...and SF blows another 1-run lead in the 9th! Now tied for 2nd WC spot with the Cards, one game back of NYM. Closers are over-rated, until you don't have a good one.

"Pedro Strop (knee, groin) made it through a successful 20-pitch simulated game on Tuesday. Strop declared himself game-ready after the workout and said he expects to be activated from the disabled list ahead of Friday's series opener against the Cardinals." neat.

lester took a nasty comebacker off his right (glove) wrist. you can already black/blue around the red. he's being left in the game (at his insistence).

Fernandez over Roark, 1-0. Stanton solo HR. Magic Number now 4 (and it only needs to be 1, due to Cubs holding the tiebreaker vs Nats) Go Dusty Go and the Cubs win makes the number 3.

Brandon Crawford left gave vs Dodgers with dislocated left little finger (glove side). Probably not a season ender unless there is an associated fracture. Might affect how he can hold a bat though.

Best quote of the season - David Ross asked what he thought when he saw Jon Lester get hit on the wrist . " There goes my job "

Braves have become a force in the playoff race-- have won 4 of 5 vs. Nats and Mets. I'm sure neither fan base was expecting that.

The Cards were in real trouble -- they had lost the first 2 to SF and trailed by a run in the ninth on the road. But, a rally, which started the current 4-game win streak, and they are, annoyingly, looking pretty good.

Arenado with a slam (bad news for KB) as the Rockies lead the Cards 11-1 in the 8th (good news for us). Both KB and Arenado have been quiet on the HR front lately -- hopefully, KB follows Arenado's lead.

    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.
