So Lester has 99 pitches, 4 run lead, day night double header might be played today, and Maddon pulls him to start burning thru relievers.
Rosario brought back up as the 26th man for DHers

I dont know why he is not going back to the pitcher hitting 8th to get more guys on for Bryant, since he keeps putting him in the 2 hole not 3. When will Rizzo start getting bounced around in the order?

I dont even think Heyward is 100% yet, thats physically not talent wise. Just cant help but question the moves.

Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out.

Funny you should think I was referring to you....but maybe not. Thinking doesn't appear to be one of your strong suits.

Bryant hitting second doesn’t have anything to do with the pitcher batting eighth. Current thinking on ideal lineup construction is that your best OBP guy leads off, your all around best hitter in the 2 hole, your best power hitter 4th and your second best power hitter 5th. Whoever is left of your five best hitters hits third. Unfortunately the Cubs roster doesn’t quite lend itself to the ideal lineup so they tend to play matchups based on game day analytics.

If you heard that crowd roar, your TV must be turned all the way up. There are 14 people there. :)

If you're on 2nd with nobody out and Rizzo is up, grab yourself a lawn chair. :)

Waiting for Maddon to drop him in order...
I'd actually bat him 9th for a couple games

You are brave implying that a player is playing poorly on this board. You’re a Meatball crowd coming out in 3...2...1

If not hitting, Maddon moves you up, not down.

On base three times in this game. We're in the 4th.
