And we're back to our regularly scheduled thread making. At least for a week.

So what are people's take on Addison Russell and if he should be put back into the line up immediately?
On one hand, he'd improve the infield defense, since while people claim moving Baez from SS to 2B is a downgrade, they forget moving Beaz to any position is an upgrade and Russell isn't a slouch at SS either.
On the other hand the offense has been trucking which creates the big question of whom do you send to the minors to make room for Russell on the roster?

As Maddon would say, these are the type of problems a team likes to have.

I could really go for a Deep Dish™ pizza right about now

I feel like cosplaying to a stadium would be fun as a group

give him a couple starts at short, maybe see how he can play 2nd too

Baez at second, Russel at short

Lester doesn't look rusty.

>whom do you send to the minors to make room for Russell on the roster?
Send Zagunis down and Bryant plays mostly outfield with Descalso/Bote on 3rd?

three starving kids in chicago were just sentenced to death by ben zobrist

Are umpires worse than ever? Theyve been terrible for this whole series on both sides

Binny could just give $100 just to be nice.

is Rizzo, dare I say it, back?

I dont think Russell will immediately become the everyday shortstop again - Descalso and Bote have both earned playing time, and it's not like Russell is guaranteed to hit well.
still, it's good to give him reps, and if he's hitting like shit, >we have the depth to compensate
expect a lot more late-inning subs/pinch hits. if he hits well...trade chip? demote Zagunis

Binny's should donate 100 bottles of beer to the Chicago food bank instead

>Baez is 5 for 5 against Stripling
Now 6 for 6.

You guys overwhelm us at home so we can't stab you all.

did heyward take the babip luck from everyone else

Schwarber will
Strike out looking at a borderline pitch
GIDP
3 run homer

lel, how in LA though? It's not really a transplant city iirc

Unless it’s to spell Seager like today, I don’t understand why you’d ever play him. Even then, just put Kike at short and Muncy at 2nd, it’s not like CTs platoon advantage is helping any.

All the transplant live by the beach.

cubs baserunning
catch the fever

LOL nice running decision

fail
as usual

Lester will avenge us

doydoys still asleep, comfy thread.

let's go lester

;_;

Send Schwarber back to Iowa and get another arm for the pen, or bring Happ back to play a few.

not a big fan of these squandered chances tbf

>Taylor still starting
why

should have traded schwarber for pitching when he had value

schwarber takes a while to get going, it's been less than a month. give it time, he will start mashing righties

>RISP

>risp
ack ack ack
>cubes

Oof, the Cubs are getting hits, just can't capitalize on them yet.

Attached: 1501907213181.png (1366x768, 557K)

LA transplants are more likely to go to hockey games than baseball games. Watch a Blackhawks @ Kings/Ducks game and you’ll understand

lester is like.. the worst batting pitcher in the league. chill out

not any good hits, stripling limiting damage. 10-0 dodgers, big win on the road

He hasn’t had value in like two years though

yes but you had schwarshit at bat

This, he does a lot better in warm weather.

imagine having the best catching depth of any teams farm system and starting rocky gale

we need to bring up will smith already

not true at all. most teams would love to have him, plus he's become better defensively.

cubs just have a deep outfield now especially with heyward raking

martin still on the IL? he was hitting well .

Happ is hitting .225 (16-for-71) with a .721 OPS (9 XBHs) and 25 Ks in 19 games at AAA

not sure how well he has to do till he gets called back up, but i dont think this is it

I have serious reservations about Theo's ability to get a good return

where the fuck is Keibert?

imagine getting swept by the cubes. OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

it's been 2 innings

Keibert is still not done yet, Smith should come up

OH NO NO NO NO NO

SCUBA DUBA KEK

keibert still probably a year out but will smith should be ready

someone get this asshole out of here!

Attached: 1550594727911.gif (512x512, 510K)

This, the Cubs' outfield has solid depth. Almora is playing the role of old Heyward where his batting is sub par but his defense is godly. It's a shame he doesn't get more play time so he can get out of that funk.

Theo's extremely loyal to certain prospects. It's why you're seeing so much of Bote, not only because he's doing great, but because he was hand picked by Theo.

What a garbage zone

Barely touched the boarder.

this ump sure does hate us today

>Schwarber can't play defe-

FUCK YOU THEO FUCK YOU

>Northwestern
Fuck those guys

Almora is sitting on two years worth of negative offensive production. Bad bat good D is his ceiling.

Get fucked lester you fat prick

Heyward would have thrown him out.

C'mon dodgers get your shit together, the MVP can't do it alone.

FUCK YOU MANKID FUCK YOU

lester is the most unlikable man in the league.

Look at how little he moved and it was still at the end of his range lol

TRADE RIZZO AND HEYWARD FOR PITCHING

>this is what cubes fans call "top tier fielding"

fuck you mankid fuck you poster/trade rizzo for relief pitching poster is back!

What? He had a great start last year or the year before, the problem is the outfield is so loaded he has to fight for time still. Happ is in the minors, but with Descalso at 2nd base, that pushes Zobrist into the outfield which again affects Almora's ABs.

Attached: 1436705887092.png (372x741, 57K)

That's how great a defender Schwarber is, he knew where Turner was going to hit and barely had to move.
Stay fuming.

Here we go Theo here we go!!
*CLAP CLAP CLAP*

THEIES TAKEOVER!!!!!

bellinger robbed yellich of a homerun, schwarshit just got lucky

stripling making your 300 million dollar payroll look foolish

>Bellinger can jump up against a wall
The biggest meme defensive play in baseball. Let's see Bellinger rob Schwarber of a homerun at this ball park.

>this is what scubas fan think

VERDUGOOOOOOOOOOO

Javier Baez is like the most stereotypical Puto RIcan, it hurts.

159 post not one talking baseball strategies...the state of Yea Forumsort

People ignore the fact he hit a home run right after he died in that picture.

The wind is blowing in, so the odds are stacked against the Cubs for their chances of tying the game with a single swing of bat. (Unless there's a walk and it's a base hit that goes into the right field corner.)

Why are cubs fans such sore losers?

>muh 2016 umps

woohoo!

these umps are retarded

He's out of the baseline, if you said Baez was out Sieger is out.

cubs fans wear 2016 shit to remind themselves that they still have less rings than the pirates and reds (and dodgers and A's)

>Dodgers needing the umps to bail them out
>Again

Cubs took 2 of 3, you would think they would be classy about it but no, they're subhumans.

The ump was a foot away looking right at the play. AI umps are sorely needed.

sorry we can be better

He didn't even bother to get out the way, that shouldn't be a HBP.
