Gameday Open Thread / Cubs @ Rockies

The Cubs complete their home and home series with the Rockies today, as they travel to Tuscon. Sean Marshall will go for the Cubs against fellow south-paw, Mark Redman. Carlos Zambrano is scheduled to throw against some minor leaguers in Mesa.

UPDATE: The Cubs trimmed their roster down to 36 by optioning Neal Cotts to Triple-A and assigning Koyie Hill to minor league camp. That leaves 5 non-roster invitees still left in camp: pitchers Chad Fox and Les Walrond and position players, Micah Hoffpauir, Casey McGehee and Alex Cintron.

Yeah that was brutal. And then gets to close to the wall and turns the play into a triple. ---------------- Don't ever give Murton a boomerang. It'd probably chop off his head when it rebounds.

murton in LF Rocky Roquet now in...Marshall's line: 4IP/5H/2R/2ER/2BB/3K I wonder where he's going to be come 3/31? I wish he had a better track record for going deeper into games though.

Pignatello with another scoreless inning and 2 K's. He's unscored upon for the spring...so if he doesn't make the team (and I doubt he will) it must be discouraging to be stuck under such a good lefty like Stevie Eyre. Maybe we can start a cockamamie rumor that Detroit is interested in Eyre (for Granderson instead of Wuertz for Thames or Inge...well it's my rumor, I'm entitled to pick who I want in the trade).

"The Cub Reporter has heard the Tigers are interested in Stevie Eyre although the Cubs GM, after consulting former team president Andy McFail, were told to ask for Curtis Granderson in return." ...so much for my bogus trade rumor of the day

Nice to see Lou moving Soriano out of the 2nd spot, but he belongs behind Lee somewhere, since Lee's main value offensively has become his .400 OBP. Anyone else worried about the trouble the 8-hole might cause for Pie if he doesn't get off to a hot start? It seems to me that guys with a free swinging approach would tend to have trouble hitting 8th, since they'll never see a strike.

The Cub Reporter, citing well placed sources who wish to remain anonymous due to their privileged access, reports that the Detroit Tigers are interested in swapping lefthanded pitcher Scott Eyre for lefthanded superstar Curtis Granderson.

and David Kaplan will be on at 7pm with his sports central show on WGN with an interview from a Detroit insider that goes by the name, Neifi_is_not_in_the_package.

With Daytona and Peoria at home at Fitch Park today, I believe Carlos Zambrano traveled with the Iowa squad to Papago Park (A's minor league complex) to pitch against AAA hitters. He definitely did not pitch in either of the games at Fitch Park, although he did take 10 AM BP with the Iowa Cubs.

I believe Carlos Zambrano traveled with the Iowa squad to Papago Park (A's minor league complex) =========== He did. There is a description and some pictures of Z's outing at bleedcubbieblue.com apparently he went 6 IP, 2H, 0 Runs, 3BB, 4K and 91 pitches.

    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.

  • azbobbop (view)

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

  • azbobbop (view)

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

    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

    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.
