Game 74 Thread - Wells vs. Gee

It was nice of the Cubs to start Wells to temper any real expectations we may have had for tonight's game.

As everyone knows by now, Anthony Rizzo has been called up and is immediately inserted into the #3 spot in the lineup. The last highly anticipated Cubs debut was May 7th, 2010 versus the Reds in Cincinnati and Starlin didn't do much other than go 2/5 with a HR, a triple and 6 RBI's in a 14-7 Cubs win.

The Cubs may be 23 games under .500, but they have managed a non-cringe inducing 15-19 record at home. So they have that going for them. At least for one night, it'll be worth paying attention to the team. I'll probably stop by parachat tonight, at least for the Rizzo at-bats.

if you couldn't figure out the lineup from the positions, DeJesus, Castro, Rizzo, Soriano, LaHair, Valbuena, Barney, Clevenger, Wells

wow...bob applejacks, COL pitching coach, asked to be reassigned in the organization. along with a player shoulder-checking jim tracy after being taken out of a game recently...this whole 4-man-75-pitch experiment isn't being met with open arms. i wonder who's pushing this...

official scoring #1. a should-be double play error is ruled (changed to) a single. sigh... anyway, rizzo has his 1st hit as a cub.

Three things tonight: 1. Thank God the savior is here (Rizzo) 2. Thank you, Dale, for giving the hook to Wells in the 4th inning 3. Who is that #12 in LF? - With those catches and 45 RBIs, someone would pay a couple million of the $45M remaining on his contract.

I hope this Theo-corp puts a mandate on not walking batters the Cubs and Iowa cubs were both 3rd in walks allowed last time i checked and Wells sucks at throwing strikes someday we will see some strike throwers in Chicago.

due to a change in official scoring, congrats to rizzo on throwing his 1st complete game shutout in his pro pitching debut of which he never took the mound. very impressive. along with his batting performance it was a hell of a debut.

Only got to watch the video highlights, but Rizzo looked like he did a great job hitting the ball with authority towards left field on both of his hits (and I'd say a "hit" ruling on the first one is pretty reasonable, though the second hit wasn't a legit double). Looking forward to watching this guy play. Also, Valbuena has 5 errors already. Stone hands? Seems like Bobby Scales redux.

Or to put it in other terms, he's striking out in 38.6 percent of all his at-bats this season. That's the second most in the minors, trailing only Astros first baseman Telvin Nash, who has 124 strikeouts in 246 at-bats. The strikeout problem has gotten worse this month for Jackson. He's struck out an amazing 44 times in 25 games this month and Tuesday was the seventh time this month that he has struck out three times in a game. Drew Stubbs comp in there as well although clearly saying Stubbs had better tools coming up in the minors. http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/2012/06/brett-jacksons-k-…

"although clearly saying Stubbs had better tools coming up in the minors." Cooper does say that Stubbs "has more speed than Jackson and a touch more power." At Jackson's age, 23, they both had about 80 stolen bases. Then at 24, Stubbs stole 46 bases in AAA. "A touch more power" is not clearly saying something, and in any case, it's false. Power-wise, Stubbs hit 28 homers in 426 games in the minors. Jackson has 51 in 370 games. I don't actually predict big base-stealing numbers from Jackson in the majors. He's too big for that. He injures himself when he slides a lot, especially head first. I'm as perplexed as everyone else by Jackson's erratic offensive performance so far this year. For the moment, I'm willing to chalk it up to Rizzo-envy. Still, I like to add up a player's total bases, walks and steals. If you do that for Jackson's peers in the PCL, you'll find that he is #6 behind Elmore, Gose, Rizzo, Eaton and Wheeler. So he is being fairly productive in spite of the mounting K's.

I am rooting for Maine. Every team should have a player named after a State. In every time up, he has laid an egg at the MLB level. We need him to be productive in some capacity.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
