Moving forward, I'd hit Moncada second, Robert 3rd cuz avoid the double-play, but I think Jose is pretty attached to hitting 3rd. Gonna be good to have Yo back. On a different note, does "great frame of mind" ring any alarm bells with anyone else?

How long is the leash with Keuchel now? Red Sox bullpen has been struggling, but Sox can't score, do you let Keuchel get into trouble and try to go 5? Or is this more of a bullpen game?

Scalded!

Sheets looks lost at the plate.

Keuchel really does look like meat.

On the bright side, at least I don't have to watch Pollock "hit."

Once again, it seems like the most important player on the team is Yoan Moncada. If he's close to his 2019 form, he'll be a huge catalyst to offensive improvement. Even if he's 2021 Moncada, he'll still be a nice addition back.

Isn't there a $5 million buyout?

I think it’s pretty clear that he’s washed up and everything left on his contract is dead money. Let’s trade him for Tatis Jr.

Hell yeah!

Yeah, but A ball teams don't give a lot info about injuries or illness. Look at Krogman. We still don't know what his injury was.

Uh oh, if Robertson keeps pitching like this, come July Hahn will trade Vaughn and Ramos for him.

Hmmm, is Foster good again? Bullpen arms, you never know from one season to the next.

Oh, they'll find a way.

This feels like a Spring Training 'B' game, and the Cubs have most of their good players in the 'A' game.

Huh? Matt Foster?????

If only Justin Crawford lived in Indiana.

The other scary thing is that Wes Benjamin is likely to be every bit as good (bad) as a guy they're paying $18 mil. Damn, would Rodon look good right about now.

That’s why I was wondering yesterday if Carlos Perez might get a shot. If Grandal is gonna catch 1 out of every 3 games, they need a 3rd catcher so they can pinch hit if nothing else.

At least they’re not making it interesting.

I predict Severino and Mendick go now. Foster for Kelly. Burger for Moncada. If he’s still pitching this bad, Keuchel for Cueto.

Another 2b for Duke Ellis. Anyone know if there’s been some sort of change with this guy or is this just a hot streak? NDFA from a major program, so would be a coup if he can be even a depth player.

McGuire has de facto become the starting catcher. If Yasmani’s gonna DH this much, should they send Mendick down and bring up Perez?

2-12 w/RISP. Even when they lead, they do not look good.

LaRussa will not let Bummer get into low leverage to help find himself.
