Guess who's hitting .448 with 2 homers in 29 ABs vs Hendricks....

I hear TBD is really tough.

TBD is a crafty lefty.

You are both right.   TBD is Justin Steele.   He IS lefthanded and he has a 2.65 ERA.

Coming off the IL after a forearm injury.

I'll be there for this game too!    Of course I'm at Wrigley every game since I work as a vendor there.   I'll be in Cub gear but am a die hard O's fan for the last 50 years or so.   

So, you're a spy.

Game 2 Preview...

https://www.mlb.com/gameday/orioles-vs-cubs/2023/06/17/717729/preview

LHP. I'm taking a wild guess for tomorrow's lineup...

1. Hays LF

2. Rutschman C

3. Santander RF

4. O'Hearn 1B

5. Hicks CF

6. Urias 3B

7. Henderson DH

8. Mateo SS

9. Ortiz 2B

 I wouldn't want McCann to DH under any circumstances with his lousy .169 On Base Percentage against Left Handed Pitchers.  They keep trotting him out against LHP but he's shown to be worst against LHP than he is against RHP this season. Another possibility is taking Henderson out of DH, putting McKenna in RF, and having Santander DH. At least McKenna's split vs LHP is average enough to get by. McKenna has a servicable .713 OPS vs LHP.  Far better than McCann's.  But would choose Gunnar and his power potential over McKenna and McCann. And O'Hearn has been on a big hot streak so I'd keep him in the lineup.

Let's take 2.

I'd like to start with 1. The Cubs are on fire.

Turns out you were right. I checked my phone for the score and it was 2-1 Cubs after the first inning, turns out I was dreaming, I hope I am wrong.

Swept by the lowly Cubbies. Yeesh.
