I knew the Cubs were toast when I read in the press about how they were complaining about the cold so much. I guess they didn't bargain for October weather during October baseball. Weather isn't bothering the Mets at all. Another "teachable" moment I guess, but if they don't' come back I know there will be many more opportunities in the future, as long as Theo and Co don't give up the farm stocking up on a better rotation. Whatever happens, I hope they stay the course, and by that I mean don't trade 5 stud prospects for a pitcher. I don't trust pitchers. They break.

Well said, CT Steve. Time to crank up some Wrigley magic.

On the bright side... 1984 Cubs were up 2-0 after 2 games 1989 was 1-1 2003 was 1-1 Those years didn't work out well...so maybe being down 0-2 is exactly what we need to finally get over the NLCS hump. Right? Right? Bueller?

I haven't seen the sports news today but that was a pretty gutsy performance by Harvey and as I was watching with da wife I said to her that the effort may finish him for the season. It would have been really cool to see that gutsy performance still go wrong somehow, but that's life.

Of course, there's some concern that Arrieta is not going to be at full strength til next year. But that doesn't mean he should pitch sooner of course. The weird thing was I thought he was TOO strong in his Cards flameout. Maybe he just struggled in the cold weather.

one downside to the cubs being in the post-season is other teams that are out of it are already being linked to future FA's. life's rough, yo.

"Mike Puma @NYPost_Mets Harvey just threw in the outfield and is "good to go," for a potential Game 5." boo.

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too.

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled.

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I don’t see Tauchman as a weak link in any position. He simply adds his value in a different way.

    I don’t know that we gain much by putting him in the outfield - Happ, Bellinger and Suzuki and Tauchman all field their positions well. If you’re looking for Taucnman’s kind of AB in a particular game I don’t see why it can’t come from DH.
