Yeah it didn't look that bad at first but on the replay he clearly just slammed his wrist into a brick wall while running full tilt. :stonk:

Cool job by Lackey to gently caress up a simple sac bunt and kill the rally. But clearly this is all somehow Contreras' fault.

So apparently Contreras was not shifted to left because of Lackey throwing a sad. He was shifted because they Cubs had to lift Soler with "right side tightness".

Assuming it's going to be 4 guys, who would you rather have be the fourth? Montgomery?

I'm not asking to be flippant, I'm just curious. The Cubs have such a great top 3 and then after that, hoo boy. I don't think I want Hammel even coming out of the bullpen.

To be totally honest, I'd much rather have a Lester/Hendricks/Arrieta three man rotation and just not have a fourth. That assures we at least see Lester and Hendricks twice, and means Lester is on deck for a potential game 7. Lackey can be a swing guy out of the bullpen.

I'd be down with that if it's feasible, but aren't 3 man playoff rotations pretty rare?

I guess they could be strict with pulling guys early and having Lackey/Montgomery be long relievers maybe.

I'm okay with Lackey being the #4 starter. It should go Lester, Hendricks, Arrieta, Lackey.

Apparently the Brewers need to stop playing against the Cubs. It's at least the second time this year they've had two guys leave for injury reasons.
