if the lockout taught me anything it's Garcia is a bargain. An almost everyday player for only $5 mil. Obviously he gave the team a hometown discount when he signed. And his life is tough He's always getting moved to a different position.

Big game for Garcia today. 3-4 with a couple RBIs.

Garcia is my pick to click. He's going 5 for 5 today.

Garcia

Underpaid. The team makes too much money. Remember the lockout.

With Garcia 0-300

I was going to say pull the starters, but they are already sitting.

Put a fork in 'em -- they are done. If they keep winning series life is good. I'm going to play a little golf

Anyone think we are going to win today?

Leury!

Well that went well. No one got hurt.

Just a little outside

With all the profits the team makes? Every player deserves even more. Remember the lockout?

He's cracked me up a couple times

Welcome to the Windy City.

Lol. Great montage. I do like our TV team.

I'm too lazy to research but can you think of a sub that would be more valuable for this team? I'd like to compare him to one guy. As injured as we always seem to be, having a guy like him seems like a rare puzzle piece that fits.

So that I understand. Modern players are more talented earlier players were more robust? Meaning we're keeping more talented but now injury prone guys around over less talented but durable?

Let's pause for a moment to recognize how Vaughn has worked hard to make himself even more versatile and valuable. That is the hallmark of a champion. Like a lot of guys on this team he has a great attitude and work ethic. Some of that credit goes to the front office and coaching staff.

One more thought, even at his 2021 productivity, just staying healthy and getting 30+ starts is a benefit to this rotation. It's not like he'll blow out his arm with his fastball.

Again, not only him. He needs help. But I'm expecting to see flashes of the 2017 - 2020 guy with the durability of the 2021 guy. But I'm a little biased from watching him in Houston. And it's an amateur take fueled perhaps by wishful thinking.

As I said in the thread I'm bullish on Keuchel this season. I believe 12 wins is likely. Based partially on him but also our offense and bull pen. It's a contract year and likely will be his last contract that he'll have a little leverage.
