“Obviously, we’re playing short-handed, and I think that’s very clear — we’re not going to be playing short-handed going forward,” Hoyer said Thursday. “ … For the next couple months, we’re going to have to play short-handed and give a lot of opportunities, and my guess is that we’ll find some interesting things over the next two months. But those will be probably individual one-off things that we can use going forward, and it’s exciting to be able to let these guys have opportunities to play and to prove that.”
The Bears offense was playing without wide receivers Allen Robinson and Marquise Goodwin, and running back David Montgomery had one carry before leaving the game. Fields was throwing to mostly second stringers rather than Darnell Mooney, Jimmy Graham and Cole Kmet, though he did play several of his series behind the starting offensive line. Such absences didn’t help Fields early.

As the Cubs enter the COVID-19 hotspot, all eyes are on team President Jed Hoyer. To Hoyer’s credit, he has not misled fans by giving any indication it will be a quick fix, pointing to the uncertainty caused by the expiring collective bargaining agreement, which could reset rules on luxury taxes and draft compensation, not to mention adopting a universal DH. There also could be a lockout, which Hoyer did not bring up.
Schwarber also flied out to right in the fifth and struck out in the seventh. He was 0-for-2 as the DH in the six spot, but his presence might’ve helped spark the bottom of the lineup. Kevin Plawecki, Duran and Dalbec each had at least two hits and Dalbec drove in three, adding a sixth-inning homer.

“It’s basketball,” he said. “Lot of people I see criticizing, talking about ‘fit this, fit that,’ have probably never even played basketball. Being a basketball player, you go out, play at the park, some of your best teams are (with) guys you don’t even know that you go out there and compete with.
