We are due for offensive explosion - and I fully trust Charlie to keep those scrubs off of the scoreboard.
Go Cubs Go!!
 
Can someone explain to me what happened to Contreras and why we’re keeping one of our better hitters tied to the bench?

Acuna’s knee hurts, Contreras can’t play LF, and we don’t have a third catcher on the active roster. I’m assuming the starting pitchers feel a little better with TDA but I haven’t looked at the numbers.

I'd imagine this is all about having Acuna ready to play defense every day in the playoffs. Get him healthy enough to do that, and you'll be able to platoon Grossman and Grissom in LF and have Contreras DH so you can have ALL the bats in there.
 
I expect albies back at 2b on Friday night. I wonder if they just run Grissom out to lf then or send him to Gwinnett to play lf to get ready
