Zobrist has been on a leave of absence for personal reasons. Both Maddon and Epstein have declined to say what the reason for him leaving but Maddon did states it might have effected his play this season. However there is an article that might indicate that Zobrist and his wife are having possible marital issues.

Mrs. Zobrist just realized that Ben's big paychecks are coming to an end and that he will soon be living in "her" house for 12 months out of the year.

I know figuring this out is like holding sand in your hands but what are the chances Cishek can hold the job for the rest of the season? Strop and Morrow have been far from reliable whether due to injuries or ineffectiveness. I think theres a decent shot here.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

Strop had a 2.53 era and 0.75 whip with a decent K rate before the game where the injury occurred. So, i'm thinking Strop gets the job back when healthy. I also think that a healthy Morrow will need to be eased back by pitching in low leverage situations after his elbow surgery and won't close until next season. I expect Cishek to go back to a setup and fill-in closer role when Strop returns. Of course, if the Cubs sign Kimbrel, then all bets are off.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it.

7-out save by Cishek! I think he's the closer for the rest of the season unless he gets hurt or they trade for a stud. He has 129 career saves.Last edited by DMT; 05-19-2019, 11:54 PM.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing.
