Hate to say it, but can Lester go on the restricted list also? Seem like a cool new thing.
Ahh, that was some poor defense by a wind gapper. Almora was terrible that inning

This is the team Epstein envisioned. So many bats they outscore the other team. Good pitching is only a perk.

Push buttoning a player seems like this cool thing. Davis would look good in CF. Seems like a wash right now with some ceiling vs DFA pending.

4th OF that can't play quality D. #sad

If that was a thing then Col would have dominated back in the 90's.

Cubs will be fine.

I dont know what Joe said after the terrible first half of an inning, but he fired up these guys in a way I did not recall him doing in his entire career.

................I mean, he had to right??????????????????????

Wow 2 errors from our all mighty catcher. Ya know I was thinking that they should sell high on him. Trade him to the AL and then swoop in and sign Grandal.

It was more so what would be a out of the box approach to the off season. Sign a SH catcher that frames excellent and have his back up also SH. That way they have that middle of the line up LH bat in place. Then lead off with Rizzo.

Balance would be

Rizzo/Grandal/Schwarber/Heyward
Baez/Bryant/Nico/and a CF or RF. Not really picky here.

Nothing serious but all the talk has been about trading Schwarber or Bryant or Baez. But Contreras also is a 2x all star with 3 years of control with your #2 too prospect in AA and your back up would start on some teams.

It is not this bad idea honest.

Cubs couldn't have looked worse in the top of the first....I turn it off....come back a couple of hours later and there's a gazillion runs on the board.

WTF

TL is 100% correct as always.

O is disfuntual with Rizzo leading off. Had nothing to do with injury or Chilli Davis teaching the kids bad habits.

Knowing this team they’ll struggle to score runs next 2 games. Hope they break that trend.
