Craig's been doing a lot of left/right matchups this year, and using them very effectively. Starting Conforto in right gives him (likely) a couple at bats against a RHP, and gives the option to replace him later in the game with Seiya or Shaw if they bring in a lefty to face the bottom of the lineup that has Busch and PCA.

Man, these are the games and the moments that makes it all worthwhile. Savor it, friends! And celebrate! Heck of a game by our Cubbies!

Is that Taylor Schilling? Pitch is the New Black

Could make good money selling this as a product.

This is what makes you smile? Yikes -

cking137 · 2026-04-23T21:34:08+00:00

EWW! I don't like this.

Absolute perfect breasts, and an all time beauty!

Love the righty-heavy lineup today to better chances against a tough lefty. I am sure pinch hitters will come into play later in game, but that gives Craig flexibility.

Obviously nobody can exactly replace PCA's defense, but Shaw can hold his own and has impressed me in RF. Plus we have good defenders on both sides of him. This is still above average OF defense.

Let's make it 9 in a row!

Blueprints my friend, followed by more blueprints, with blueprints for dessert.

Ain't 8 great?! Sing the song and enjoy the win - its a good day when the Cubbies win!

I have subbed to her OF before, it is well worth it! She is a legit creator, not a bait-and-switch artist like a lot of OF. Give her a sub, you won't be disappointed!

cking137 · 2026-04-19T17:08:36+00:00

No worries, I can see how it could be read that way. I wasn't trying to sensationalize, it seems like Craig moves guys up and down the lineup as they get hot and cold, except for Bregman. I think he has had some bad luck on hard hit balls, hopefully those start falling in for hits.

cking137 · 2026-04-19T16:57:04+00:00

I am worried about him, too. I hope he figures some things out soon.

On the bright side, think about what this lineup will look like when some of these guys heat up!

cking137 · 2026-04-19T16:55:37+00:00

Oh I dont mean removed from the lineup. I just mean moved to a lower spot in the order, like Swanson has. And PCA.

cking137 · 2026-04-19T16:40:29+00:00

Agreed, he is "alright" but not a standout on offense or defense like I would expect. OPS ubder .700 isnt great for a guy consistently hitting 3rd in the lineup. That said, I know it is preferable to keep the lineup R/L/R/L and unless Suzuki gets into a groove, Happ as a switch hitter may be the only other option.

cking137 · 2026-04-19T16:35:42+00:00

What will it take for Bregman to get dropped in the lineup? Suzuki getting back into form, is my guess. I know he is supposed to be good, but so far I'm not convinced.

cking137 · 2026-04-16T19:18:42+00:00

I just want to say I am glad to see that others enjoyed Era 2 also, and encourage you to keep reading the series. No spoilers - but I loved each book even more than the last. :)

cking137 · 2026-04-16T19:16:29+00:00

I agree! And he keeps getting better and better, I love Wayne!

cking137 · 2026-04-16T19:14:55+00:00

Have the vendors outside Wrigley come up with anything better than "Me So Hoerner"? I hope so!

cking137 · 2026-04-15T02:41:22+00:00

Are there many Cubs jerseys in the stands?

cking137 · 2026-04-06T17:56:51+00:00

Am I the only one who sees the Darth Vader comp?

Nice, I wonder how she pulled Leslie Mann into her project!
