0-7 With RISP. Fucking awful. 6 outs left and they wont get another run.

that's been the story of the series for far + shitty bullpen work.

It should be clear that waiting is costing them games and they do not have internal solutions. Time to dress up like a stalk of asparagus and play Lets Make A Deal. First step is to DFA Edwards, so Maddon can't choose to use him again in a key situation.

Go Cubs!!!!

They are not going to have a week of doing great. Ryan is garbage, he puts on 1 out of every 2 batters he faces and then they almost always score. Carl is a god damn gas can. Brach is a solid, Monty is solid as the long guy in a game you would actually like to win and She Shack is solid. Strop is going to be hurt all damn year and Morrow might be ready in 2 years.

There is no way they are going to DFA a guy who throws high 90's with the capability of wipeout stuff who still has options left. Trade him straight up for Giles. He has value even though he has completely blown the past 2 years.

other teams will trade for edwards and give something of some value back. lot of teams see the potential in him but not the suckage we have seen up front.

but i doubt theo wants to trade him.

Giles? naw. like you said he's sucked the last 2 years. basically you're getting an older Carl.

C'mon Bote, you can do this buddy.

not feeling it but hope you're right

this espn crew is so much better than the sunday night baseball crew. these crew should be their #1 team.

Russell will be gone as soon as his stock is high enough to fetch a good arm. Then the newly woke, please-don't-mention-the-leaked-emails Cubs will bury him to the media, just like Theo's Red Sox always did.

too bad happ is not doing well in the minors. other teams had a lot of interest in him like the giants.

good hustle bote!

let's go....

shit babe vs a left......ph joe?

They need to stop hitting fly balls. On a night like this they need to hit line drives and ground balls, not fly balls.

Why not send Contreras to first? It's not like it really changes the complexion of the game much.
