McCullers back on the mound

No fracture, feeling better, but.being held out. So, maybe back next year.

Just bruised and sore.

eta: from Chandler Rome

Jeremy Peña is feeling better, but Joe Espada said “I’m going to do everything I can to keep him away from today’s game.” Peña will get treatment and do some baseball stuff.

…also word is he’s 2nd in MLB in bWAR behind Judge

So probably gotta be happy getting what, 4 IP’d out of LMJ today? Bullpen has to be running on fumes. But… with LMJ returning, does that mean gusto would be available out of the pen today as well?

I imagine it’ll be back to a 6-man rotation

Somebody on twitter used to post a pic of the actual lineup card, that would tell you.

We do have an off day Monday, and then play 9 straight.

Bullpen has been carrying a heavy load of late, as Billy said.

Lance miraculously gets back to the mound after that slide to 1st for the out.

He’ll need hip replacement surgery tomorrow.

Caratini is always McCullers’ catcher. I wonder if that’s Lance’s preference or Espada’s?

You get a walk, you get a walk, everyone gets a walk.

3 straight walks and not a fastball was thrown

Cept I got a headache

Paredes’s elbow pad is a magnet for pitches

I just realized, I still hate the Cubs.
