I honestly thought he would be back sooner, beast, but don't see him having the timing he needs. Would be amazed if he plays at all.

@CarrieMuskat: Theo liked Schwarber's at bats so far. #Cubs medical staff monitoring in AZ. No decision until Tuesday morning

Except that's not actual news, sweety pie.

You were making the case for him coming back, but you are an idiot

I would want him back regardless. Having a weapon like him that can change a game with 1 swing....

That said I would error on caution. I would keep Cog on the roster as a back up option. Just like they have Contreras to provide RH depth on his non catching days. All adding Schwarber is is adding depth.

If they do not add I believe it has more to do with him not passing the tests showing he is game ready. At that point you are looking at getting him 100% for opening day.

Hey ********, the Cubs were so concerned about Schwarber's leg that they wouldnt let him run in the Arizona League game he played in Saturday. He was only allowed to hit, but not even run the bases. Does that sound like medically cleared or that he is ready? Idiot

Irredeemable.

 

[SilenceS]

Irredeemable.

Hoyer said its if they think he can hit a home run. Seems logical. He is pushing hard to be on the roster.

 

[Diehardfan]

As I predicted

If that's what you predicted....rest assured Schwarber is in Tuesday's night lineup.

 

[Spunky Porkstacker]

Hoyer also said Schwarber participated in sliding drills.

I just got an MLB alert that he's in and starting tomorrow.

 

[NCChiFan]

I'm ok with this.

The mlb alert said reports are he's on roster and dh tomm

But

Club has not commented or confirmed

I'd say we'll find out tomm morning and not earlier.

Which is par. Every big move they let the suspense build.

But for a mock line-up:

Fowler CF
Bryant 3B
Rizzo 1B
Zobrist LF
Baez 2B
Schwarber DH
Russell SS
Montenero C
Heyward RF

I believe Joe will use the 9 spot as a 2nd lead off. That puts Heyward and Almora in a RF platoon.

Kyle Schwarber en route to Cleveland now on a private jet. He's expected to DH for the #Cubs in Game 1. @MLB @MLBNetwork

Really? Are you sure he didn't run because he was 0-3?

He doubled today and slid into 2nd. Or was that a pinch runner?

Both Hoyer and Maddon have said the decision will be made tomorrow morning. They have until 10am.
