i know it's kershaw and all, but it feels like 2022 isn't gonna get much better for the cubs.

there's been a few fun wins, but overall it feels like i'm watching a spring training game almost every day.

knowing game 2 is a f'n "bullpen game" doesn't help things.

Spring training is an apt description. This team is an embarrassment. We're saved from the division basement only because there's a 4-22 team there.

Whats worse is that looking at the pieces... how many of these guys are on the next even good Cubs team? Not saying the next Cubs team that is a title contender, just the next above average team.

The last 2 or so weeks have been unwatchable. I can not see any quick fixes given how many flaws the current roster has.

i would settle for some small victories...like keegan "too important out of the pen" thompson being a starter rather than cleaning up other people's messes and hoping for a win (of which he has 2, more than any cubs starter).  i understand they may want to limit his 2022 innings, but meh...

we knew what this was when the season began.  it just takes some time to sink in that there may not be many pleasant surprises.

it's may and i've already seen fans wondering what we're gonna get for d.robertson and hoping others (contreras/hendricks) can up their game to bring trade value.  it's 2021 vibes all over again, but with crappier cards to play.

Beginning today (the 31st day of the MLB regular season), the current standings as of 9 AM are now used to determine daily waiver claim priority. (Beginning on the day after the conclusion of an MLB regular season and extending up through the 30th day of the next MLB regular season, the previous season's standings are used to determine daily waiver claim priority). 

p.wisdom seems to have tweaked something.  out of the game and had a hard time going downstairs into the clubhouse.

buckle up for what might be a good amount of villar getting to attempt to throw baseballs from 3rd base.

things felt a bit "doomy" for 2022-???? when everyone was getting traded away last year for key guys that had expected Rookie/A-ball slots for 2022.

at least the cubs snagged caleb kilian...and nick madrigal is a decent/cheap supporting player in a lineup that can play 2nd without embarrasing himself.

it's not like all those kids snagged were junk or extreme long-shots, but the trades weren't for proven minor league experience close to getting their shot in the bigs.

That would be nice. We definitely find ourselves at a juncture where minor league info is much more interesting than actual Cubs games. I wonder if we'll get another "this isn't a rebuild like last time" nonsense interviews after we trade everything away that anyone wants this July.

steele leaves after 4 with what appears to be a blister/cramp/hand-injury/??? while warming up for the 5th.

not a bad performance given the lineup he faced and the short notice.  most of the bad was concentrated in a single inning.

    agreed and agreed.

    he walked off on his own, but we may not find out for a few days how this will impact the club.

    Looked like a hamstring rather than a knee, not sure if that’s better or worse. 

  • crunch (view)

    steele leaves the game with a hamstring or knee injury.  sigh.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and a madrigal "non-error" leads to a sac fly for a tie game.  nice.

    having a ball clank off your glove, but still getting it count as a hit because it was hit hard is a nice stats gift.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    For sure. This lineup isn’t exactly stacked as is, and subbing out a Cooper or even a Tauchman for Madrigal won’t do it any favors.

    the ESPN bottom graphic taking up 1/8th of the screen sucks.

    i only use ESPN during baseball season and i'm forced to watch a baseball broadcast designed to be broadcast in sports bars and betting parlors where the news/scores of other games is as important as what you're actually tuned in to watch.

    morel triple to start the season....yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    LHP Blake Weiman appears to have been the last cut from the AAA Iowa roster. He is with the Tennessee group at Minor League Camp.

    bruce bochy is hobbling rather badly for a guy who's had 2 hip replacements.  his gait is extremely wonky taking the lineup card to the ump.

  • crunch (view)

    yeah, for me this isn't about who's better at 3rd.  it's madrigal, period.  for me it's about who's not hitting in the lineup because madrigal is in the lineup.

    occasional play at 3rd for madrigal, okay.  going with the steele/ground-ball matchup...meh, but okay, whatever.

    seeing madrigal get significant starting time...no thanks.
