2019-07-26: Cubs (Hendricks) at Brewers (González) [Brewers win, 3-2 -- Gio goes 6.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 9 SO before exiting with shoulder tightness; Gamel’s 2-RBI go ahead single in 8th is the game winner]

I think Wes Obermueller is now our last remaining healthy starting pitcher now.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Bet this is precautionary and he's fine.

For sure still rocking the high socks.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Did Drew Smyly cast some sort of bad juju spell on this team on his way to Philly?

[pacopete4]

This stuff is getting comical. Not sure how many more signs are needed to sell this season.

[adambr2]

Now Gio is hurt? Throw in the freaking towel if this is anything serious. It just can’t hold together if he goes to the IL. I can’t see it.

 

I like Gio Gonzalez as much as the next guy, but if he's the difference between going for it and throwing in the towel, we never had much of a shot anyway.

[folly412]

In what order should we schedule our starters? I'm thinking Davies, Anderson, Davies, Davies, Anderson.

Looks like 5 aces to me!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

We are going to get more Corbin Burnes starts, one way or another.

It’s the totality of calamities. Sure, Gio in isolation should not sink you, but Woody and Chacin and Nelson and nothing form Burnes or Peralta (as starters) and now Gio? Yeah, it feels like a death knell.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

When is he set to come back?

[pacopete4]

Maybe he’s hurt enough for us to get a discount going into next season. *Fingers crossed!

[Bulldogboy]

The Woodruff injury could turn out to be as untimely as the Nelson one was when it happened. It is a killer.

Well, if anything is wrong with Gio I think you've got to give Supak a shot now. You just have no choice.

 

Beyond that, I'm not sure. You can probably add a back end guy for relatively cheap, but you might as well just roll the dice on Burnes when he returns at this point and hope for the best.

[trwi7]

OT but Michael Blazek is back in the bigs. I didn't even know he still played baseball. Of course he's with the dumpster fire that is the Nats bullpen.

[adambr2]

I've given up on hoping Arcia will ever be anything special at all. We're in year 4 now.

 

Either you just live with who he is or look at dealing him and maybe either start looking at SS upgrades or give Dubon a shot.

I like what I hear about Supak, but has he even thrown a single pitch in AAA? Then he has to come up and be a hero in a playoff chase? How many pitchers can we psychologically damage in one season? I think you’re right, it’s probably their best option at this point, but if we’re hoping for much from him, we’re likely to be very disappointed.

Probably the worst hitting mechanics on the team including the pitchers.

[adambr2]

If that hit one of our pitchers it would have gone bounding into foul territory and ended up as an infield double, and our pitcher would have been out for a month. Just not our year.

[mtsportsfan]

What bad luck! Nice play by Baez. Need a dam hit. Amazing how

This offence can just get so cold.

The Arcia ship has sailed. The issue to me is as highly regarded as he was coming up no one in the organization had the guts to say you can't hit like that in the bigs son? Failure from the organization top to bottom.

[yourout]

Yelich is missing some really hittable pitches

[mtsportsfan]

Thank god for Yelich.

[HarveysWBs]

Finally broke the seal on this thing. Let’s go!
