He ranks basically dead average. So a huge improvement over Contreras.

Also bringing Ryan in was less Joe making a good tactical move and more Joe doing the thing he does this year where he always finds some excuse to bring Kyle Ryan in even if the situation calls for a completely different pitcher.

Hot take that Cubs fans are going to dogpile me over:

Schwarber isn't really all that good and the Cubs should look to upgrade. .777 OPS with 0.4 fWAR and 98 wRC+.

Sure is cool that Cubs dragged what little of their reputation they had left after the Ricketts emails through the mud to give Russell a contract lol

Didn't Melancon have like a 2 something ERA only a month ago? Has he been blowing up?

I hope the Brewers panic and trade Hiura for pitching because he looks real good and I'm not looking forward to six years of 19 games a season against him.

Normally I get real mad when the Pirates throw up an in, even if it's unintentional, but I'll make an exception for Addison Russell. Please pitch him up and in. A lot.

*Checks depth chart*

Oh hey, Rosario is still on the team. That's a thing... uh, Rosario and Brach to finish this off give up seven runs and force this to extras I guess?

Also I just remembered Hamels is still injured and we don't have a replacement from AAA up. If Chatwood gets another goddamn spot start I riot.

Q is getting pelted

It's impressive that he's just mediocre instead of completely washed given he has a low 90's FB, a curve nobody swings at, and a changeup he refuses to use.

lol second time Garcia has doubled but because he's so low in the lineup they just IBB to the pitcher and nobody scores.

Joe can't construct lineups to save his life.


Uh or Q can single in a run lol egg on my face
