Red Sox averaging 5.7 runs per game at home this year...

Currently being shut out by James (24.62 ERA in his last 4 games) Shields through the first 3 innings because...baseball.

Gonna be some angry DFS owners if they stacked the Red Sox lineup today (if it lasts).

"Tommy Birch ‏@TommyBirch Hearing that Iowa native Tyler Peyton is supposed to be in Arizona this week to undergo a physical. If all goes well, will sign with #Cubs." 29th round pick.

Willson batting cleanup and playing first base tonight. Has played catcher all season so far.

Joe Nathan has been sent to Tenn. on a rehab assignment. Ian Happ has been promoted to Tenn.

Just brainstorming: 1) If Cubs are going to play a catcher at 1B, why not just gear him up and call it second home plate and see if they can trick Lester into throwing there every now and again. 2) Between Lester on the mound, and a catcher at 1B, bunting might be lucrative for the Marlins. 3) Barry Bonds looks deflated. I mean physically.

1- brilliant 2- if miami was a team with decent runners i'd be more scared...or if they get guys on 1st and 2nd with less than 2 outs 3- yes...he could use a roid re-up wow...miami's running game is even weaker than i thought. stolen bases is a lazy way to gauge running quality, but tonight's lineup has 7 SBs on the year and it's only 2 guys. they have 19 total SB and 6 of those are d.gordon...and 6 are ichiro. only 4 guys on the roster all season have successfully stolen a base and 1 is suspended.

David Fuckin Ross!!!

That Baez almost-out defensive play was bonkers.

Submitted by Brick on Thu, 06/23/2016 - 06:41 pm

Guys, I've decided to focus on the first awesome two and a half months instead of this disastrous end to the season. Remember Arrieta's no-no, Contreras's first-ever-pitch HR, all the amazing defensive gems by Baez? We'll get 'em next year!

Submitted by Eric S on Thu, 06/23/2016 - 06:41 pm

Yeesh. Shut down innings a thing of the past for the Cubbies Not the best of nights for Russell - should of nailed Stanton at second on Ross's throw but mishandles it ... so of course Stanton comes around and scores as well

poop. 4 losses in a row for the 1st time this season.

Submitted by The E-Man on Thu, 06/23/2016 - 06:02 pm

9 runs in 4 games. Zobrist slumping. Russell having a tough time. Almora not a contact guy. They miss Fowler big time. Bring the A-Team back.

Joe: "I loved the way we brought it today, man. We'll take this every night and win a lot of ballgames like that. Losing 4 in a row...that's nothin'."

The Cubs are currently down Schwarber, Fowler, Soler, and Rizzo and Montero appear to be day-to-day. Maybe not surprising that they are struggling a bit as they rely more than expected on Baez, Russell, Almora, Contreras, and Szczur to provide offensive value.

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.
