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.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    one walk (B. Davis)

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP

    wall stole a HR from busch...double.  nice to see him destroy a curve ball.

    upon further viewing, that might not have been a homer in too many parks...it had a lot of hang time, though.

    I’m at the game—woot!

    If the streak breaks, it’s not my fault.
