our pen blowing another one?
