I am happy to wait for as long as it takes to bring back Robert healthy and ready to play.

Thus starts the long day with no game. Ugg....

Thanks for the reminder to keep late October through early November open.

You do know he is right-handed, don't you?

Yeah...I am pretty sure you're right about that.

I am not for trading Moncada but certainly don't think he is untouchable. If you can trade Madrigal you can trade anybody.?

Yep....we are all getting health conscious these days.

It would be nice if he turns into something. Seems small at 5'10 and 160 lbs.

Maybe he could celebrate with a 3 homer night. The stadium would go nuts.

I agree with you. Seby has certainly picked up a few fans of his own. He is the best defensive catcher in the organization IMO.

I certainly hope not.

My player of the game is Lopez. Pitched like he wasn't afraid and with a decent pace. He could help a lot in the early inning relief appearances.

I've seen more than enough of Goodwin. He is in no position to be dogging it.

I don't disagree but I doubt this is happening.

I liked what I saw with the bat...especially that he knows how to bunt. He didn't have many chances to show off defensively other than he covered 1st base nicely on that Cleveland bunt. Want to see him turn the DP and cover some grounders before I can say I like him. Overall I thought he looked very good.

Mendick seems like a nice guy but he's no Madrigal.

Robert is our next big move. Not long now. Can't wait.

That must play into it as does RH wanting to win now. I will miss Nick but it was the right thing to do IMO.

Several weeks ago I and others opined the need for two relief pitchers (one of them being the late-inning type) and a second baseman. We got about the best available of what we asked for.

Cesar showed us he knows how to bunt. Situational bunting is fine with me if the person doing it knows how.

Yeah...I don't even recognize myself.

Rough first outing for Tepera. Rather see him in situations with a little breathing room until he gets comfortable with his new team. Ruiz being forced into action and dominating might do a world of good for his confidence though. All is forgiven when we win.

I think Nick will be at the top of the Cubs lineup for the next 10 years or more. As the saying goes...you need to give something to get something.

Very good likelihood of that happening.

Cleveland is also trying to help.
