this fine with me but Bote had a good day yesterday and now he sits so where is the outrage about that? I am for trying anything but seems strange to just have no comments about it.
heard on the broadcast it was due to a matchup with the pitching

Evidently JD said Busch has been getting pre-game reps at 2B and 3B.

I wouldn’t hate a world where he was a super utility.
I think they want him to be the lefty option at a couple spots. 2nd will for the most part go away when Nico returns.

If Nico goes to the IL Vasquez needs to play nearly every day either at 2B, give Swanson a day off at SS or even a start at 3B to see how he does.

Went to the I Cubs game Sunday where both Canario and Caissie homered. Those 2 guys along with Davis are swinging hot bats right now and it's a damn shame there is not a logical move to give 1 of them some regular AB in Chicago right now.

Brown is going to reach an innings limit at some point this season anyway. This could explain why he’s hung a couple of curveballs recently. Wicks or Wesneski can take his place in the rotation for a couple of weeks.

2016 must have been God saying I will give you ONE but now here is another 108 years of torture.
