d.smyly has been shut down for the season.

he's allegedly healthy...they just don't think he'll be stretched out enough to contribute before the season ends or something whatever.

Every time I think the Cubs have the division locked up, they start losing and Brews/Cards start winning.  Every time I think the Cubs are falling apart and may lose the division, they start winning.  With that in mind, here is my prediction for this series with the Brewers:

Today: Win (3 games up)

Tomorrow: Lose (2 games up)

Wednesday: 24 inning tie game, finished at a later date.

Is Maddon high?  Not the situation to insert Carl Jr with his current struggles

Joe left Lester in after he was clearly hurt.  Two outs, nobody on.  A single and a double later, he brings in CJ to uncork a first-pitch WP which brings in the go-ahead (edit: Winning) run.  Try to limit yourself to one stupid decision per inning, please.  Cubs, Bears, Kopech, NU loses to Duke -- too much bad sports karma around Chicago right now. Oh, and Matt Adams just hit a 3-run bomb in the 8th to give STL the lead.  Literally every bit of sports news over the last 3 days has been bad. Woof. 

Edit: This loss is completely on Maddon.  Inexcusable decisions on Lester and CJ.  Beyond dumb.

Oof. Lester vs Miley and the Cubs appear out-classed in all phases of the game. I did like Zobrist's army crawl retrieving the ball in the RF corner earlier but not a lot of juice otherwise.

And for God's sake, can a Cub pitcher retire Lorenzo Cain one time this game?

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

  • crunch (view)

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

    rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.

    ...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.

    busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.

    wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.

    cubs run differential getting destroyed.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.

  • crunch (view)

    he's hugging canario in the dugout cuz morel will shrivel up and die if he doesn't hug at least a dozen people a day.

  • crunch (view)

    and morel is injured...nice.

    morel trying to play LF from 3rd...runs into canario while leaping and comes down ribs/arm-first.

    hopefully he sticks around to finish this terrible game, or at least is going to avoid the IL.

    Amen to that last point!
