Monday Not Funnies. Andrew McCutchen is having a slump.

Lets hope it lasts a little longer...

Comments

Haha! Funny. The Cubs put him in his slump, hopefully they can keep him in the slump.

Interesting. From an owner point-of-view, protecting your pitchers from injuries while on offense makes total sense. Obviously, the momentum is moving toward DH in the NL and I think it's probably going to happen. Len Kasper called it an inevitability, a question of when, not if. I'm probably going to be an old, cranky holdout on this issue. I like NL baseball. Meh. Ryan

Wanna feel old? Addison Russell's dad is 38 years old.

Great animation, Tim! Love Hammel's eyes in the penultimate frame. Here's hoping this is not the series in which McCutchen starts hitting line drives again. Also, here's hoping this is the series in which Castro stops hitting ground balls at a 60%+ rate and that one or more of Bryant, Rizzo, and Soler start cranking the ball out of the park on a more regular basis. Also, some quality starts from Cubs pitchers not named Arrieta (per the Bruce Miles tweet) would be nice.

Marlins DFA'd Saltalamacchia...$7M contract for this year, $8M for next year.

Was hitting 069/182/207 so far this season  after a .681 OPS last year.

Tonight's lineup

Fowler CF, Soler RF, Riz 1B, Bryant 3B, Montero C, Castro SS, Coghlan LF, Hammel P, Russell 2B

Rangers trade Hamilton to Angels is official. Word here in NYC is the Rangers sending $70 million of the $85 million owed and maybe getting a PTBNL. WOW, they really wanted him gone.

Castillo taking grounders at 3B. Interesting. He's only ever played catcher except 1 game in the majors and 3 in the minors at 1B.

Glad the Ol' Shitter is sent down. He can work on closing out PA's and grooming his beard.

    straily's a bit rusty...

    Open 40 man spot might see the return of CJ. He’s been okay in Iowa. Teheran has been rocked in his starts this year. SSS of course.

    Wouldn’t be shocked seeing another 40 man spot open with Brewer losing his spot.

    Word is that Counsell thought Mervis and Wisdom got too much work in yesterday so it will be Wesneski.

    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.
