Green Line Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Isn't there anyone better than Delmonico in Schaumburg if they have to do this?? Bucket of balls? Edited August 20, 2020 by Green Line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 2 off days next week so they sort of don't need a 5th starter for a while. Weird that it wouldn't go to a bullpen piece instead of bench spot though.

bmags Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Dunning's start was a huge positive, that said, really annoys me that they didn't give him the drew Anderson start a few weeks ago. We have same control now, and he would have given us a much better opener in an important game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird that it wouldn't go to a bullpen piece instead of bench spot though. The only arms in Schamburg on the 40 man are Ruiz (just optioned, believe he needs to stay for 10 days), and Flores. Then you got Bummer, Lambert, Lopez and Rodon all on the IL. So Flores was really the only option without DFAing someone, but there are a few guys who would be easy DFAs, Delmonico being the primary.

ChiSox59 Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Also recalling another OF concerns me a tad about Robert. We have 6 OF on the active roster now. That is alot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right. Today - Giolito Cubs series: Kuechel, Cease, Gonzalez Mon: Off day Pirate Series: Giolito, Kuechel Thur: Off day Royals Series: Cease, Gonzalez.....and then recall Dunning for 8/30 game 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I'd rather have Delmonico on the team over Luis Gonzalez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can....not sure how well. But with Engel back, seems less important. Ideally Engel plays RF against LHP so you can sit Mazara, but then if Engel needs to play CF because Robert needs to sit longer, neither Delmonico or Gonzalez are great options in RF against LHP. Doesn't make a ton of sense really. I'd have preferred throwing Micker out there in RF against the lefty today. But realistically, we're quibbling about the 28th man that will likely be gone in a couple days, so not going to get too worked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 This could be Robert related... could be renteria obsessing over having a super lefty lineup against two cubs RHPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 IIRC they did xrays on Robert. Should I assume that they also did an MRI? Because maybe they didn't, it's still sore and now they ran the MRI and see something's up with a ligament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
