Hammel, who moves ahead of Roach in the rotation, took the loss in rainy St. Louis on Sunday, giving up 4 ER in 4 innings but striking out 7. He was strong in his win in Miami this year (6.2 IP, 1 ER, 11 Ks). The Marlins are 35-113 (.310) against him. The ball hawks on Sheffield and Waveland (and beyond) will miss Stanton.

Koehler beat the Dodgers at home in his last appearance (7 IP, 2 ER, 5 Ks, 0 BBs). He had a no decision (6 IP, 4 ER) against the Cubs in Miami last year. The Cubs are 7-48 (.146) against him. Castro is 2-7 with a HR. Rizzo is 0-5.

Injury report: Soler will be back at some point this weekend. In his 3 rehab games at Iowa, he is 1-10 with 4 Ks. That’s about right. Michael Morse is set to return from the DL for the Marlins (finger injury, back tightness), where he’s been since May 26.

Go Cubs!

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.

I’ve got Tim’s The Last Out too, along with some other prints of his work.

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.
