You want the pitchers to hit, but you think that leads to more hits? Huh?

Blue blue blue blue blue blue bluuue

What if

Agreed. I feel like one will be out West

I actually really don't hate it. Just want more of a balanced schedule I guess.

They should definitely travel and play at all the empty stadiums during the 2027 lockout. We'll only have that and MiLB (minus 40-man guys).

I had some friends buy tickets to both games. They made 5x their money.

Where would he play? You'd probably need both Benintendi and Tauchman to hit the IL to open up a spot.

Both guys kinda feel like platoon guys at best guys

ok

Agreed. The guys here like Burke, Smith, Martin will throw more innings than they ever have in a season.

I agree that they would need the help if Civale was traded. He wasn't.

Yikes. To be fair, if they want to sign/work with him again, they can sign him in the offseason. I hope they aim higher though.

Come on just one more out and then score some runs for him.

I guess we got innings out of Civale but really wish he was moved for anything 2 weeks ago. Could just claim guys to fill innings.

I hate that he didn't work as hard here and don't really care how he does going forward but I love love love that he is currently making my Cubs fan friends miserable. So thank you for that, Andrew.

Man I don’t think that ball would have gone out without his help

Get in front of that

I'd still rather see Vargas get most of his PT at 3B but overall, pretty solid lineup to watch.

So he's just an opener for a regular starter or is it another bullpen game?

Who’s starting today? Is it another bullpen game?

I figured Rojas was the logical one to go. Or Mead for regular at bats. So many IF options and not enough spots for consistent playing time, as well as the catchers, Benintendi, and Tauchman seeing time at the DH spot. Vargas, Sosa, Colson, Baldwin, Mead, Amaya, Rojas.

Yep, easily the best from that group.

Especially for a guy who struggled for over a year in the minors

That you got anything for a MiLB deal and is free agent in 2 years.
