Lester held the Mets off the board for 7 innings on Wednesday but didn’t get the win in a game the Cubs won 2-0. His last win was on May 16. He beat STL on the road (7 IP, 1 ER) during his string of four wins in May. He is 1-1 with a 3.18 against them this year. The Cards are 38-111 (.319) against him. Heyward is 8-15 (.533) with a HR.

Lackey lost at home against the White Sox his last time out (7 IP, 2 ER). He is 1-0 (14.2 IP, 3 ER) versus the Cubs so far this year. Coghlan is 8-14 (.571) against him.

Hold on to your hats… and your lunch.

Go Cubs!

fowler finally finds his way out of the leadoff spot after having a .204/.282/.351 slash over 2+ months now (may 1st+). thanks dusty.

lester taking a no-hitter into the 6th. this message brought to you by parachat peer pressure.

Wong makes the play, Bryant makes the error, they get the runners in, we don't...every damn game against these guys.

Although, this is starting to feel more like Bulls-Bad Boy Pistons than Bears-Rodgers Packers. They are literally one play away in almost every game and it feels like a breakthrough is imminent. Pistons beat up Scottie until he grew up, Cards are doing the same thing to Addison right now. They toyed with him in STL and also tonight when runners are on base. Hopefully, he can step it up. Soon.

Ejax does the impossible -- lowers his trade value, which was already zero. Well, no sense in burning a real reliever in a game the Cubs weren't going to win anyway. Although, it would have been good to force the Cards to use their closer the day before a DH. But, as with all things Cubs-Cardinals...it went the Cardinals way.

fowler back in the leadoff spot for game 1 of the doubleheader vs lefty t.lyons. soler 4th...montero hitting 7th...russell sits for herrera.

Submitted by crunch on Tue, 07/07/2015 - 07:52 am

with lester's 3sb allowed last night he passed his single-season SB-allowed mark of 22 with 24 SB...in his 17th game of the season. it was his 5th 3-SB game of the season. that said, the leads runners are taking seem to be killing him more than the SB. combined, it's free bases all over the place.

Matt Garza on the 15 day DL with shoulder tendonitis. He has a history of getting injured just before the trade deadline as I recall.

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I don’t see Tauchman as a weak link in any position. He simply adds his value in a different way.

    I don’t know that we gain much by putting him in the outfield - Happ, Bellinger and Suzuki and Tauchman all field their positions well. If you’re looking for Taucnman’s kind of AB in a particular game I don’t see why it can’t come from DH.
