He went on a rehab assignment before Robert right? He should be due to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really isn’t any. He doesn’t play his natural position, hits left-handed (like Goodwin and Sheets), and can’t really play the OF. I’m just guessing they won’t cut him yet and going off of what a poster said yesterday (I’ll find it later) about Robert not playing OF back to back days yet. I kinda doubt he comes back today (if at all this week). Edited August 3, 2021 by manbearpuig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 August is the worst month, just killing time waiting for the opportunity to clinch in September and the playoffs. Yawn. Play around .500 and get folks healthy. How about a Go Fund Me to buy Jose some armor? Bubble wrap Eloy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Robert back maybe by the Cubs series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I don't see Robert back quite yet, but Lamb doesn't make much sense right now. Could there be someone coming up that's unexpected? Who could that even be? Most likely it's Lamb, though, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 LaRussa said the other day he didn't expect Lamb back for KC. I think he is ultimately going to get DFA'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn’t been 10 days and he’s not replacing an injured player (Lambert). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yawn. Play around .500 and get folks healthy. How about a Go Fund Me to buy Jose some armor? Bubble wrap Eloy? Oh you just inspired a great idea. You know how Jose won't wear the elbow guard like a lot of hitters because it feels uncomfortable to him. Then there are those air splints used for injuries and there is bubble wrap to protect stuff sent in packages. There should be some product kind of halfway between an air splint and bubble wrap that would work like one of those nyoprene knee braces. So for an elbow guard you have smaller pockets of air rather than bigger pockets so its more flexible and slide it up to your elbow like a brace. Basically a brace with air pockets like bubble wrap only stronger than bubble wrap on the part facing the pitcher Probably not as much protection as a solid hard plastic shield you strap onto the arm but for those looking for something more comfortable with better protection than just a nyoprene brace it could work. You could have wrists bands too. Do any new types of shoulder pads use any type of air cushioning ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can increase or decrease the air in them as well for player comfort. Not real popular though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwest Sider Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Cubs are a AAA team so Robert might as well be back for that series and play 1 or 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Glad to see Eloy back in there. Let's strive mightily to not get hurt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Until we get Luis back, and because we know we're going to get the inane LvR lineup, this is as good as we could ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 This is the first time this year Yoan has batted lower than 5th (he did this eleven starts combined the previous two seasons). We'll see if Eloy can make it through a full game tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrankinSox Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Love the lineup 1-7. Soon the 8-9 will be replaced by Robert and Grandal. Tim and Jose really need to get it going but this lineup is STACKED, especially with the emergence of Engel as a legit starting RF. Let's get hot!

Bob Sacamano Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 I would like to see Moncada and his .363 OBP in the second spot instead of Hernandez's .308 against lefties but pretty much my only complaint. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
