Descalso at 2nd... awesome

 

[CubsFaninMN]

Joe is throwing his mostly-lefty lineup against this rookie. I'm sure we'll see major changes with pinch hitters as the game goes along.

 

[TL1961]

Is Alzolay warming up yet?

 

[CSF77]

Chatwood knows X2 play

 

[TL1961]

HBP and a throwing errors.....but, hey, no walk yet. So I guess he isn't wild.

 

[TL1961]

This fucking Chatwood is a mess.

 

[TL1961]

I'm quick to criticize Descalso, but that was a great at bat.

 

[SilenceS]

Great inning!

 

[TL1961]

Six runs scored on five different scoring plays. I like the HR, but it's so nice to see an actual rally.

 

[TL1961]

And chatwood is working on tying this up.

We shall get our first look at Alzolay very soon.

willy got hit in his willy

 

[TL1961]

Interesting that we lead off with the pitcher we are pulling this inning, but we need to save bats.

So Chatwood proceeds to get on and move into scoring position.

Can someone explain to my why Descalso is with the team and Happ is in the minors? Is it that outstanding 164 BA? Or maybe his clubhouse leadership.

Dude needs to go. NOW!!!!!!!!

Descalso not being worth a roster spot doesn’t somehow make Happ worth a roster spot

You are correct....So tell me who is worth the roster spot Descalso is stealing? Because he sucks!!!!!!!

I haven’t followed the minors as closely the last couple years other than what I see people post here, but unfortunately I don’t think we have a whole lot of great options right now. Giambrone could be kinda like Bote, but I don’t think he’s had a very good year so far.

So far, so good, Adbert.

He is doing the team a favor right now. I would like him back training in Sept then 2 weeks of live ready for Oct.

As far as everyday 2B it should be Russell. Bote is the main UI. Frees up Russell to play SS,
