I just signed up for the first time to be able to make comments and I did it for one reason. The reason is I have a question for Arizona Phil, the authority on these types of matters. I noticed Armando Rivera was just put on the 60 day disabled list and has not pitched this year. Being a rule 5 pick I know there is some sort of rule on how long a player picked has to be on the active roster. Arizona Phil, what is the possibilty the Cubs can get him back? What has to happen for that to happen? I was a little surprised the Cubs didn't protect him and you can never have enough bullpen arms. Thanks.

Phil will answer better than I will, but I'll throw this in anyway. The Braves can keep him on the DL all season, should the choose. The specifications don't really change much. The only difference would be that, in 2018, Rivero would have to stay on the Braves roster until he has had 90 Days on the 25 man roster. Then, they could farm him out. The Atlanta question. Is Rivero worth still keeping. The Chicago question? If offered back, is Rivero worth $50,000?

I am curious to see Baez swing against knuckleballs...  Hope he double-tied his laces...

For those not watching, Bryant left the game after sliding head-first into third base.  He seems to have bent maybe his fourth and fifth finger on his left hand awkwardly when it slid into the third baseman's foot.

Word is KB has a sprained left pinky, x-rays were negative and he's day-to-day. Seems like a bullet has been dodged so far. And KB's replacement, TLS, just goes yard.

Wondering why Joe did not try a squeeze attempt with Addy on 3rd, 1 out, a slow pitcher, and Almora up?

Submitted by crunch on Wed, 07/19/2017 - 07:38 pm

since the break the cubs just keep hitting homers. playing against these 2 crap teams helps, but whatever...i'll take it.

Perhaps Monty will piggyback for Lackey's starts like he did for Butler -- that worked for a couple wins. Also, road trip sweeps do not suck - go Pirates!

Submitted by billybucks on Wed, 07/19/2017 - 07:50 pm

I realize there is no such thing as momentum in baseball, but Addy's 9th inning game-winning HR in the first game of the trip really changed what could have been a very negative narrative to "Hey, we got Quintana!"

Interesting Games Coming: Cards for 3 Sox for 4 Brewers for 3 in Wrigley North Then D-Backs for 3 and "The Dusty's" for 3 to start off August (Home) What's your guesses for the 16-game stretch?

Submitted by Lester's rattl… on Wed, 07/19/2017 - 07:30 pm

Here's my take on that stretch: 2-1 Cards 2-2 Sox 3-0 Brewers 1-2 Dbacks 2-1 Nats So 10-6. Like you point out, even 8-8 leaves us in good shape, but as long as we win the series against the Brew crew. Also, I meant to post this at the all star break, but my overzealous prediction is we end up winning 92 games and the division. So we were 43-45 at the break, which means we would have to play 49-25 since the all star break. With this start to the second half, I think it's totally doable, as we'd have to go 43-25 the rest of the way. So that's a .632 winning percentage the rest of the way. I think it's possible!

There's no good time for an injury, but sitting Bryant on Friday and Saturday should be no big loss. He has terrible numbers against Martinez and Wainwright.

6 wins in a row. 1.5 games back. cubs off today (7/20) and brewers have an early day game. cubs game on friday vs STL is a day game (boo).

Submitted by Lester's rattl… on Thu, 07/20/2017 - 07:22 pm

Pirates take lead over the Brewers in the bottom of the 5th...3-2 Buccos! edit: Make that 4-2 one batter later, and with another runner in scoring position.

Submitted by billybucks on Thu, 07/20/2017 - 07:07 pm

And now I'm afraid of the Pirates. Great end to the Cards game -- Mets win when Rosenthal fails to cover first on a grounder. McCarver goes ballistic: "You've gotta get over there!!!"

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be savored...unedited. 40 years, wow.
