MLB: ***Official 2018 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

I think joe would have a negative WAR for this game. Hopefully they win in spite of him.

 

[FerShizzle]

Rosario blasted through the 10th, could have done so with a 2+ run lead, and Strop would be maybe not injured. What a disaster of a win.

I would go gay for Javy. There. I said it.

I don't see why we'd even let him swing. Wasn't there only one out?
Tell Pedro to take, get back to the top of the order.

+1.

‘Left hamstring soreness and probably out for a while’ per Dave Kaplan just now on the post game in regards to Strop.

Whatever. Chisek is the closer now is my guess. Morrow is going to be brought back early. He can pitch in games instead of rehabs

I am no expert but I once worked 16 days in a row making pizza in a kitchen for about $8 an hour for 4-5 hour shifts. I was worthless by the last few days but after my day off, was rejuvenated and felt great my next time back.

These guys are making more money but doing the same **** for 30 days in a row.

And while money does buy a lot, it does not buy rejuvenation.

Unless you buy cocaine but I am not encouraging that.

4 hour shifts! That must of been hell. lol!

And now Strop gets hurt running to 1st.

I get sending him to the plate there so you can get another inning out of him, but with one out, you tell him to keep the bat on his shoulder so there is no double play. No idea why you let him swing.

Heck, just tell him to set the bat on the ground. Maybe give him a Nerf bat so he doesn't think swinging is a good plan.

I’m one of the biggest Joe defenders of anyone (maybe Jesse Rogers) but today was an awful day by Joe

 

[CyForPresident]

If Strop gets a hit or sac fly there, everyone calls Joe a genius. No one could predict that Strop can’t run

False. We would find a way to complain and you know it.

Joe should know if Strop can run, and everyone else should be able to predict it.

 

[Rabbuk]

Dont pitch CEJ unless we have a 5 run lead and everyone else is dead.

He's got a 2.44 ERA. I get hes been in a funk the last few weeks, but he's been very good most the season.

We had LaStella sitting on the bench. Take your chances that he at least gets one run in and let Rosario pitch the 10th. Joe was using a guy that never hits in a huge scoring chance with only a 1 run lead. Just to use him for his third inning of action when he only ever usually pitches one.

I’ve had a night to sleep on it. **** MADDON.
