IST Pirates @ Cubs

Looks like La Stella re-injured himself today in a rehab stint

Cervelli killed us with 2 strikes friday. need to get him here

 

[DaBullsDaCubsDaHawksDitka]

Noice

For those of you in the trade all the things camp.

I'd take Syndergaard on the staff. It beats a trade for Hamels, imho.

Bryant's casualness doesn't hurt the Cubs that inning. Good job from Arrieta to not let it snowball

Tend to agree i'd rather him or someone younger like him.

 

[Parade_Rain]

Soler just held up on a low, away slider. Holy cow!

 

[Parade_Rain]

And then strikes out on one down and in. Bummer.

 

[beckdawg]

Damn..... McCutch has range.

 

[chibears55]

And he has a month to do that. I'm sure you're going to hear news about him going to extended spring training similar to LaStella in the next week or so.

He just got the cast taken off 3 days ago, so rehab is about 3 to 4 weeks which would put him mid june before he goes to wherever they send him to get ABs and get back into playing form..

Anybody have a best guess on when La Stella will be back? He’s only played 3 games so far on his rehab in AA. Next Cubs home stand maybe?

I heard Wednesday in SD

 

[beckdawg]

23-22.... maybe the cubs pitching isn't that bad after all....

That would be nice. Unfortunately he got taken out today after possibly re-injuring his rib cage.

Doubt the mets trade Syndergaard..

Wouldn't that be kinda like the cubs trading bryant

Why would he wait 3-4 weeks before seeing ABs? If the cast is off he's healthy enough presumably.

On the game cast they were talking about a game from 67 between the cubs and phillies that was 23-22 with a crap ton of hits.

They may not, but just like the Cubs getting another needed TOR, the Mets sorely lack hitters. It's going to cost both teams a top player and/or top prospects.

 

[DaBullsDaCubsDaHawksDitka]

It was 1979 actually but it was still a crazy ass game.

Rehab... physical therapy. ..

You dont just come out of a cast after surgery and pick up a bat.. he needs to strengthen, etc the wrist, arm , shoulder
Everything he hasnt used since the surgery. ..
