finally...a cubs game without the SF announce crew. they're not horrible, but i'm a bit sick of them. stupid EI on time-warner giving me 1 stupid feed...go WGN...go limp dicks, herpies, children i have a attitude about because their parents have issues, and garden claw gold!

im all for fuku batting 2nd, but reed johnson leading off? -edit- len/bob talking about how fuku is given 2nd to "get used to hitting 2nd"...bob thinks its his best spot, so does a lotta the rest of baseball. good to see the adjustment.

bleh...Z not looking so hot in the 1st. high 80s fastballs, sketchy control over the breaking stuff...hope its just "working itself out". -edit- edmonds with a big standing-O by cards fans...another classy showing by cards fans (not sarcasm). -edit- okay...now paul sulivan is in the booth saying someone's gun is off...on Z's fastest pitch so far (91mph) the stadium gun said 97mph. so uh...yeah...something might be amiss somewhere so take the top note with a heaping helping of salt grains.

LaRussa's a good manager, but also quite a douchebag. All Edmonds was saying is that now that he's with another team, call him a Cub. But Mr. PETA gets all hissy about it? His doucheness is also exemplified by his reasons for always wearing dark glasses during night games - you know, so the opposing manager can't read his facial expressions. What?

Brewers seem to be going hard after Sabathia and it looks like a very good offer. Via Rotoworld... Tom Haudricourt believes the third player may be Lorenzo Cain, a lesser outfield prospect. If acquired, LaPorta would likely be a candidate to join the Indians in August. Green would be another potential third baseman of the future to go along with Andy Marte, Wes Hodges and Beau Mills. He has a chance to make it as a starter, but Hodges is the better bet. Mills is going to end up as a first baseman or DH. For what it's worth, Brewers GM Doug Melvin added that he doesn't expect anything to happen in the next couple of days. "Cleveland is in control of this, not us," he said. "They told us they're talking to other clubs, too. You never know how these things are going to work out."

That game/schedule widget on the right hasn't updated for me since June 30th. I'm wondering if hasn't for everybody else.

Didn't notice before right now, but yea, it isn't updated for me either.

yeah, I have no control over it. I noticed it did the same thing about a month ago. The owners of it probably took the weekend off.

    I’ve got Tim’s The Last Out too, along with some other prints of his work.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    This was Jaxon Wiggins previous "live" BP on 4/5: 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING (20 pitches - 10 strikes) 
    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis) 
    one HBP (B. Davis)
    two strikeouts (Peralta & Escobar - both looking)
    three swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    four called strikes
    nine called balls

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS: 
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS: 
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP
