Saw a report that Rosario is going back down to Iowa, he is already off the 25 man roster, it stands at 24. no word on his replacement. Bass, Farrell?

Darvish moved to the 60 day DL so the cubs can bring in Jorge DeLarosa a left handed veteran who will wear sharks old shirt.

They claim it has no bearing on Darvish's possible return, just that he has been on the DL for 60 days so they are now allowed to use the roster spot.

You say this like it's a made up statement. Of course that's what they are doing. It's not like they have to wait 60 days from today. It's retroactive so he'll be able to return from it whenever healthy given he's been on the dl for awhile now.

Hoping for at least 2 of 3, they need to win this series..

Look forward to Sunday matchup,
Cool to see if Hamels can stay with Scherzer

Another rough 1st inning for Hendricks
27 pitches
Lucky to have only given up 1 run
Bote made a nice catch to save a hit

He has to avg 18 pitches per inning to get 5 in at 100 PC. one more bad inning this is going to be a bad day

Pitch count wasnt bad but 2 more hits and another run...

His body language looks like he doesn't want to be out there and has zero confidence in himself..

Unless he gets a couple 1 2 3 innings here or the bats wake up and score a bunch, guessing no matter the pitch count he only going 5 today...

Nice recovery from Hendricks
Got 6 good innings from him

Too bad the bats suck so far

I think we can forget about that offensive explosion from Russell. His batting skills suck. And always will

It was almost like having Bote swing and miss on that 3 - 0 fastball, gave him confidence to just fire 3 more like that over the plate to get him instead of nibbling..

Why you take on 3 n 0 when a pitcher struggling

Always good to have a solid offensive inning to tie a game up and have Maddon respond with..............

Justin Wilson lol

I don't care if I sound like a meathead but that ump needs to be penalized in some manner. The interference call was fucking outrageous. I don't think I have heard Coomer trash an ump so bad.

Nothing annoys me more in baseball than when a relief pitcher walks the leadoff hitter.

I don’t. If they were they would have with Manny.

Baez makes his most mistakes at SS. That is why he gets shifted between 3B and 2B vs taking over. Russell has been the weakest link in the IF but he is still there and it relates to his D. OBA .333 is sub par for his SLG

I’m thinking that you are working the manny angle here but that is pretty far fetched.
