Where TF have these hitters been?
Still, plenty of RISP left by Morel and Swanson today.

Light bullpen usage yesterday, but I think Counsell wanted to send a messages and Steele is a bit of a red ass. Teams need a red ass lead dog sometimes to spark them.

95 pitches - I forgot complete games were possible

He''ll probably tie for the league lead now.

Not MLB, but Matt Shaw hasn't been seen or heard from in about 2 weeks.

Is that right? From this linked article posted on 6/28, it sounds like he is looking forward to appearing in the upcoming Futures game.

He hasn't played since June 27.

He hasn't played since June 27.

I had heard that he hadn't played a few games and people were speculating that he might be a little banged up. But MIA?

LOL at Jed polishing the turd during his interview. He just said they were the worst hitting team in baseball for about a month, but that isn’t who this roster really is.
Sure.

We've got our best hitter batting #2 today.

Beth Mowins and Jed in the same booth, barf.

A day or two before he had a collision with Ezequiel Pagan on a pop up. Pagan was taken off the field on a stretcher. I am wondering if Shaw had something show a day or two later?

You’ll get more of Beth tomorrow as the Cubs roll out an all female broadcast crew.

As soon as I heard her voice I knew today was a loss

Then you’re going to LOVE tomorrow when it’s Beth, Elise and Taylor on the broadcast.

It’s rumored that Hunter Bigge is being promoted from AAA. My guess is that Colton Brewer was given his walking papers after another lackluster performance. Bigge needs a spot on the 40 man roster, and even with Hendricks most likely going on the IL, it wouldn’t be the 60 day at this point.
