Jordan Bastian @MLBastian
No announced timetable for lefty Drew Smyly (right oblique), but the Cubs pitcher estimated he could be sidelined for at least a month.

thompson gets to throw 89 pitches.  he was slowing down a bit in the 6th at 80+ pitches, but that tracks with his low workload so far this year.

he leaves with 2 on in the 6th (both walks)

Not surprising and not saying it isn't deserved but hard for any manager to look good with a bad defense and a weak bullpen.

Back in the day, I thought Girardi would be the guy to take over the team from Renteria when Cubs got serious about winning. Maddon stepping in and taking that role worked out pretty well enough though.

caleb kilian gets the SATURDAY start. (day corrected)

at least the cubs aren't trying to sign dallas keuchel...hopefully...

Espinoza is 27th and has to return to Iowa tomorrow

Kilian is the 26th and gets to stay if Jed wants

Saw where Miley threw "another" bullpen session today. And CMartin will eventually come back from Bereavement list. Also AMills will need to come off the 60IL very soon.

Swarmer has 12 IP of 2 ER. He'll stay up and Kilian will go down. Just a conservative guess

b.davis had back surgery...shelved for an indeterminate amount of time.

the "good" news is it seems to be a minor procedure involving soft tissue rather than the hard structure of the back, itself.

cubs got suzuki, happ, and morel going into 2024...the OF is good right now...no biggie.

Submitted by Cubster on Sat, 06/04/2022 - 06:22 pm

I might be really off but...my Kilian first impression reminds me a bit of Mark Prior.  Big calves, throwing strikes and working up and down. Prior was even  taller but Kilian is supposedly 6'4.

Is it theoretically possible for Andelton Simmons to have a negative OPS+? I know he's getting close.

givens throws 45 pitches (wtf) and walks 3 guys in his 2nd inning of work.

can we get a pulse check on d.ross?  i want proof he's actually still alive or at least watching the game.

Submitted by Arizona Phil on Sun, 06/05/2022 - 06:58 pm

Chris Martin has been automaticaly transferred to the Restricted List because he has exceeded the maximum number of days (seven) a player can spend on the Bereavement / Family Medical Emergency List. BTW, it's one list that covers both a death in the family and a family medical emergency, so if a family medical emergency turns into a death, the player's absence can very well exeed seven days. A player is not paid while he is on the Restricted List. 

So the Cubs will have a slot on the 40 open until Martin returns and is reinstated. David Bote is eligible to be reinstated from the 60-day IL on Tuesday, and Alec Mills was eligible to be reinstated from the 60-day IL this past Friday.

    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.
