If hes not Martinez to first Tyler O'Neil  to right not a bad backup plan.

Hopefully he is fine but you are like me when someone gets injured for the Cubs, I always think of a Plan B. I never dreamed Bote could fill in for Bryant the way he has - we have been lucky there. Losing Carpenter still would be a big loss.

Xrays negative

That's great news! Thanks for the update. Yeah well ran teams like the Cubs and Cards do have depth so that helps. Cubs were never well ran until Theo arrived. Our FO and Manager now know what they are doing. Joe can get a little crazy with the different lineups at times and Pitching changes but I can't argue his Win/Loss record.

The Nats whole lineup is actually scary, well at least most of it. Of course Murphy and Harper but Zimmerman and Turner are no slouches either. 

Don't forget Soto. Very dangerous line up and it's amazing that the bats woke up and the pitching stepped up to at the same time for the Cards. That's an accomplishment to keep that lineup from scoring runs. I'm waiting on the Cubs to get a stretch where they put it all together. I was hoping after that brilliant pitching performance by Hamels and the walk off homer that would inspire the team but these Cubs just don't seem be able to get any momentum.

Carpenter hit by pitch and hurt

I hate that. If it's on purpose there is just no excuse for that. I can understand pitching inside to push a hitter off the plate but if you can't control your pitches then you don't have any business trying that. Atlanta had the same thing happen to their hot hitting kid Acuna. First pitch of the game hit him on his elbow it looked....and it was definitely deliberate. He was going for 6 home runs in 6 consecutive games. These guys throw way way too hard now days to be purposely hitting guys. They are going to have to do a better job of penalizing and getting this out of the game. The game can't afford for its star players to be sitting out 6-8 weeks for broken bones all because a hot head pitcher can't get someone out.

Harper in my opinion is overated , hits HR's but .239 is not superstar material .

Considering the way he started out the season that isn't bad. I mean he was hitting like .214 almost half way into the season. Past month he is hitting .337 and ops of 1.115 with 7 home runs and 20 batted in. I know the Cubs are suppose to be in on him next offseason but I do have my worries. He is very streaky...he has so much movement in his swing...I don't like it. Needs to get quieter with his hands and get the bat in the ready position (nob to the catcher) quicker. He is still moving all around as the pitcher is getting into his pitch but because he is so athletic he can catch back up etc but I definitely think it causes him problems at times. All that said he is a deadly hitter still. I mean just look at Carpenter the past month or so...he wasn't exactly lighting it up either before that. The difference though I think was Carpenter was close...Harper when he is missing...he misses BIG.

The Metropolitans end up scoring 24 Runs, just WOW.

 

Hope they can save some runs for deGrom. Lol

 

I did not know Facebook broadcasts games. Apparently the Mets-Phillies double header is being shown on FB (or Bookface, as my fellow Vikes fans call it).

      Pick #46/ #82 What's Available Day 2? Discussion

      By Crunked · Posted

      I thought someone might ask "who" I would want him to swing for the fences for.....and its tough to explain, but I will try. I would have loved Marv Jr. for nostalgia but knew that was unrealistic at any cost.....Liked the idea of Brock Bowers, etc. but its not really "WHO" for me, it was the effort, risk it....and this applies to FA as well. Go out on a limb for a difference maker, I think they are more qualified to determine "who" that is than I.....and maybe there wasn't one. but over the last 7 or 8 years there have been opportunities in FA and draft. So maybe my disappointment is more cumulative than this instance specific......Dunno if that makes sense, he has played it safe for years and does well with what he has had, guess I am saying (my opinion) at some point you gotta say "I am pushing all in" for this player as we need that over the top player now......and he never seems to reach that boiling point.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      Nice to see you so positive Doug. I like the pick as well the more I think about it. Hopefully we have our QB in AR, our RT in Raimann, and now our Edge in Latu + Buckner is still All-Pro worthy on the D.Line. Pittman is a good possession WR but I still wish we had a legit deep threat to really open things up at WR. I guess if Taylor runs the ball at a pro-bowl level it could open things up more, hopefully Nelson stays healthy. I do like Downs a lot. Pierce to me, is on a prove it to me level.

      This is how I feel as well. It’s frustrating to see other teams in our division build around their young QB and we’re left watching. Seems like a broken record but year after year we enter the draft with SO many holes. The Texans basically went worst to first and will even be better this year with the moves they made. At some point I hope we can get out of the mud. AR needs another weapon and sadly the ones that could make an immediate impact are gone.

      I think Latu is exactly that kind of player, who is said to be the most special edge rusher in the draft. Only concern with him was neck injury, but he recovered from that 2 years ago and his awesome tape shows the kind of special player, far from injury concerns. Without that injury history, he'd have been top-10, if not top-5, player in this draft easily.    So, what more swing-for-fences move you refer to? Which player did you have in mind?
