Sun Funnies. Baez gets sent down.

I know.
He's not ready.
He needs more at bats and more seasoning and to get better in the field.
But that was as exciting a Spring Training performance as I've ever seen, and I cannot wait for the day Javier Baez comes up to play at Wrigley Field.
If it's 400' to the center field fence, you think a 452 footer at least gets to the concession stands under the scoreboard?

ha...nice. also, chc/oak 4pm (ET) WGN...boni CF, olt 3rd, barney SS, valbuena 2nd...hammel pitching.

wada released...rusin/mr. carlos manuel paulino villanueva now left battling for the 5th rotation spot til j.arrieta returns. muskat (in the booth at the game) mentioned castro might start the season on rehab in the minors.

lake/valbuena back to back HRs... lake with another homer...and m.olt gets in on the homer hitting, too (5th). ...and lake makes it a 3HR day (all off different pitchers)...and valbuena goes back to back for a 2HR game. valbuena leads the team in spring HR (6)...baez/olt both with 5.

well it's spring training for WGN, too...evidently they're not going to show OAK batting in the bottom of the 9th and they're going directly to their 7pm "funny video" program. -edit- ah, they left the game to show blackhawks hockey (only available locally...rest of nation gets "getting hit in the nuts" family video show.

Bolt's got some power. I really, really don't want to see a journeyman like Valbuena or Murphy or anyone else playing third to start the season knowing there's a kid they should be giving a shot to. This isn't just a bring him up thing. It's time to see what the kid can do for 162 games. Baez, Bolt, Rizzo, and soon enough Bryant. My eyes are watering.

In reply to by Rob Richardson

The throw was right at the bag but a little high. A taller more experienced firstbaseman than Ryan Roberts probably can stay on the bag and make the catch. Replay showed Roberts came down on the bag before the runner got there. The second was a high bounder where he kind of got caught in between hops and tried to backhand it. I thought he played it a little too casually. Should have been more aggressive. But wtf do I know.

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

  • crunch (view)

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

    rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.

    ...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.

    busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.

    wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

    matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.

    cubs run differential getting destroyed.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.

  • crunch (view)

    he's hugging canario in the dugout cuz morel will shrivel up and die if he doesn't hug at least a dozen people a day.

  • crunch (view)

    and morel is injured...nice.

    morel trying to play LF from 3rd...runs into canario while leaping and comes down ribs/arm-first.

    hopefully he sticks around to finish this terrible game, or at least is going to avoid the IL.

    Amen to that last point!
