Saw that they are going with Mills on game 2. Meh.

Cubs got to Castillo last time they faced him, right? A Saturday game in Cinci?

 

[bamainatlanta]

Have the Cubs won a series vs the Reds this season?

I just dont get what the deal with Underwood is. They must have him on their mind to move and dont want him to have a bad outing and lose value.

Pen arm now. And more suited at it.

 

[CSF77]

I see it as they want to keep Alzolay on a normal schedule. Mills is injury depth and expendable. So he gets the call.

So they want to take it easy on Willson after the break, so Caratini now is starting in the third out of four games after the break. What, does nobody want to throw to Contrares other than Lester now? Injury?

You were told this yesterday. He has a sore foot. Its minor, but they are just giving it some rest. Victors stick has played. No need to throw him out there when you can get him completely healthy.

My foot would be sore too if my manager put me in right field and I had to run 200 feet to try to catch a pop up along the line.

I guess thats why we did not hear from this years "Strop" incident.

Joe is a mother fucking genius.

 

[LondonBrett]

Day off for García?

He is not an everyday players. A lot of swing and miss to his game. The Cubs will play matchups with him. Hide the negatives, accentuate the positives.

Ahhh ok, I just thought he’s been playing well since coming into the team

So...surgery then?

 

[SilenceS]

Whiffed on that spot Hendricks.

Bryant needs to either take control in right or peel off. He has way to many close calls.

It's Madden's fault. For 100 years the ss/2nd had a range into the OF of 30 feet then it was up to the OF to take control and get the balls in front of them.

But Baez, Russell and others will go halfway to the wall thinking it's their ball. This is how players get season ending injuries. Maddon should be talking to the IFs and showing them where their boundary is

Tremendous thought. You should write a stern letter to him.

Yes, and I will alert the media
