Beeler--aka, our 26th man--started the second game of a double dip on the 22nd (2 IP, 3 ER). In one of Joe’s better moves, he was pulled for a pinch-hitting Bryant in the third inning. The Cubs scored 5 that inning and went on to win 6-5. None of the Rockies have faced him.

Flande started the year in the minors (AA and AAA). This is his eighth appearance this year but the first start. Against the Cubs last year, he went 0-2 with a 3.83 ERA. The Cubs are 6-30 (.200) against him. Castro has a HR.

Other notes: Wada pitched 6 innings on Monday (2 unearned runs, 4 H, 6 Ks, 1 BB). Tulo (and LaTroy Hawkins, who was clearly the key to the deal) was traded yesterday to Toronto for Reyes. Butler vs. Lester to close out the set tomorrow.

Go Cubs!

6ip 4h 1bb 6k for wada last night in AAA...and we get beeler today in the bigs...beeler. speaking of the minors...i thought cj edwards was going to see occasional pen time and still start. he's done nothing but relief work this year (though a lot of it has been multiple-inning work). his workload is weird. he regularly works 2 innings and gets 3-4 days rest in between it.

Fowler CF, Schwarber C, Bryant 3B, Rizzo 1B, Soler RF, Denorfia LF, Castro SS, AreYouKiddingMe P, Russell 2B

12 pitches, man on 2nd, 0 outs, 3 runs already in... (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Well, this is a year to learn. We have learned everything we need to about Dallas Beeler. EDIT: And Rafael Soriano. Still struggling to figure out why he got the start over Wada.

after throwing crap nearly all season he has 3 decent games in a row in AAA somehow earning him some mlb starts. he's a right handed crapballer who's only tool is a fastball/cutter combo he throws at a similar speed hoping the batter guesses wrong. he's got a curve, but no one cares about it. wada has to get out of AAA at some point. i don't understand why it wasn't tonight, either.

Well, Beeler probably got the start simply because he can be brought up and sent down easily. Wada is technically in AAA on a rehab assignment and they just went through the trouble of getting Richards through waivers. If one of them started yesterday and then they acquire a new 5th starter via trade, they'd be stuck with Wada on the roster if he wasn't willing to go down (he has to give his consent in advance before being optioned) and risk losing Richards again by trying to get him through waivers just when teams who missed out on pitching in trades might grab him. So we got Beeler for a game.

I expect a trade for a starting pitcher and some roster shuffling over the next few days.  

Gorgeous AB by Russell in the 7th. 11 pitches, fouls off 6. Single to opposite field. Fed a steady diet of FB / Change and never got duped. So nice.

Odd double switch removing Castro who would have batted 4th in 8th inning. No mention on radio but I wonder if it signals a trade coming. Coghlan at 2nd. Also Javy Baez 2 HRs in first game back at Iowa. Lake and Olt also have hitting shoes on.

Total and complete Cubbery: DJ LeMahieu is 13 for 20 against his old team this season.

PHIL: Very sorry you had to watch the medical situation develop, and peaceful thoughts sent to the family of the loved one. Sure puts everything in perspective.

    I worry that Morel will lose starts at 3B as long as this roster lacks a compelling DH.

    I think if you had ranked players by how much the team could ill afford to have them miss significant time, Steele would be right at the top of the list.

    steele MRI on friday.  counsell expects an IL stint.

    no current plans for his rotation replacement.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

  • crunch (view)

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

  • crunch (view)

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.
