Milner to IL. This can't be real.

From ridiculous to sublime.

Now Milner on the IL. Being a picher on the Cubs is about like being the drummer for Spinal Tap.

This just in: Javier Asaad put on the 15 day IL. Counsell just revealed that after his last start, Javier spontaneously combusted. He hopes to have him back after the All-Star break.

Bregman jogs to first on a groundout to the shortstop. It’s bobbled but because he dogged it, out by a step.

Please bench this guy. I can’t take it anymore. At least Shaw hustles. And his defense is better.

Sheesh Swanson. Zero offensive threat.

I know the Cubs are short of arms, but Roberts has been particularly awful. Not sure how Counsell can justify bringing him in when in a good position in extras. Roberts and Maton are both awful....at least Maton is unavailable. Too bad.

Edit: Counsell and Roberts bailed out by......Wicks???

Use your freaking challenge!

Jordan Wicks for MVP.

Disaster avoided.

Looking at the standings, last ten games Cubs 8-2. Can that be correct?

6-1 road trip. Hard to believe given the injury disasters, but true.

I guess $35MIL a year isn't enough to hustle. But at this point it pains me to say, he's still a better hitter than Shaw.

Not so sure. Bregman has almost 3 times as many AB with not a great deal more HR and RBI
AB Avg OPS HR RBI
Shaw 130 .246 ,737 4 20
Breg 322.239 .671 6 27

So are.our best two active pitchers are the scrap heap pick ups we used to beat the Brewers? Wowsers.

There you have it. Pretty clear at this point.
