Marquis was bypassed in the rotation on Friday because of a strep throat. His only 2008 appearance was last Saturday, when he pitched 5 1/3 very bumpy innings against the Astros (8 hits, a walk and 4 ER). He's 4-3, 4.64 lifetime against the Phils and beat them last year in his only start against Philly since joining the Cubs.

Moyer pitched for Lou Piniella's Seattle teams and went 98-48 between 1996 and 2002. He actually had two stints with the Cubs. After they released him in the spring of '92, the Cubs were kind enough to offer him a coaching job within the organization.

He has gone on to win 197 Major League games since then.

The story Saturday night was Ted Lilly's continued terribleness and the ineptitude of the Cub offense, which, since the first inning Friday night, has accounted for just two runs and seven hits in 17 innings. It's true that the Cubs have gone up against two very good pitchers, but the Cubs also were throwing their supposed #1 and #2 guys, and the Phillies--even without NL MVP Jimmy Rollins--have had no trouble putting runs on the board.

If the Cubs can bag this win, they will end their Pennsylvania road trip 4-2, and if it's all the same to you, I am going to pretend they took two of three from both the bad Pirates and the good Phillies.

I mean I doubt he will be a solid hitter in the bigs, but we will never know if we dont play him. I wonder when the Cubs will sign K-loft? My guess is on 4/27.

I'm all for playing him. I'll say it again. But, if I'm going to play him, I'm only playing him against right-handed pitching. That isn't today. His career OPS against left is .269 in a small-ish sample.

Glad to see those four at bats (and missed played fly ball into a double) help Ward with his pitch hit at bat. K on ball four The good news is he didn't ground out to the right side of the infield for the 5th time in a row.

"Glad to see those four at bats (and missed played fly ball into a double) help Ward with his pitch hit at bat. K on ball four The good news is he didn't ground out to the right side of the infield for the 5th time in a row." I'm trying to understand why I find a comment like the above so irritating. I think it's for a couple of reasons. First, I strongly suspect that if Ward had come through with a hit, we wouldn't have heard a peep out of Mr. Shot about how Ward's playing time on Friday may have helped him hit today. Which would be both cowardly and dishonest. Second, using a single instance (the ultimate small sample size) and hindsight to condemn a manager's arguably reasonable decision at the time it was made reminds me of the kind of opportunistic arguing that my 13 year old often does. It's not done to bring out a valid point worthy of consideration by others. It's only done for the sake of claiming that you "won" the argument. Of course, it may be possible that Mr. Shot would have graciously offered his congratulations to LouPa for his excellent foresight if Ward had come up with a base hit in the 8th inning today. I'm just not going to be holding my breath.

Nice grab by Lee Wild inning by Woody.

So a construction worker, Red Sox fan working on the new Yankee's stadium attempts to curse the new stadium by burying a Red Sox jersey underneath it, and the construction crew goes back with jackhammers and digs it up? Are you f*ing serious? This looking fucking ridiculous to someone like me who isn't one single bit superstitious.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
