Kyle keeps the ball down. Baez will pay off

Rizzo a late scratch with lower back tightness. Caratini starts at first.
David dejesus kept saying it was a healthy scratch, just to give him a day off or two to shake his slump...

Hopefully it isn't long. I just watched Caratini bat, and it was as bad an B as I can recall.

Very late swinging a number of times. Tipped a ball late to stay alive, then swung very late at ball four. Finally dribbled one to the mound. Looked like he had never seen a baseball before. OK, that was only one AB, and this is overreaction (possibly). But WOW, he seriously looked like he had not held a bat before.

Make the routine plays, Javy!

We know they bore you. But make them!

Lester and Hendricks traded places second time through rotation...

Cubs hitters are taking a ton of pitches tonight but doing nothing..

Catch a break with a balk , Caratini then looks at strike 3 and Heyward promptly pops up to first.....

Caratini looked OK batting right handed, but in two AB's I have seen with him batting left, he is just way too slow with the swing.

Cubs blew this game in first 4 innings when they couldnt take advantage of SP throwing a shit load of pitches and only got 2 runs off him...

Agreed.

No way they should have had only two off that starter.

cubs still have the same problems with situational hitting. this wont be a popular opinion, but i think the cubs need to move bryant to RF and play la stella in the IF and play zobrist in LF more often. and probably more of almora in CF

More Maddon madness..

Rizzo out again today
No Russell
No Zobrist
No Almora

Happ back at leadoff
Schwarber back in 3 hole after 4 K game
Caratini back at 1B over Zobrist


Not expecting many runs with this lineup so theyll probably score 10..lol
