I would have said for his glove, but I don't see it in there.

I guess he is more secure in his manhood than some people.  😉

Mark Gonzales  @MDGonzales  15m15 minutes ago
Maddon thinks everyone should turn the page on Contreras, says Contreras apologized and knows what he did wrong.

He knows what he did wrong?  How long did it take for him to figure that out?

Joe Maddon went the other way today re Willson Contreras not running out of the box on Sunday. Says too much piling on: “He apologized. It’s over.”

Did you expect Maddon to give him a belt whipping?

He does have a point.  What, exactly, is anybody supposed to do about this now?  Maddon criticized Contreras and Contreras apologized (whether he meant it or not).  It's kind of pointless to keep talking about it, isn't it?

Morrow has been shut down for the season.

I'm not going to be surprised if there's a big shake-up in the Cubs medical staff this offseason. The three biggest injury situations this year--Bryant, Darvish, and Morrow--all seem to have been handled in a less than ideal way.

Some talk about Webster getting called up.

The Cubs use Northwestern’s medical staff, I’m not sure if they can get better Chicago based doctors.

The head trainer has been around since 2012, so I guess he could be in some hot water.

Not a surprise with Morrow, but still - that sucks.  Once more we go into the postseason with a bullpen that's a huge question mark.

Theo identified a June 2 game v Mets that set Morrow back. He wasn’t sched to pitch but game went 14 innings. Said next year he told Morrow that when he’s down for the day he’s going to tell him to come to the park without his spikes. Was not kidding.


That could be interpreted in a couple of different ways...

FWIW, Bleacher Nation had an article this morning saying that Strop was hoping to get back for the last two games of the season so he can tune up for the playoffs. That would be a lift if that happened and he looked good.

A pitcher coming back too soon from a hammy problem?  Rick Sutcliffe on line 2.
