Third game in a row with this lineup. I think it's the first time this year that that has happened.

MICHAEL BARRETT (concussion) on the 15 Day DL after being hit in the head the second time this week. San Diego's record since the trade 21-25 Cub's record since the trade 28-17 Michael Barrett batting since the trade June 20: July .250 .250 .339 Aug .150 .190 .150 Post All-Star Game .186 .200 .237 / 0 HR / 3 RBI

Submitted by cubswinthepennant on Sat, 08/11/2007 - 08:02 pm

Oh yeah, Michael Barrett will be replaced on the roster by this catcher: 296 AB, 29 HR, 72 RBI, 54 BB from AAA.

and the cubs let another sub-par pitcher off the hook in the first inning. and that was the highlight of the evening. i'm sure looking ahead to the rich hill playoff starts. the ones where he drives in his own runs. good thing this is only 1 game; bad thing is the brew-has finally won a game the same day the cubs were losing one. seems like a month since the gap was more than a game.

Howry will close at times but Demp will still get the bulk of the closing opportunities.

Submitted by Rob G. on Sun, 08/12/2007 - 08:13 am

the voice of reason among Chicago's press corps with this bit... Deal unlikely: Despite breathless reports out of the electronic media Friday, it seems highly unlikely the Cubs will swing a waiver trade with the White Sox for outfielder Scott Podsednik.

JAKE FOX hit (3)three(3) home runs last night. Drove in 6. GEO. SOTO hit his 20th!. Bring 'em up.

Submitted by dave on Sun, 08/12/2007 - 08:50 am

i’m sure looking ahead to the rich hill playoff starts. the ones where he drives in his own runs. You do know that before last night, Hill has an ERA under 3 in the second half, right? Gosh, didn’t Matt Murton save us today? Neither did Lee, DeRosa, Theriot, Fontenot, etc. No one thinks that Murton will win every game for the Cubs. Stop being silly.

Submitted by Pell Mell on Sun, 08/12/2007 - 08:50 am

Hey, I just talked to that straw man No is always complaining about. He couldn't post because he was too busy making a diorama of Murton's most recent home run for his Murton shrine, but he wanted me to make sure to mention to you all that Murton is the greatest outfielder of all time, and that he should be given a 15-year, $380B contract with a $400M signing bonus.

Mr Az Phil, was just wondering if you attended the Mesa game last evening, because I heard our 12 th rounder Ryan Acosta made his debut, if you did, wondered what you thought? Also have you seen anymore of Guyer and it looks like our 14th rounder Russell will be there soon.

Submitted by Rob G. on Sun, 08/12/2007 - 08:36 am

anyone figure out why Lou was yelling at Sinatro on that infield single that Murton got called out on? yelled at him when he went out to argue and in the dugout said something like "do your job" to Sinatro.

another Wood comeback story... http://www.dailysouthtown.com/sports/507267,121SPT6.article It was a Monday morning. The Friday before, Wood had a bad pitching session. More pain than he would have liked growled in the shoulder. He spent the weekend at Wrigley Field and was ready to head back to Phoenix to get back to his rehab work at the Fischer Sports Medicine facility. In the back of his mind, he thought his career was over. "I had a horrible Friday, and I came up (to Wrigley) to pick up my stuff and said goodbye to the guys," Wood said. "I wasn't expecting anything good." That Monday in Phoenix, Wood was all set to hang it up. There was just this little business of throwing one more session to take care of, then he could call it a career. "I went in that Monday morning, I went in thinking this was it -- I was probably going to have surgery at the end of the week," Wood said. "I went in to go throw and see how it felt. Give it one more shot. I honestly expected (it was over) that day. I was ready to call (general manager Jim Hendry) and let him know what was going on."

#19- You do know that before last night, Hill has an ERA under 3 in the second half, right? the gist of my comment, dave, is that for whatever reason, starts by rich hill do not lead to chicago cubs victories. whether he pitches well or poorly, with or without soriano, with or without aram, with or without barrett and bowen and hill and kendall, the result is negative for the club. his most recent 10 starts, as per espn.com, show a team record of 4-6 with a personal record for hill of 1-3 with 6 no decisions. for the entire year, the cubs are 9-14 when hill starts. this, for me, inspires little confidence. in the team, not solely rich hill. team success is the standard and the goal, at least in my eyes. you may have a different take on things. these are merely one man's observations. make of them what you wish.

#22 rob- lou was pissed that sinatro did not make a big stink about the out call on murton, as per sunday trib. lou also said "that's not why we lost; we lost because they put up 13 runs in 3 innings".

Submitted by The Real Neal on Sun, 08/12/2007 - 08:15 am

Nice to see Murton has Pinhead on his side, at least for three games.

Submitted by carmenfanzone on Sun, 08/12/2007 - 08:19 am

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Lou doesn't start stretching out Dempster in hopes of eventually starting him. I think we'll see some 2, maybe 3 inning appearances from him. I'm more surprised that the media isn't making a bigger deal out of this.

Submitted by cubswinthepennant on Sun, 08/12/2007 - 08:22 am

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Lou doesn’t start stretching out Dempster in hopes of eventually starting him. We need a long man, not another starter.

Submitted by Rob G. on Sun, 08/12/2007 - 08:29 am

Dempster and Marmol have been our 2 best relievers this year, doesn't really matter what inning they're used to me. I really think they're just trying to give Dempster more work and without a lefty anymore, going to play matchups a little differently i.e, in need of a groundball or K, Dempster would come in - in need of getting a lefty, use Howry, etc. Dempster does need more work though.

Submitted by dave on Sun, 08/12/2007 - 08:38 am

the gist of my comment, dave, is that for whatever reason, starts by rich hill do not lead to chicago cubs victories. And it has little to do with Rich Hill. For some reason the Cubs give Rich Hill terrible run support (2nd worst in the league). That is hardly Hill's fault. Even last night, Rich Hill pitched pretty well and things got away from him in the 6th. I really am not worried about him.

Submitted by cubswinthepennant on Sun, 08/12/2007 - 08:47 am

Again, we need a long reliever. Isn't "stretching Dempster out" a nice way to say "long reliever"...

Submitted by Chad on Sun, 08/12/2007 - 08:46 am

RE #24 Oh DC, you done did it now. You brought up the idea that perhaps a team doesn't respond well to a certain pitcher. But there is no stat for that so no one here will believe it exists. I do. But there aren't many more. Also Rich Hill shows why he's s freaking frustrating. He just can't get that last out. I think he'll figure it out but he doesn't have it this year.

    Things I've been wrong about:

    -Tauchman is fine as a 4th OF. I knew that. I just want a better LH DH option and he was really the DH for us until Seiya got hurt. I'm glad Mervis is getting a chance at it. Caissie is coming for that job for sure. But Tauchman continues to be highly useful as a 4th OF with Seiya being hurt

    -I wanted Yency to go to get guys at Iowa a chance. Guys like Palencia and Sanders or RileyT. Maybe even Hodge! But Yency has been better the last two plus weeks. He did hit 96 the other day. He was 93 in Texas to open the season.

    -Leiter has his split working enough. It just needs to stay there

    -I was surprised Jed picked Wisdom over Cooper. I wonder if this happens if Seiya wasn't hurt. Wisdom has more power. Cooper is the better hitter. Jed picked Wisdom and Wisdom had an option left as well.

    -Palencia just doesn't miss enough bats. Similar to ManRod, just two yrs younger. ManRod is killing AAA for TB right now!

    Things I got right so far:

    -Hendricks. Sorry Kyle. You got paid though!

    Jed, you missed there.

    -Smyly. If Jed could've traded him before or during ST, then he should have and saved some cash.

    -Mastro.  Not a LH DH. Pinch runner. Defensive utility. Maybe he's better than Madrigal but didn't get a legit chance to prove it.

    -Luke Little is good. He's had one bad outing. That's it. Needs to get better entering with guys on base. But he needs to stay in MLB.

    -Oh yeah....Morel is doing fine at 3B! He'll get better as well!!

    bellinger "right rib contusion"

  • Childersb3 (view)

    South Bend just lost the lead in the bottom of the 9th on the weirdest scenario, ever.

    It's absolutely pouring rain....men on 1st and 2nd, 1out....JPatterson asks for a new ball, but no time out was called....he throws the old ball toward the dugout (not sure if it rolled out of play).....the ump declares the runners get two bases each so one run scores. Then a single up the middle ties the game.

    The rain was coming down in buckets at this point.

    Just weird

  • crunch (view)

    ...and bellinger is gone in the 7th because of that 2nd blown chance and the wall he bounced off of...

    hopefully his rib cage/shoulder feels better tomorrow, we just got happ back.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Phil,

    Any thoughts on Y. Rojas' stuff and Y. Melendez's game (I believe I've asked about him before, sorry)?

  • crunch (view)

    wow, things are moving fast.  hopefully it continues.

  • crunch (view)

    morel with 4 clean plays in 4 innings...showed off his 100000000mph arm a couple times.

    cody bellinger not having a good 4th, though...5 run leads are handy when your CF is making your pitcher have a 5-out inning.  2nd blown chance was ruled a hit even though it went in/out of his glove...1st was lost in the lights, also ruled a hit.

  • crunch (view)

    welcome back happ!  double off the wall 1st PA back.

  • crunch (view)

    oh yeah, totally, i was just chiming about why i fan like i fan.

    i would like nothing more than hendricks to keep on hendricks'ing.  guys with his stuff can throw for a long, long time as long as it works.

    he velocity is actually up a minor amount this year.  it's really "damn" when a guy like him not only has gas in the tank, but it's looking like it was years ago.  he added a curve a few years ago and it helped a little bit, but he's throwing it less and less while the fb/change combo are less effective.

    CRUNCH—There is no one person in this community I’m talking about.  My remarks were not directed at you or anyone, but at a tone I’ve noticed lately. 

    You have a great, dry sense of humor and there is thought behind your comments.   You and I don’t always agree but I always understand your position.  

    Lastly, and I’ll be quiet, I agree with you on Hendricks.  We can dislike the recent performance but still love the guy.  Lots of questions about his future.
