2 Months of Mediocrity Looms

Submitted by Rob G. on

This last week was about as fun as mistaking Icy Hot for a tube of KY Jelly...painful and unsatisfying for all the parties involved.  Clearly my absence from TCR of late has greatly affected the morale of the Northsiders, so I'll suck it up and watch the game today. A loss would drop the Cubs back to .500 on the season, with just over a quarter of the season done.

Lou's desperation is showing batting Reed Johnson third versus a righty. If things get ugly again today, I recommend Derrek Lee taking a swing at Chris Young again just for good measure.

(Looks like a late lineup change, Hoff in, Johnson dropped to 5th)

Soriano LF
Eckstein 2B
Theriot SS
Hairston CF
Hoffpauir 1B
A. Gonzalez 1B
Bradley RF
 Kouzmanoff 3B
Johnson CF Hundley C
Fontenot 2B
 Headley LF
Soto C
 D. Macias RF
Scales 3B Wilson SS
Lilly P
 Young P

Join the crew in Parachat today, let's stew in our misery together.

I wouldn't be so frustrated with this PIECE OF SHIT offense if it seemed like they were taking a good approach to their at bats and just having bad luck. But the fourth inning alone is a microcosm of why these Cubs absolutely SUCK right now: Soriano swings at a pitch two feet outside. Hoffpauir swings at a 3-0 pitch and pops it up. The Cubs will continue to score 1-2 runs a game (if they're lucky) if that bullshit continues. As a personal note to myself...I can no longer allow this crap to ruin my day.

This is 3/44 but... Jason Schmidt on a rehab assignment vs the Isotopes was hit in the head by a pitch and had to be taken to a local hospital. K-Rod left game yesterday in severe pain from back spasms, probably will go to the dl The Cubs offense, recently missing in action, was found on a southern california highway DOA as roadkill

Our lineup today features an entire infield 2-6 of former Cubs farmhands all of whom were never expected to amount to anything, a center fielder who was dfa'ed by his previous employer, a mental case in RF, and an aging spoiled superstar in left. What's not to love?

    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.

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

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

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

    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.

    i have no hard data, but i'm seeing the same thing.

    there used to be some parks where that was rampant (colorado during the todd helton days comes to mind), but i'm seeing it all over the place the past couple seasons.

    I’ll spare the details which I’ve stated before but, in short, the Cardinals have lost their sight of their successful identity and strategy over last several dominant decades. From the beginning of the season I saw the Cardinals being in last place or near it again this year, and my prediction is that Mozeliak will be gone after the end of the season.

    I would have kept Cooper rather than Wisdom, but at least I can understand why they did it.  In a team that lacks dominant power hitters, Wisdom can be a dominant power hitter, at least in streaks.  I suppose that there is always the possibility that the streaks longer in both duration and frequency.  I will be content if they essentially make a 100 % DH commitment to Mervis against righties and Wisdom against lefties.  When a regular needs rest, give them total rest, rather than a DH rest.  Do this for at least 2 months, and then re-evaluate at that point.

    This is Cubs adjacent but…


    Jordan Walker just was optioned by the deadbirds. For all the talk of the Cardinals development machine, they’ve really missed on a lot of can’t miss superstars lately. Walker has struggled. Gorman has been okay. They’re already trying to push Carlson out the door. Their pitching system has been so bad they had to go out and sign basically a full rotation over the last two offseasons.

    They’ve still developed a few of those pesky solid players, like Donovan, Edman, and Nootbaar. Their two best prospect to MLB players have been Adolis and Arozarena, neither of which is a cardinal.

    I hope they never figure it out again. Cardinal failure brings me such joy.
