Beeler returns as the 26th man in his second start of the season. He gave up 2 ER in 5 innings against the Cards on July 7th but had a no decision in a game the Cubs went on to win 5-3. He also pitched last July in Cinci when he gave up 4 ER in 5 innings for the loss. The Reds are 5-15 against him.

Cingrani returns from the DL (shoulder) to make his first start since June 9 of last year. (He had been working out of the bullpen.) The Cubs are 16-53 (.302) against him. Rizzo is 4-14 with a HR.

 

This line-up: oof.

Go Cubs!

Game 2 = Game 1. Fun day in Cincy! Edit: Stepped out for dinner -- just back now. What a game! What the hell?

Is this going to be remembered as the Dallas Beeler game? Ah, no.

Orioles released (after DFA last week) Wesley Wright. I thought I saw an extra feather in Theo's cap today.

man on 2nd..2 out...7th inning...tie game...teagarden + schwarb on the bench... hammel pinch hits. a'ite then...whatever.

Can someone tell me what happened with Castro's error? The Box says 2 runs were unearned? WTF did he do now?

i really wanna see that fan on the field footage based on how amazed the reds announcers are... it sounds like he actually made it out of the stadium without getting caught...and maybe took a selfie while doing it...and was extremely athletic...

Len/JD defended the sending of Fowler, mostly because you don't get many scoring chances vs Chapman as well as they still would have a runner in scoring position. It did take a good throw by Byrd and after the collision, Pena did a good job of holding on to the ball. All's well that ends well. Taylor Teagarden (Blind Squirrel) found a nut.

TEAGARDEN! hell yeah, cubs take the lead in the top 9th off f'n chapman.

This season is beginning to get some mojo.....two remarkable wins to split this series. A 4-3 trip -- could have hoped for better, given the competition, but -- wow! Gotta love Maddon -- after the Reds IBB to load 'em up for Beeler in the third, he pinch-hits Bryant, who comes through. Mojo, baby --- yeah!!!

...and, I know they're all young and MLB is brutal on most rookies, but the potential for Schwarber/Bryant/Rizzo/Soler to get on a combined hot streak is something to watch for every game. Their talent and flashes of performance have raised expectations beyond what is probably reasonable for now, but....maybe....

After watching Teagarden last night, I thought the Cubs' only chance to score was a wild pitch. Now THAT'S how you split a series. Holy cow!

By the way -- since the break, Russell is 7-19 with 4 walks. No pop, but he is getting on base. Nice to see.

Pick up a half game on the Pirates and Mets, lose a half game to the Giants -- much better than I had hoped after the 2nd inning.

Stoopid WSux, Damn Cardinals/Molina. But listening to whiny WSox fans on the radio, sublime. Just win Cubs.

The Cardinals did not get a competitive balance pick for 2016. That's good news. Royals and Mariners didn't get one either, despite being eligible.

And it begins! First major trade: Kazmir goes from A's to Astros for two prospects (both at high A ball).

"Former major leaguer and current MLB Network analyst Eric Byrnes will serve as the “strike zone umpire” for both games." i misread that as "former MLB Network analyst" and got stoked that they finally cut him loose. his aggro/hype take on everything can be draining unless you're into that kind of person.

A-Ram back to Pirates to help bite Cubs in the ass one more time before he rides off into Reverse Chalupa retirement.

    I worry that Morel will lose starts at 3B as long as this roster lacks a compelling DH.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I think if you had ranked players by how much the team could ill afford to have them miss significant time, Steele would be right at the top of the list.

    steele MRI on friday.  counsell expects an IL stint.

    no current plans for his rotation replacement.

  • hellfrozeover (view)

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1. 

  • crunch (view)

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

  • Eric S (view)

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

  • crunch (view)

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

  • crunch (view)

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.
