Looks Like We're Temporarily Losing our .500 Hitter

Submitted by Cubnut on

Per Paul Sullivan and Enrique Rojas of ESPN Desportes, who tipped it late last night on Twitter, the Cubs are expected to disable Steve Clevenger--yes, 11-for-22 and 1249 OPS-hitting Steve Clevenger--because of "tightness in his side." Sullivan says Clevenger felt the discomfort during batting practice before Friday night's unmerciful thrashing of Roy Halladay.

Welington Castillo, hitting .320 with 2 HR and 8 RBI at Iowa, will get the call-up.

As our resident medical man, Cubster, said in the comments to the previous post, "Not officially an oblique strain but as close as it gets."

Dempster back Thursday vs. Cincy

Submitted by Cubster on Sat, 04/28/2012 - 04:51 pm

per Muskat tweet...
Clevenger flew back to Chicago for treatment of right oblique.
and
Castillo starts and bats 8th
per ESPN tweet (Levine or Padilla)...
Clevenger says it's a right oblique strain on the last swing of BP last night. He's headed back to Chicago now.
and
Soto upper back tightness. Nothing major. Castillo will start for him though.

my love of kevin millar cannot be explained so i'll just hold back on that one... it's nice to hear from harold reynolds (that one might be even more of a personal taste than millar). matt vagbag is awesome...greg anslinger is matt vagbag without the emotionless/quick humor. ahmad feered is wallpaper, but not annoying. sean casey is surprisingly fun and not an idiot. i still don't know how i feel about bill ripken, but he's getting more comfortable. they're finding more work for brian kenney beyond his SABR-themed show (only on in the offseason and a great 1st season, though subjects debatable). along with the fact i cannot stand what Baseball Tonight has become, i stick with the MLB Network.

imo, they should give vagbag his own player interview show called "I'm Going To Make Fun of You For an Hour and You'll Still Like Me When This is Over"...he's brilliant at that. he should have a lot more enemies with his mouth, but it's almost impossible for him to piss others off (plus he takes it as well as he gives it out). to me..."Intentional Talk" is like a what "Best Damn Sports Show..." used to be back when tom arnold/john kruk were kicking around. ESPN took kruk, gave him about 100 painkillers, and inserted a sanitized version of him on Baseball Tonight. yeah though...if you dont like vagbag, you're not gonna like amsinger...

barney/castro cannot turn a f'n double play...especially if the ball gets to barney 1st. it's getting really annoying, but it's not like the cubs have another 2nd base option. barney is mechanically good, but slow going through the motions of the mechanics...castro is haphazardly fluid...interesting combo.

Or "Rip" to the rescue for the DRose-less Bulls? I think they can still get out of the first round. And then its over. Bad mistake by coach Thibs to keep him In with a minute left.

This is where I disagree. As painful as it is to see Rose go out, he barely played half the Bulls' games this year--and for many that he DID play, he was less than 100%. Further, for most of the no-Rose games, Hamilton was out as well. And yet, the Bulls STILL beat up on pretty much every team in the NBA, including the Heat. They may not get past Miami in the ECF w/o Rose, but I think they're a lock to get to the ECF in the first place. And while the odds are against, I don't think it's at all impossible to beat Miami minus Rose.

I didn't have a problem with Thibs keeping him in there. Like Thibs said, the 76ers were on a run, and that's the kind of minutes Rose needed to get back to his old playing shape. I blame the injury more on all the accumulative effects of his other injuries and the weird short season. And the way he landed on his foot, it just didn't seem that unusual. Almost like it was an injury waiting to happen, and it could have happened, and probably would have, at almost any time.

    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.

    This was Jaxon Wiggins previous "live" BP on 4/5: 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING (20 pitches - 10 strikes) 
    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis) 
    one HBP (B. Davis)
    two strikeouts (Peralta & Escobar - both looking)
    three swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    four called strikes
    nine called balls

    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.

    Brewers lose Wade Miley to Tommy John surgery.

  • crunch (view)

    25 games played with a -85 run differential.  insane.
