When the game started tonight, our bottom 5 hitters had a collective batting average of about .200.
Go figure.
I guess we are better without Bellinger...
It is, but heard today that the Cubs might be willing to kick in some money in a deal. There are quite a few teams interested.
Get back to .500 and I’ll start watching again.
So, Jed would be paying yet one more guy to not play in Chicago. Sweet.
I'm not opposed to a deal, I'm just saying it's going to be hard to make a deal that has variables in the player's contract over the next two off seasons.
If he is going to produce like this in the future, it might be worth it to kick in some $ instead of paying $27 millionish.
In fairness, they just got caught yesterday with Seiya DHing. They’ve now called up Canario, so if he can actually play D, they’re ok. If he can’t, then that’s an issue and maybe it’ll be time to make another move.
I'm throwing my laptop through the window if you are thinking of Trayce Thompson.
Got any more predictions for tomorrow's games?
I never figured the series with the Orioles on the road would end like this.
Now we just need Kyle Hendricks to be lights out for 7 innings against the Cardinals tonight.
Threw 4 pitches I think and then waived for the trainer, and came out.
Didn’t look good.
I thought shoulder immediately because of the way he hung his arm and while there are plenty of potentially bad options with a shoulder, I was happy that it wasn’t an elbow.
Yeah hopefully it's not the major kind of shoulder injury and he can make it back this year. Certainly has dominant stuff, and although he has control/consistency issues he has mostly been really good lately.
Yeah, when I watched the video it didn't occur to me that it was a shoulder as it looks like he is grabbing his groin area.
I broke my own rule and started watching again before they got back to even..
If you ever get tired of that one, (I love it, btw) here is one I came across on Bleacher Nation after last night's 9th inning struggle.

That’s solid!
Hard to succeed in a double header when your two starters can’t complete a combined 7 innings.
