A couple other line up notes: I was thrilled to see Bryant and Rizzo batting 3-4 in AZ. I absolutely think that's notably better than having them 2-3. Give Bryant a chance to come up with people further down the base paths. Rizzo really seems off at the plate. A HR here or there, but tons of ground outs and DPs into the shift it seems.

Submitted by Childersb3 on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:26 pm

Bryant wants to hit in the 3 spot. Rizzo should hit 4th. Let zobrist hit 2nd like TLS did yesterday. This hoping we can hit like the 2016 WS Game 7 is just foolish. Let Avila hit ahead of Schwarber as well. Avila is the better hitter. Jay, Zobrist, KB, Rizzo, Avila, Schwarber, Heyward, Baez. Lefty, switch, righty, lefty, lefty, lefty, lefty, righty, pitcher. And play Happ instead of Zobrist. He might just have a collision with the ball and goes yard. Just like Schwarber. And, I bet Almora would hit rightys as good or better than Heyward.

the blue jays signed brett anderson because evidently there's some really primo crack cocaine going around toronto right now and the front office is all over it.

zobrist scratched with a stiff neck. la stella stepping in. great, now the cleanup hitter is injured. this season is sunk.

Submitted by crunch on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:39 pm

Q... wtf? bases loaded, 0 out in the 2nd...33 pitches in.

Submitted by The E-Man on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:39 pm

Wtf Quintana?! Can you get through 3 innings of a game without shitting yourself?!

Qubbery.

The doppelganger of "That's Cub" Just can't do this crap against one of the worst teams in baseball. He looks totally lost out there.

Submitted by Eric S on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:51 pm

Hell of a throw on the fly by Schwarber to get the second out at the plate - he's got an arm, accuracy has been an issue.

Submitted by blockhead25 on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:54 pm

Don't know how he got out of that only giving up 2 runs, but get him out of the friggin game. Burn our bullpen for the next week, better than the alternative.

Submitted by blockhead25 on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:57 pm

Just saw the error. He should have been pulled immediately after that play. Lazy, careless, dumb, shows his head isn't in the ballpark. He could have practically picked up the ball with his hand and walked home and stepped on the plate he had so much time.

Submitted by blockhead25 on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:24 pm

You can't knock Bryant when he is 10-12 and on base 14 of 16. But his approach really does change with RISP. You can tell he's pressing and expanding the zone. Friendly reminder to Cubs: 1st and 3rd no-outs, the pitcher is on the ropes...not you. You don't need to panic.

But wait, box score says he got on 4 times, 2 HPB, 1 walk and an error, I mean single into the shift. Oh, the guy playing there was the Reds pitcher with the 18.00 ERA. No wonder he was in short right. Schwarb is doing better, he has struck out 8 times in the last 3 games. In 12 AB. Ouch. 310 OBP this year so he has that going for him...

He can play like that and be helpful after all the better hitters, so bat him anywhere from 6 to 8 in the lineup against RHP. He pulled that HR in AZ and has been all pull-happy swinging for the fences again since. Dude just needs to grow up and hit to LF and up the middle all the time.

Submitted by blockhead25 on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:59 pm

Bryant hitting .310 (1.011 OPS) with none on, and .235 (.811) with RISP. So my eyes aren't deceiving me.

Submitted by Transmission on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:08 pm

Cubs presently playing a legit four-man outfield on Votto, with Bryant in Left Center.

Result, Votto lines one inside the 1B bag for a double.

Submitted by blockhead25 on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:18 pm

Maddon very generous in giving Q a chance for the win. 105 pitches 56 Strikes 49 Balls That's brutal. On the upside, so unpredictable they couldn't hit him.

Submitted by Eric S on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:43 pm

I never saw him pitch while with the White Sox so not familiar with how well his curveball has played in the past, but other than his first start with the Cubs (which was fantastic) he's really struggled with it in all facets -- guys are just spitting at it. Hope Bosio can help him regain command of it.

Submitted by Eric S on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:58 pm

JHey credited with two "hits" tonight - neither left the infield and both should have resulted in outs.

technically correct...the best kind of correct! that said, i don't even want to read 100+ articles about "heyward has a new swing! version 5" this offseason. he's a rather boring hitter that provides great support-type play for the bigger boys even at his best (10-15hr, 30 doubles, .350-ish ob%), but i think we're all expecting more out of his bat even with his improved 2017.

Submitted by Eric S on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:03 pm

And Monty with the two run double with the bases loaded - he immediately tells KB "that's how you do it with RISP!!!" :p

Submitted by billybucks on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:24 pm

It must really suck to be Joey Votto. I mean, other than the money. OPS the last 3 years: 1.000, .984 and 1.046 this year. And, in those years, the Reds lost 98, 94 and probably 95 this year.

Submitted by crunch on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:36 pm

scooter pitching for CIN! 67mph heat...odd ass side-arm whipping motion for a delivery. he's got very little control of it.

Submitted by billybucks on Mon, 08/14/2017 - 08:07 pm

Looking forward to Joe putting Zobrist back in the cleanup spot tomorrow. Sigh.

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    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). 

  • Childersb3 (view)

    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.

  • crunch (view)

    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
