Beeler returns as the 26th man in his second start of the season. He gave up 2 ER in 5 innings against the Cards on July 7th but had a no decision in a game the Cubs went on to win 5-3. He also pitched last July in Cinci when he gave up 4 ER in 5 innings for the loss. The Reds are 5-15 against him.

Cingrani returns from the DL (shoulder) to make his first start since June 9 of last year. (He had been working out of the bullpen.) The Cubs are 16-53 (.302) against him. Rizzo is 4-14 with a HR.

 

This line-up: oof.

Go Cubs!

Game 2 = Game 1. Fun day in Cincy! Edit: Stepped out for dinner -- just back now. What a game! What the hell?

Is this going to be remembered as the Dallas Beeler game? Ah, no.

Orioles released (after DFA last week) Wesley Wright. I thought I saw an extra feather in Theo's cap today.

man on 2nd..2 out...7th inning...tie game...teagarden + schwarb on the bench... hammel pinch hits. a'ite then...whatever.

Can someone tell me what happened with Castro's error? The Box says 2 runs were unearned? WTF did he do now?

i really wanna see that fan on the field footage based on how amazed the reds announcers are... it sounds like he actually made it out of the stadium without getting caught...and maybe took a selfie while doing it...and was extremely athletic...

Len/JD defended the sending of Fowler, mostly because you don't get many scoring chances vs Chapman as well as they still would have a runner in scoring position. It did take a good throw by Byrd and after the collision, Pena did a good job of holding on to the ball. All's well that ends well. Taylor Teagarden (Blind Squirrel) found a nut.

TEAGARDEN! hell yeah, cubs take the lead in the top 9th off f'n chapman.

This season is beginning to get some mojo.....two remarkable wins to split this series. A 4-3 trip -- could have hoped for better, given the competition, but -- wow! Gotta love Maddon -- after the Reds IBB to load 'em up for Beeler in the third, he pinch-hits Bryant, who comes through. Mojo, baby --- yeah!!!

...and, I know they're all young and MLB is brutal on most rookies, but the potential for Schwarber/Bryant/Rizzo/Soler to get on a combined hot streak is something to watch for every game. Their talent and flashes of performance have raised expectations beyond what is probably reasonable for now, but....maybe....

After watching Teagarden last night, I thought the Cubs' only chance to score was a wild pitch. Now THAT'S how you split a series. Holy cow!

By the way -- since the break, Russell is 7-19 with 4 walks. No pop, but he is getting on base. Nice to see.

Pick up a half game on the Pirates and Mets, lose a half game to the Giants -- much better than I had hoped after the 2nd inning.

Stoopid WSux, Damn Cardinals/Molina. But listening to whiny WSox fans on the radio, sublime. Just win Cubs.

The Cardinals did not get a competitive balance pick for 2016. That's good news. Royals and Mariners didn't get one either, despite being eligible.

And it begins! First major trade: Kazmir goes from A's to Astros for two prospects (both at high A ball).

"Former major leaguer and current MLB Network analyst Eric Byrnes will serve as the “strike zone umpire” for both games." i misread that as "former MLB Network analyst" and got stoked that they finally cut him loose. his aggro/hype take on everything can be draining unless you're into that kind of person.

A-Ram back to Pirates to help bite Cubs in the ass one more time before he rides off into Reverse Chalupa retirement.

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be heard...unedited. 40 years, wow.

    Does he have any options left, Phil?

    morel in the lineup and playing 3rd.

    Richard Lovelady one walk & 20 K, 22 hits but no HR, high ERA, and two-to-one GB to FB in 12.1 IP, so I would guess that's why he got the call. Sort of the exact opposite of Luke Little. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Definitely surprised about Dick Lovelady. He has a phenomenal name but that’s probably the best thing he’s got. I was kinda hoping for Wieck even though he’s apparently still tossing 86 as his heater 

  • crunch (view)

    wicks 15d DL...cubs select...get ready for this one...richard f'n lovelady.  lovelady's stregnths include being able to throw a ball left handed and that's about it.

    also little optioned, palencia up.

    Open 40 man spot might see the return of CJ. He’s been okay in Iowa. Teheran has been rocked in his starts this year. SSS of course.

    Wouldn’t be shocked seeing another 40 man spot open with Brewer losing his spot.

    Word is that Counsell thought Mervis and Wisdom got too much work in yesterday so it will be Wesneski.
