Sambuca Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I'd switch Moncada and Robert, but when everyone is healthy, you really can't go wrong. If Engel is back, we will have an entire lineup of roughly .800 OPS hitters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWINFan Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Al Yellon writes at the Cubbie Blue site that the teams at a crossroads and that the Sox can take over as the more popular team. He believes the Cub organization has to have a strong off season or the more casual fan will drift over to the South Side. Simply said, he believes the Sox have more talented and likable players, and a long run in the playoffs will tip the scales after a half century of Cub popularity. It will be interesting to see if there is a noticeable Cub fan presence at the park tonight. This is baseball. On any day, a bad team can beat a good one. But if I were a Cub fan, I'd stay at home. Even with Keuchel on the mound, Cub fans are better off finding something else to do. How about Scrabble? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Fuck yes that lineup. I dont care who is in RF when all our regulars are in. Also it's time for this team to reel off a big winning streak. No reason they cant go on a run. Bullpen just needs to be better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 22 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: If not true, such slander is a bannable offense. ^^^ This. I inserted both starting lineups in the first post, with my team preference posted first, despite the fact they are the home team and are batting second tonight. The Cubs are going with their version of a "Sunday lineup", with their best remaining player (Willson Contreras) as well as their hottest hitter (Ian Happ) both sitting tonight. Their highest paid player Jason Heyward is playing Right Field and batting 8th. Their second highest paid player is slated to start Sunday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossanoveralls Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I am a huge Billy Hamilton fan. Became one watching him with the Royals. When he comes back, I'd like to see him in RF a lot. Him batting 9th would be like they did batting Ozzie 9th with more speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
