OK -- my 4th of July resolution is to try to stay more positive. So -- 10 games to the AS break, meaning the Cubs will be in first place at the break! First time since...2008? Also, hopefully, Willson, KB and Javy learned something about Familia yesterday that they can use in the future.

delayed until 7:20 -EST- (tarp off the field)... CLE/TOR in the top 18th in case you're bored. 2nd baseman r.goins pitching for TOR...hit 90mph so far. 1ip 2h 1bb 0k, 0 r/er (bb was ibb). he threw a fastball/change mix. crowd loved it. d.ross is not impressed. d.barney strands j.lake at 2nd in the bottom 18 for the cubs bluejays...to the 19th! -cubs game has begun- d.barney pitching the 19th!!! ...and he gives up a HR to c.santana facing his 1st batter. he's exclusively throwing 83-86mph fastballs. 1ip 1h 0bb 1k, 1 r/er (struck out m.napoli) CLE wins...longest MLB game of the season.

Nimmo certainly does not want to see the Cubs leave town. His first MLB rbi last night and now his first HR. At least Hammel is eating some innings ... this is the kind of game Peralta should be used if at all.

RIP jason hammel's awesome ERA. 10 ER in 4ip...almost a full point tacked on tonight, alone. 5HR given up tonight. oogly.

If baseball does not work out for Patton, I think he's got a future in Civil War re-enactments. He's got a solid Johnny-Reb look to him.

Hammel has had a rather challenging last month. I am hoping post-break that Hendrix gets pushed ahead of him. They'll be lucky to win a game in NY

Thank you, Jason, for allowing me to get to bed at a decent hour. Very thoughtful. It will be very interesting to see what Theo does at the deadline. Of course, if Jake doesn't get straightened out, it really doesn't matter. A lot of Jake's comments this year, and his posing for nudie pics in the ESPN magazine, rang some alarm bells -- after one great year (and it was amazingly great), his head has swelled tremendously. Jake, look up the word "hubris", then look in the mirror.

To take my mind of this latest disaster...wow, I thought baseball money was crazy, but NBA money is now super-wacko crazy. Joakim Noah is 31 with bad knees and absolutely no offensive game. He can't make a layup. The Knicks just agreed to pay him $72M over 4 years. Holy crap.

I don't see how sports economics is sustainable. The Mets are still paying Bobby Bonilla, for God's sake. Contracts like Heyward's are lots of fun for the players, but from an economic standpoint, make no sense. Hell, they don't even make sense to Heyward. Why does he need $150 million? $30 million won't do the trick?

TV money for sports will continue to go up. With all the viewing dispersion with cable/Netflix/binging/etc., the only place advertisers can reliably get a large audience is sports TV, namely NFL and NBA games. Mike Conley just got 5 years/$150 million. Crazy, man.

so... anyone else ready for the all-star break? =p it's been a tough past couple weeks...except that reds series. i miss playing the reds. that was cool.

Normally, with a lead like the Cubs have, I wouldn't say tonight's game is big, but tonight's game is big. Arrietta needs to step up tonight.

Submitted by Cubster on Sun, 07/03/2016 - 07:01 am

The Mets were 0-7 last regular season vs Cubs. So October is a whole different thang. I'm focused on getting the DL players back especially Fowler, Soler, TLS, Warren. The playing time this affords to Contreras and CJ is pure bonus in 2016. Plus they are throwing the usual spaghetti at the bullpen wall to see what sticks (Nathan, Crow, Patton, Richard and Peralta (please don't stick)). Last year it was Richard, Soriano and Rodney, but it also had additional limp spaghetti including the likes of Schlitter, Wada, Hunter, Roach, Coke, Medina and Beeler.

    AZ Phil:
    Rookie ball (ACL) starts on May 4th. Do yo think Ramon and Rosario (maybe Delgado) stay in Mesa for the month of May, then go to MB if all goes "solid"?

    masterboney is a luxury on a team that has multiple, capable options for 2nd, SS, and 3rd without him around.  i don't hate the guy, but if madrigal is sticking around then masterboney is expendable.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I THINK I agree with that decision. They committed to Wicks as a starter and, while he hasn’t been stellar I don’t think he’s been bad enough to undo that commitment.

    That said, Wesneski’s performance last night dictates he be the next righty up.

    Quite the dilemma. They have many good options, particularly in relief, but not many great ones. And complicating the situation is that the pitchers being paid the most are by and large performing the worst - or in Taillon’s case, at least to this point, not at all.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Wesneski and Mastrobuoni to Iowa

    Taillon and Wisdom up

    Wesneski can't pitch for a couple of days after the 4 IP from last night. But Jed picked Wicks over Wesneski.

    booooooooooo

    also, wisdom and taillon are both in chicago.

    Tonight’s game postponed. Split games on Saturday.

    cubs getting crazy good at not having player moves leak.

    taillon we 100% know is pitching tonight.  who he's replacing and any additional moves are unknown as far as i can tell.

    p.wisdom was not in today's lineup in iowa (rained out) and he was removed from the game last night mid-game, but not for injury.  good bet he's with the team in the bigs, too.

    A good rule of thumb is that if you trade a near-ready high ceiling prospect, you should get at least two far-away high ceiling prospects in return.  Like all rules-of-thumb, it depends upon the specific circumstances, but certainly, we weren't going to get Busch for either prospect alone.

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Right on schedule, just read an article in Baseball America entitled "10 MLB Prospects Outside The Top 100 Who Have Our Attention".  Zyhir Hope was one of the prospects featured. It stated that he's "one of the biggest arrow-up sleeper prospects in the lower levels right now."

     

    Not sharing to be negative about the trade, getting a top 100 prospect who is MLB ready should carry a heavy prospect cost.  But man, Dodger sure are good at identifying and developing young talent. Andrew Friedman seems to have successfully merged Ray's development with Yankees financial might to create a juggernaut of an organization.  

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    I suspect Brown will spend some time in the bullpen due to inning restrictions.  Pitched only 93 innings last year and career high is 104 innings in 2022.  I would expect them to be cautious with a young player with his injury history.
