Gameday Open Thread / Padres @ Cubs

The Cubs host old friend Greg Maddux and the Pads, Thursday at 3:05 in Mesa. With his family's welfare in the balance, Jason Marquis will start for the Cubs. Marquis has allowed seven hits and two walks in two starts (5 IP) so far this Spring.

The game will be carried live on mlb.com Gameday Audio.

Also, if you haven't placed your bid on any of the CBOE seats, act now. The bidding ends at 3:00 pm.

I was wondering how best to spend this $80,000 bill I found on the street. Looks like I'll be bidding on some tickets.

Lincoln Holdzkom signs a one year deal and gets a 40-man spot. I guess there's comfort in knowing the Red Sox and Cubs value the same types of pitcher.

JVB needed to retire before he got smacked on the back of the head by a comebacker. COL tried to fix it, CHC let him use it again, BOS tried to fix it and then let him use it again...

Sorry, guys -- I'm blanking on "JVB". Who is that?

In reply to by mannytrillo

Thanks, manny -- I should've remembered. Premature senior moment.

Rob: The Red Sox will probably want to dip into the Cubs reliever pool one more time if Coco Crisp ever gets healthy enough to stir up more rumors.

Also amusing from that article is the following quote: "Francona said he conferred with Dustin Pedroia's wife Kelly before inserting him into the lineup. "Since I knew she wears the pants in that family, I asked 'Do I have your permission to put him in a game?' (She said) 'Yeah, I have to get him out of here.'" '

wrong link I believe...that's the same link to the top 20 young pitchers.

Alyssa Milano was smoking ass? That is odd.

Can't figure out if that's hot or not. I'm going with not, though.

Haha, Justin Verlander is probably nice, but he's just not my type.

the Cardinals in the Kyle Lohse pool? (from Rotoworld) Even though a deal is not yet done, free agent Kyle Lohse reportedly will take a physical for the Cardinals on Friday. Lohse is only requesting a one-year deal at this point, probably for $5 million or so. It's unclear whether he'd be an option for the rotation during the first couple of weeks of the season, but we're guessing he wouldn't be. The Cards still might need Anthony Reyes, Todd Wellemeyer and Brad Thompson as starters initially.

Parachat is up and Rob G is happy because Theriot is batting leadoff and Soriano is unable to get him to third with the first out of the inning.

Aram Ram sends one to the warning track in right, but Maddux gets out of the leadoff man on 2nd jam....first time that's ever happened.

Has Jody Gerut had any chances in CF? How's he look there?

no dlee panic yet...neat. it cant be far off...he's really close to .100...3 for 27 currently (.107) with 1 double. ichiro's "story" seems to be over. he got a hit today (1 for 25).

all ive heard positive is he's been damn impressive in BP. that can only take you so far, but its not like dlee's never shown he can hit...and he is managing to take a walk. if he's showing power somewhere that's good enough for me...for early/mid-march anyway.

    STL traded away a lot of minor league talent that went on to do nothing in the arenado + goldschmidt trades.  neither guy blocked any of their minor league talent in the pipeline, too.  that's ideal places to add talent.

    Natural cycle of baseball. Pitching makes adjustments in approach to counter a hot young rookie. Now it’s time for Busch and his coaches to counter those adjustments. Busch is very good and will figure it out, I think sooner than later.

    In 2020, the pandemic year and the year before they acquired Arenado, the Cardinals finished second and were a playoff team. Of the 12 batters with 100 plate appearances, 8 of them were home grown. Every member of the starting rotation (if you include Wainwright) and all but one of the significant relievers were home grown. While there have been a relative handful of very good trades interspersed which have been mentioned, player development had been their predominant pattern for decades - ever since I became an aware fan in the ‘70’s

    The Arenado deal was not a deal made out of dire need or desperation. It was a splashy, headline making deal for a perennial playoff team intended to be the one piece that brought the Cardinals from a very good team to a World Series contender. They have continued to wheel and deal and have been in a slide ever since. I stand by my supposition that that deal marked a notable turning point within the organization. They broke what had been a very successful formula for a very long time.

    busch is having a really intense k-filled mini slump.  he deserves better after coming back to wrigley after that hot road trip.

    i know alzolay isn't having a great time right now, but i trust hector "ball 4" neris even less than alzolay based on what i've seen coming out of their arms.

    Neris reminds me of Don “Full Pack” Stanhouse.

  • Eric S (view)

    Happ, Busch, Dansby and Madrigal have a combined 25 runners left on base through 7 innings, with Busch accounting for 9 of those.  Seems like a lot.

    PCA finally gets a hit!  2r HR!!!

  • Charlie (view)

    They certainly could be coupled. It could also be the case that a team needs good players at the heart of the team and if they are not coming from one source (development) they have to be sought out elsewhere. I don't see the evidence needed to infer the cause.

    bases loaded for the cubs, 0 out...and no runs score.

    cubbery.
