Sunday Funnies: Albert Pujols' slump

That's it.

Just a cartoon.

Comments

so when TWood gets sent down when Garza is better, do they bring up Adrian Cardenas to fill the utility role that DeWitt held? or add another lefty for the pen (Maine)?

Ugh. 4 IP, 6H, 4BB, 2HR, 5ER. Time to try to make it as a position player? ERA up to 6.75. Wonder how long he'll continue on the mound if he doesn't start getting better results.

Per Muskat... I-Cubs release Dan Berland (we hardly knew ya) Jonathan Mota promoted to Iowa. Grounds crew on the field to clear tarp, start 4 pm cst. Edit, 3:40 pm. Tarp off.

Guess DB was a one-hitter wonder. That first out came too easy for him last night & went to his head. Forget I mentioned him...Wells quoted in local paper today as essentially admitting that he figured he was golden on the big league roster & is bitter about demotion...sure he had some modest success but not nearly enough to figure there was no need to get better...away w/ him!

I musta been jinxing bjax the last couple nights! Umpire trivia: where did today's 1B ump Eric Cooper work part-time during his college days? Answer: @ a pub in des moines owned @ the time by TCR correspondent yours truly!

hi, we're the cubs middle infield...watch us not turn double plays. classic... 1-0 dodgers. i think this is perhaps the biggest untold story about this middle IF...it's frustrating to watch.

chris davis (BAL, 1st/3rd) goes 0-8 at the plate...but is about to pick up his 1st MLB pitching win. woo, 17 inning games. btw, darnell mcdonald (BOS, OF) is in line to pick up the loss. 2ip 2h 1bb 2k and a win for davis...ha. 0.00era/1.50whip

    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.

    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.

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

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

    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.

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it
