d.smyly has been shut down for the season.

he's allegedly healthy...they just don't think he'll be stretched out enough to contribute before the season ends or something whatever.

Every time I think the Cubs have the division locked up, they start losing and Brews/Cards start winning.  Every time I think the Cubs are falling apart and may lose the division, they start winning.  With that in mind, here is my prediction for this series with the Brewers:

Today: Win (3 games up)

Tomorrow: Lose (2 games up)

Wednesday: 24 inning tie game, finished at a later date.

Is Maddon high?  Not the situation to insert Carl Jr with his current struggles

Joe left Lester in after he was clearly hurt.  Two outs, nobody on.  A single and a double later, he brings in CJ to uncork a first-pitch WP which brings in the go-ahead (edit: Winning) run.  Try to limit yourself to one stupid decision per inning, please.  Cubs, Bears, Kopech, NU loses to Duke -- too much bad sports karma around Chicago right now. Oh, and Matt Adams just hit a 3-run bomb in the 8th to give STL the lead.  Literally every bit of sports news over the last 3 days has been bad. Woof. 

Edit: This loss is completely on Maddon.  Inexcusable decisions on Lester and CJ.  Beyond dumb.

Oof. Lester vs Miley and the Cubs appear out-classed in all phases of the game. I did like Zobrist's army crawl retrieving the ball in the RF corner earlier but not a lot of juice otherwise.

And for God's sake, can a Cub pitcher retire Lorenzo Cain one time this game?

    happ is back (and starting), mervis DH, tauchman gets RF.

    morel 5th in the lineup.  hoerner continues to lead off, even vs a righty.

    I don't care to see Hendricks or Smyly on the 26-man Roster the rest of the season. Both, stupid signings and option pick up by Jed.

    i know the cubs are paying the guys, but for the sake of the win/loss column this is some great news.

    woo!  people getting injured!  kick ass!

    sportsball is cruel.

    would have liked to keep cooper, but it looks like they're gonna go with wisdom if they have to pick a righty who's gonna K 1/3rd of his PA's.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Edwards would be my guess, or maybe they’re hoping Sanders or R Thompson can finally figure it out 

  • Cubster (view)

    So it’s Mervis, Wesn and Little for Cooper, Hendricks and Smyly. Count me in. Starting rotation for now: Taillon, Imanaga, Wicks, Assad and Brown-Wesn. Eventually Steele. 

    Lineup

    Hoerner, Happ, Bellinger, Busch, Morel, Swanson, Tauchman, Mervis, Amaya.

    Another year AZPhil, and you have more to do than ever! Heck yeah! Great stuff from Rosario so far. What are your impressions of guys like Freilyn Silverio, Adan Sanchez, Jose Escobar, and Anderson Suriel? Particularly the first two, feel like I’m forgetting one. 

  • fullykräusened (view)

    My first thought was that Hendricks was IL'd with a broken ERA, but after some quick research, you're right about MLB making at least some effort to discourage the "phantom IL."

    luke little rejoins the MLB party...

  • crunch (view)

    hendricks IL...lower back...

    given recent backlash by MLB, i doubt this is a phanton IL.

    wtf...also drew smyly to IL...right hip...

  • crunch (view)

    boston, houston, miami...lots of potential suitors for a backup 1st/DH who won't be pain if they need regular ABs
