Huh it's weird that bringing Matt Wisler in to pitch during a major league baseball game didn't work out in success

If Jay were starting I'd agree. Zobrist has been scuffling all season long so I don't like him there, but with this lineup...Almora maybe? Rizzo? With Willson mashing as much as he has, you can handle the heart of your order being Bryant/Contreras/Happ with Rizzo at leadoff.

Isn't Happ's OBP like .325ish? To hell with him being in the heart of the order.

Happ has hit .226/.273/.290 since the ASB, not sure I want him in the heart of the order atm.

You overestimate the Cubs' bullpen. Outside of Carl's Jr. and Davis ... oof. And Lackey's good for five innings, six at the absolute most.

I feel like Rodon is going to be out by the fifth as he gives up 3 or 4 walks and then things will be really bad

Honestly Edwards has pitched like garbage in July and Davis has been very shaky - albeit still perfect - in his appearances since the ASB. If anything, the most stable guys we've had out of the pen lately have been Strop and Duensing, which :lol:

I think both Edwards and Davis are just getting flat-out tired. Maddon has ridden them heavily all season, and Edwards in particular looks like he needs like two weeks off to just rest.
