Cubs Friday (9/14) Start Pushed Back...

It should come back to bite him either in the regular season or the postseason or both. Right now, he can't possibly trust Edwards, Kintzler or Duensing. That leaves Cishek who's been overused, Wilson, Chavez, Rosario, De la Rosa, and maybe Alec Mills.

 

I doubt Rosario gets save opportunities. Cishek and Chavez probably, maybe Wilson if 2 of 3 are lefties. Strop was really the only reliever in their bullpen that was on another level. Morrow will probably be eased back into the role over the next week or 2 if he's effective. We'll see though. It would be nice if Hamels wasn't crazy good today and only went 4 or 5 innings.

Just saw that the Cubs have moved the start time back to 7PM after originally having scheduled a 1:20PM first pitch for Friday (one of the ways the Cubs have dealt with their limited night game allotments has been Friday afternoon starts).

 

I don't really care that much, but it seemed worth noting, and it did make me wonder about MLB policy regarding pitch times. It really seems like there should be a weather- or other contingency-related reason to make a switch on basically 36 hours notice.

 

Anyway, wasn't sure where to put it. Don't think it's a big deal and understand why they're doing it, but if anyone knows the MLB policy I'd be interested in it.

 

 

They announced this game start change while the Brewers were still playing in Chicago, so it was more than a 36 hour notice. I was kind of surprised they didn't move the game start on Wednesday with MKE up to 1:20 to give them extra travel time to DC since they had to travel there and turn around and come back right away.

Wednesday's game was on ESPN, so they couldn't move it. Otherwise I'm sure they would have.
