Jose Abreu

For all the crap Abreu gets for his defense, he's still a hell of a lot better out there than any other 1B on our roster.

Santiago warming up

This reminds me of the people who always demand a catcher who's good at framing, good at throwing runners out, good at handling a staff, and good at offense. They act as if we should easily find this player and it's our scouting department's fault for not coming up with him. Yet, there are like, 1-2 catchers who fit all those requirements in all of baseball. Anderson is the least of our problems. You can pencil him in as the #9 hitter on a good team at shortstop and call it a win, especially with what he's getting paid.

Maybe other than catcher, it's the one position where OBP doesn't really matter as much

Eloy Jimenez will prove he's the next Miguel Cabrera or JD Martinez

I know he's on a nice streak but I'm still surprised by the amount of Adam Engel I'm seeing penciled in at center field. I'm still far from sold on him as a starter

Rondon

I feel like this is the kind of thing where he's day to day with a bruise and then the next day he's placed on the 10 day DL

Love it

That should be the case, but (I may be wrong) I feel like they've had opportunities to do this with their 5th starter in recent years but have deliberately gone through a normal, 5 starter rotation with the extra rest early on

I'm not even that mad about Minaya pitching on back to back days. I just want to know why we called up Vieira and Burr to never use them.

How about literally anyone who didn’t go 1.2 innings yesterday? How about Burr, who has now been here for 7 games and made one appearance?

I guess the tank isn’t over while Ricky is managing.

Minaya pitched 1.2 innings yesterday, Burr and Vieira have been used like once each in the past 7 games, and we go to minaya

Reinsdorf strikes again

Fry is nasty

I thought of that today. 2014 Cubs used a relatively decent second half to lure a big FA and then they won 97 games in 2015. Our second half has been better than theirs was to date

2019 PLAYOFFS LETS GO!!!

Nice

Not to take away from Engel’s hit but Andujar should’ve made that play, yet again.

Not to beat a dead horse but I came into this series with the lowest of expectations for Andujar’s defense and I’m still shocked at how bad he is.

I legitimately thought it was like a weak pop out or something before going on twitter. Turns out it was closer to a bomb

They’re using 4 man outfields against him in charlotte now
