Only the Chicago Cubs can steal thunder from the Chicago Blackhawks in the middle of a game six Stanley Cup Championship game, with the chance to win a title.

Dan Vogelbach was the very first to break the news of Kyle Schwarber‘s promotion to the Major Leagues.

Congrats to my bash brother @kschwarb12 on the call to the show. Gonna miss my boy but couldn’t be more happy for a better dude. Go ball out — Daniel Vogelbach (@DanielVogelbach) June 16, 2015

This set twitter on fire wondering if this was really going to happen, then Jesse Rodgers confirmed the news.

Source confirms @kschwarb12 will be with the Cubs for 6 days to DH, etc. Then to Triple-A. — Jesse Rogers (@ESPNChiCubs) June 16, 2015

Schwarber has been destroying the baseball at Double A and has earned the call up to the Majors to see just what he can do against real pitchers. Without a real position, Schwarber will be the Cubs bat off the bench tomorrow, then will be the designated hitter in both Cleveland and Minnesota before being demoted back to Triple A Iowa.

I can honestly say that I am surprised as I did not think the Cubs would do something so gutsy. If he has great success, they will have a hard time convincing fans that his demotion to Iowa is the right.

What fans need to understand, is that Schwarber will not start any games during these six at any position other than the designated hitter against the Cleveland Indians in Cleveland and against the Minnesota Twins. The Cubs want to develop him as a catcher for the long run, despite what several scouts and fans seem to think his capabilities are.

While he is only getting a cup of coffee this go round, and fans should be ready for his demotion again next Monday no matter how well he does.

Theo on Schwarber: “Regardless of how this week goes, Kyle will head to Triple-A after Sunday’s game.” #Cubs — Patrick Mooney (@CSNMooney) June 16, 2015

This will not really have that large of an impact on his service time and will start his clock. All this will do is push back the date he can be called up to guarantee his seventh year by a total of six days in 2016.

Nothing but the best of luck to this kid with his first taste of Major League glory!
