Wada struggled in Washington, giving up 5 ER in 3.2 and taking the only loss in the series. He’s still looking for his first win of the year, after four times out. He has only one start against the Reds, his MLB debut last July, in which he gave up 1 run (unearned) through 5 in the 6-5 Cubbie loss. This group of Reds is 4-14 (.286) against him.

Lorenzen gave up 3 ER over 6 innings but didn’t factor in the 9-7 loss to the Padres over the weekend. This is his first year and ninth start in the majors--after joining the Reds at the end of April. None of the Cubs have faced him.

Hamilton (right wrist) and Phillips (left groin) are still working through minor injuries that have cost them some playing time in recent days. Cozart is out for the season after his gruesome knee injury, so the Reds are down a SS. I know where they can get one for cheap.

The Reds have won their last 4 games, including sweeping the Phillies in Cinci, if that counts. Since 2010, the Reds are 61-32 against us. But it’s a new day: this team has Mike Baxter on it.

Go Cubs!

...still waiting on that "major trade" that was promised on draft day. =p wonder how long before the new pen dude gets here. no idea what kind of shape he's in. some people were writing he might be here this weekend, but that seems like a stretch unless he's been working out somewhere for months. also, rain on it's way to wrigley.

    it's a "for cash considerations" trade.

    cooper is a 1st/DH only type, but that's practically a freebie for BOS.  i was expecting some AAA fodder gamble on the same level rather than cash.  he showed up decent in spring + his limited time with the cubs.

    given BOS's extreme need for a 1st, this is a steal for them.

    Red Sox get G Cooper, I doubt if the Cubs get anything in terms of personnel.

    An excellent Earl Weaver chain smoking reference.

    I think it’s a bit of a chicken or egg scenario. Did they make these trades because they saw what was coming and weren’t impressed and knew to keep up with the demand for constant winning thru had to acquire impact players? Or did those additions cause a failure of resource allocation elsewhere.

    In addition, the whole they traded to acquire a star, that’s precisely what organizations should do if they feel they’re a piece away. Keep developing talent, but sometimes you need to supplement that talent. It’s what the best run organizations do. Atlanta does it. Houston in their prime run did it. Nationals during their prime run did it. Of course dodgers did it. Boston and Philadelphia too. Hell, the Cubs did it when they won. There’s no team that has had sustained success that has solely relied on their own internal development. It just doesn’t happen. I wouldn’t fault St Louis for that. What I suspect happened is in that 2020 season, in an effort to save money, they cut budget from developing and scouting. Or maybe the wrong guys got poached by other orgs. Regardless, blaming the acquisition of two of the best players of their generation for peanuts, seems off base to me.

    I do agree that we’ve more or less come to the same conclusion, but our paths to that conclusion contain almost no crossover. I think we can also agree that seeing the cardinals struggle brings a warmth to our hearts.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    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.
