Sunday Not Funnies: Rizzo and Russell collide.

Submitted by CubbyBlue on

Maybe you were watching.
Maybe you heard it on the radio.
But when Anthony Rizzo and Addison Russell collided going for that pop up, I figure everybody felt like this.

Luckily, they're okay.

I love the old "Realistic" radio, complete with correct logo. Such an honor for the now defunct Radio Shack.

Watching Kris Bryant swing and miss some falling off the table breaking pitches and Soler struggling a bit, I feel a bit like the Dana Carvey old man character when he says, "when I was young..." pitchers who threw like Bruce Sutter were, well, Bruce Sutter, and led the league in saves. Today, every major league pitcher not named Schlitter seems to have some electric pitch. It's really amazing. They either throw 100 mph like a guy I can't even remember the name of from a few weeks back, or they have nasty breaking stuff and sliders. This Cubs season is going to be up and down with these kids. Hopefully enough up to keep them afloat and above .500. When the kids look great, I need to remind myself that it is probably nothing more than a taste of what's coming. And when they suck, I just have to remind myself that it's a helluva lot better than watching the Hendry journeymen getting consistently overmatched.

I honestly would not take out Nelson if I was Roenicke. He's pitching really well, got nasty stuff. See what happens here. EDIT: That's why I''m not a major league manager.

All I could think of watching Segura on the ground there was, "We'll take the loss if you can get up on your own."

they blare a lot of stuff at wrigley now...walk up music, pitching change music, mound visit music, dude just popped out music... with all the crap being done...i mean damn, just open a new park somewhere already. all that's left at wrigley is some ivy on a brick wall as far as that oldschool park feel...and some really cruddy bathrooms. even the city views are disappearing in many directions.

Tyler Skulina pitched 6IP, 1H, no runs, 8K, 1BB and Billy McKinney hit two solo HR's in a Pelicans 2-1 win.

from BP on McKinney, based on games of May 1-3:
Billy McKinney, OF, Cubs (Myrtle Beach, A+): 2-4, 2 R, 2 HR, K. Scouts have questioned McKinney’s raw bat speed, which is average to above average, but lacks that elite level associate with most plus hit tools (which McKinney features). The Cubs outfielder makes up for it with exceptional feel for the barrel and with a patient approach that consistently puts him in strong hitters counts that allows him to cheat and get the barrel of the bat moving. He’s a smart hitter with good instincts, which can help make up for less-than-elite natural talent.

STL playing their 20th extra inning game of the season...or something like that. top of the 11th, but whatever, they're like 19-0 so far in extra inning games this year.

From @DanHirsch:

How good has the Cardinals pitching been? Their ERA+ is 172. In Sandy Koufax's peak (1963-1966), he had a 172 ERA+

I know that over a long season the Cubs will lose a few series like this to total crap teams....but it still really sucks when it happens. So, let's take 3 of 4 in STL and make us all feel a lot better.

I was at the game yesterday. Beautiful day, depressing game. There was a guy there wearing a shirt that had an image of a red plastic cup on it. Instead of "Solo Cup," it said "Soler Cub." So at least one cool thing came out of yesterday.

good news, the panels for the RF jumbotron have arrived and are expected to be installed by the next home series. revenue-rific.

they changed (and got approved) the signage scheme toward the end of 2014 to replace the proposed small RF signage with another big board in RF. it's supposed to be "sunk" a bit lower in the park's OF section so it shouldn't tower above the park like the board in LF, though.

White Sox announced signing of Tyler Colvin over the weekend, sent him to Charlotte. Brett Jackson off to a good start at Sacramento (Giants) before he hit the DL last week. (That's a familiar pattern with him.) Josh Vitters released by Rockies in late March. Hasn't turned up so far in any venue known to Baseball Reference.

wsox released 26yo 2009 1st rounder j.mitchell (23rd pick) after slashing .050/.174/.100 with 22K at AAA in 46PA to make room for colvin. blah blah blah obligatory reminder of everyone in the 2009 draft who didn't pick m.trout (who went 25th). in it's own odd way, it's an upgrade.

Does anybody understand what they are planning to do with the bullpens? The stuff I have heard -- under the bleachers (?) -- doesn't seem to make sense.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    5 IN A ROW!

    hack wilson, ryne sandberg, sammy sosa, christopher morel, and michael busch.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.

    Best hitter: IL with oblique strain

    Second best hitter: hasn’t looked the same since jamming his right hand during a swing

    Third best hitter: playing through a sore hammy

    Best pitcher: IL after one start 

    Second best RP: IL after 1.5 weeks

    right oblique strain.  ow.  that's generally more than a 10d thing.

    cooper and morel are on the field doing pre-game stuff so it's not them...

    I'll always remember his 3-0 No-hitter against the Braves when Aaron's HR was blown back into the LF well and BIlly Williams made the catch with his back against the ivy.
