Also guessing this means Zobs may be out for the year.
If anybody thinks that Bote doesn’t deserve to be up then they are delusional or haven’t been watching.
David Bote making certain his place in Chicago is secure. Cat is clutch.
Joe might want to rethink his commitment to Ryan and Brach. Six of the seven runs scored by the Rockies are the result of their efforts. They did retire one batter.
Wasn't Brach pretty good last year? He has been ungood recently.
Brach I suspect. Ryan survives because he is a lefty.
Rizzo's career numbers at lead off. 166 AB, 24 R, 53 H, 8 2B, 1 3B, 11 HR, 31 RBI, 21 BB, 34 K, .319 AVG, .395 OBP, .578 SLG. He jokingly (?) claims he is the best lead off hitter in baseball. He might be right.
Brach cant be sent down - DFA is the only option, and I would expect someone would claim him with his low salary and past performance - but he probably needs to take some time off. Wouldn't be surprised with an IL stint for him soon, maybe even before Kimbrel is ready.
Speaking if Cubs that stink, Descalso needs to be removed from his role asap - there is a guy in AAA that is raking and could take his place right now, and potentially allow us to move on from Addy too if his performance so far in the minors is indicative of what he can do. Robel Garcia went to play in Italy for two years, Cubs signed him to a minor league deal this off season and he has done nothing but crush the ball since.
Do you think the Cubs are hesitant to bring him up too quickly?
