Wells (2009):

No, game previews aren't back, at least not that I promise to always have them up. But they'll make appearances here and there. Lou changes up the lineup a bit tonight giving Colvin, Baker and Hill the starts and sitting Soriano, Fontenot and Soto. It looks like Xavier Nady will get a start in the outfield tomorrow as well against Homer Bailey. I assume Fukudome would sit, but Lou also said Nady will play left field at first, so I guess we'll find out tomorrow. Carlos Zambrano and Tom Gorzelanny have been flipped for the weekend series with Z going Saturday and Gorz being pushed to Sunday. Ted Lilly has also been pushed back in his rehab start in Iowa with a stiff back...he'll go on Sunday now.

A win sure would be nice tonight.

will start in RF tomorrow, the throws are shorter at GAB according to Lou

Marlon Byrd deposits a cement mixer slider into the bleachers and the Cubs have a 2-0 lead. *gasp* Might they win this game?

Bets on how soon we see Cashner in the Majors? Through 2 innings in tonight's AA game he has 6Ks and one 1 BB.

Lou - why are you using a meatball pitcher to pitch to McCann? ====== Jeff Gray did pitch a scoreless 9th for Iowa in a 6-3 loss

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    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.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

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

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

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

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    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.
