Cubs vs Braves IGT (Vol. Silence negligent)

[TL1961]

There aren't starters I specifically want traded, but a trade to shake things up

I don’t

I don’t know about blowing it up but I would definitely like to see Hoerner start at 2nd base next year from day 1 and see Alzolay in the rotation and try like hell and trade Russell and heyward and possibly Almora between the trade deadline this year and the off season and sign a free agent outfielder/leadoff in the off season. Also I think they should absolutely call up robel Garcia in the next few days and let him play 2nd base for a week straight and see if he is worth keeping

You're caught up in the hype.

And you have two new guys playing the same position.

 

[TL1961]

I am thinking, perhaps, this game is not over.

Need some baserunners, not just solo shots. But we have a few more chances.

 

[TL1961]

Contreras got back the one he allowed in the first and is trying to get another. Good hitting.

5-3

 

[CSF77]

Darvish and Q aren’t leaving the rotation unless it is for a DL stint

So you say.

Q was pushed back to game 2 of the Reds series.

Hamels, Q, Lester.

So I see it as Lester and Hamels are set in stone ATM. The rest are moving around as needed.

Much will depend on these last few starts going into the ASG and Hendrick's health.

From my best guess. Hendricks will start Rehab post ASG. I would expect him back 3 weeks after around the deadline.

Up until then Chatwood starts to see if any team wants to trade for him.

Lester and Hamels should be on every 5 days.
28th Hamels, 3rd Hamels. He should start the 2nd half also.
30th Lester, 6th W. Sox. He should pitch game 2.

That leaves 3 games vs the Pirates.
going by the current situation Alzolay, Darvish, Hamels, Chatwood

W.Sox: Lester, Alzolay

2nd half:
Hamels, Lester, Alzolay, Darvish, Chatwood or Q.

That is just the way it is lining up ATM.

 

[TL1961]

Brewers are within one, down 3-2 in 8th. And pirates won.
Cards lost again, and Cincy is about to.

 

[TL1961]

This series is going exactly how the Mets series went so far... comfortable win in game 1,
Close loss that should have been a win in game 2, ass kicking, pathetic loss in game 3.

It's 5-3

 

[TL1961]

Bryant with three hits, including a HR.
Good defensive play in LF.
Good defensive play at 3rd.

Meanwhile fans are calling for him to be traded. SMH

 

[TL1961]

Kintzler is a guy I don't mind seeing. He's done well, relatively quietly.

Who wants him traded? Haven’t heard his name come up at all on this board... have heard plenty of Chatwood, Russell, Happ, Almora, Heyward, Montgomery

I saw knuckleheads on Twitter suggesting it in response to a writer asking if the team needed a shakeup.

There were complaints here of how cold he was, when in fact it is not accurate. Power has been lacking recently, but his poor june is better than most.

 

[TL1961]

We need an XBH

 

[Bigfoot]

Great AB Russell

WTF Carantini that ball wasn't going to hit you

 

[Bigfoot]

0-9 with RISP.

 

[TL1961]

Two on, one out. Two Ks

 

[zack54attack]

Just incredible how this bad this team is right now with RISP.

 

[zack54attack]

WTF Carantini that ball wasn't going to hit you

Right down the middle.

 

[choyne35]

WTF Carantini that ball wasn't going to hit you

Why the hell are so
Many people high on caratini? Dude strikes out a lot and has one homer all year! I know he doesn’t play much but damn and he never gets a hit with someone on base

I
Mean the guy isn’t very clutch and plays with no emotion and I do believe he is way overrated but don’t really want to see him traded unless it’s a straight up all star for all star trade like I seen awhile back for Mookie Betts. I was saying 3 years ago that I would rather have Arrenado

 

[Bigfoot]

Just missed it Kyle
