Game Chat : BR Preview : Game Notes Steve Trachsel vs. Matt Morris Lineups:
Soriano LF Morgan CF
Theriot SS McLouth LF
Lee 1B Sanchez 2B
Ramirez 3B LaRoche 1B
Murton RF Bautista 3B
Jones CF Pearce RF
DeRosa 2B Paulino C
Kendall C Wilson SS
Trachsel P Morris P
Notes: This is a match-up between veteran righties who started the season pitching for eventual bottom-dwellers. Trachsel left Baltimore to join a division leader; Morris left San Francisco only to land on a different part of the bottom...Morris is one of those pitchers I think of as a proverbial Cub-killer, and he has had his moments against us. Still, over his last five starts versus the Cubs, Morris is 0-5, 7.86, allowing 46 hits and 7 HR in just 26 1/3 innings, which sounds an awful lot like batting practice...Trachsel last pitched for the Cubs against the Bucs in July of '99, in a game the Pittsburghs would win 6-1. I'd say it's time for revenge. Let's win this one for Tyler Houston!

The Cub Reporter gets stiffed again. http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/chi-mxa0909magcubsfansep09,1,306… "BCB is not the only game in town. The many other Cubs blogs, with names such as Agony and Ivy, Goat Riders of the Apocalypse, Cub Fan Nation, Bleacher Hideaway and View from the Bleachers, are testaments to the fact that everybody talks about the Cubs, but unlike the weather, everyone seems to know what to do about them." Typical. Lists like that are dead giveaways that the writer doesn't know what he's talking about. Agony and Ivy, for example, has had two posts since May... Cubs Fan Nation with a total of two posts all year is part of Goatriders which is also on the list... YEESH

Joe Sheehan from Baseball Prospectus' update on the NL East from Friday: http://tinyurl.com/36kx3e his interpretation of run differential discussion is interesting, I doubt if that is universally agreed up on though. ------- "Now, I’ll be the first one to tell you that run differential is both a better indicator of team quality and a better predictor of future performance than actual record is. Other than the impact of a particularly good or bad--or well-leveraged--bullpen, teams don’t show an ability to bunch their runs scored and allowed in ways that affect their won-loss record. At the same time, while a team’s run differential is a critical indicator of quality and long-term outlook, it’s less useful in predicting short-term performance. In fact, you can take that idea one step further: a baseball team’s performance over its next 23 games is virtually unpredictable, by whatever means you'd try to make one." and his conclusion... "I liked the Cubs in February, April, June and August, and I’m sticking with them now. Sometimes, the best team wins, and the Cubs have the best team."

Thanks for nothing CINC. First 3 batters for MIL gets HR's and the first 5 guys get hits. UGH!!!!!!!

And CWTP: thanks for the support. Speaking for myself, at least, I'll take a loyal core of TCR'ers over recognition from the Tribute. (And again speaking for myself, I really do wonder if we've just done enough to irk the Tribune that they're making a point of not referencing us.... That's sort of a cooler theory than the one that says they're not even aware of our existence.)

Thanks for nothing CINC. First 3 batters for MIL gets HR’s and the first 5 guys get hits. UGH!!!!!! As it turned out I believe the Brewers went back to back HR-HR-HR-single-single-single in that inning. The starter Dumatrait was removed after pitching 0.0 innings. I was pissed at the Reds for starting a batting practice pitcher against our rival in the pennant race until I remembered that he started against us too--- and tried his best to give us a win, lasting only 2.0 innings with 5 earned runs. Lilly stunk that day and the Reds won 11-9. Just looked at his game log and he also started against St.Louis so it looks like Cincinnati has been fair to us all.

It should of Since you're back mannytrillo, could we have a moratorium on this malaprop---at least until the season is over (which may be today)? it's a contraction: SHOULD'VE Meanwhile, Kevin Hart (who was the Cubs MILB organization's suggestion to take over for Marshall) takes over for Trashel (Hendry and Lou's idea). And he strikes out two in the third....no runs.

CWTP: "Since you’re back mannytrillo, could we have a moratorium on this malaprop—at least until the season is over (which may be today)? it’s a contraction: SHOULD’VE" Thanks professor Pennant... I didn't realize the grammor police we're steel in full effect hear at TCR.

why didn't marshall come in directly after trachsel? when is he going to start again? why was he removed? what the F is going on?

Grammar police?? You're not making a grammatical or even a spelling error, mannytrillo. I could care less about grammar and spelling mistakes. What you're doing is just stupid and annoying. "Should of" is a malapropism. It sounds like what you mean, but so does "should dove." But I won't mention it again. It's just painful to read.

*“I liked the Cubs in February, April, June and August, and I’m sticking with them now. Sometimes, the best team wins, and the Cubs have the best team.”* Right, because the best team is the one stupid enough to go add Monroe & Trachsel and think "Well, that'll do it!".

    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
