Doubtful for the reasons I stated earlier. I don't know the Cubs trainer but as I said it's usually pretty obvious and they didn't react like it. Some players are just more "reactionary" than others.
He didn't grab his knee at all just saying at first glance that what I thought. Then I seen that he grabbed his ankle.

If you can get your hands on the Anderson Valley Blood Orange gose, do so, you will not regret it.
Will do! I have tomorrow off. I'll look for it. Thanks bud!

That has quickly become one of my favorites!!
I worked til 5, came home and drank a pint of that while watching Latos kick ass and took a power nap. Great day! Was really rooting for a great outing by Latos and got it. 5th inning was my key. Once he got through that easily I knew we'd get some runs and win.
I wanted 8-10 runs today and got 6. I'll take it. Latos' start was outstanding for him especially considering he had a couple outs dropped/error or should've been an error early. My goal today was waiting for the 4/5th for Latos. He passed with flying colors. I went crazy for Abreu's HR. We get Frazier going along with Melky and Abreu will take off even more. This was great today with us adding on runs in the 9th. Good to see Lawrie with a couple hits.
Good to see Lawrie flashing leather today at 2nd. Brett "The Lizard" Lawrie.
Eaton is en fuego!! Love it because he is the fulcrum of this team. He has a great year and this lineup with be a ton better
Worked all day and avoided this thread for most of the afternoon. Saved a good Boulevard Sour for today and I'm glad I did!
Pumped about our starting pitching. What a game by Latos all things considered. Eaton is absolutely on fire. That's fabulous for this lineup. I like Melky in the 2hole personally. I knew it'd start falling for him with how hard he hit it his first AB. Garcia hit the ball hard today. Navarro crushed that ball in the 9th. Starting this season out very good. I'm stoked to be going home 3-1 and Latos having a fabulous performance and Rodon having the best outing of the 4.

Why is Avi playing over Jackson? Ugh.
I would have gone:
CF Jackson
DH Eaton
1B Abreu
3B Frazier
LF Cabrera
2B Lawrie
RF Shuck
C Navarro
SS Saladino
I was thinking about that last night. Jackson leading off like he did in Detroit for awhile.
Offense needs to put about 8 runs on the board. Latos needs to go at least 5 innings and be solid. I want to see a solid outing from him. No blow up innings.
