Hammel gave up 1 ER in 5 innings for a no-decision in Cinci on Tuesday. He hasn’t won a game since he beat Washington on June 6. He’s 0-2 with a 2.98 since then. In his 4 career starts against the Phills, he’s 1-2 with a 6.58 ERA. They are 9-34 (.265) against him. Francouer is 4-9 (.444). 

The 22y/o Nola lost (6 IP, 1 ER, 6 Ks, 1 BB) to Tampa Bay in his MLB debut last week. He went a combined 10-4 with a 2.39 ERA in the minor leagues. The LSU Tiger was the Phills first-round pick in the draft last year. He was the fourth first rounder from that class to play this year--after Finnegan, Rodon, and our man Schwarber.
 

Go Cubs!

maddon ordered the team not to take BP today, fwiw. get no-hit, cancel BP the next day. moneyballs. it's PHI...the cubs should win even if they showed up at the park after spending the morning golfing and drinking.

Not to nit-pick with the last sentence but . . . Wasn't Conforto of the Mets also selected in the first round last year and had a helluva a game for the Mets last night? Looking forward to seeing Nola, he was this armchair GM's choice for the Cubs last season. Glad they didn't listen to me. Still, a polished, middle of the rotation starter that would have filled a need wouldn't have been the end of the world.

Nola debued first. I changed "is" to "was" which accounts for Conforto--which I was too lazy to check on. Grammar is never nitpicky.

for a "weak-ish" draft class, there's not only been some quick trips to the majors, but a lot of the guys still in the minors are doing really well. going into the draft it was pretty much a given who the top-3 guys were and they went in picks 1-3. it was a toss-up after that. it could end up being one of the best draft classes in quite a while.

Bryant misses a 3-rn HR by about 2 feet, then Rizzo drills a bullet right at the 2B for a DP. C'mon Luck -- we need ya on our side today!

..until more terrible Phillie players score off of one of our top 3 starters. #7 & #8 hitters, and the pitcher, on the worst team on baseball. Truly remarkable. Given the opponent, pitching match ups (including Arrietta/Hamels) and where the Cubs were in the standings, this has the potential to be the worst home series in a long, long, loooong time. Imagine what you could have got in Vegas for betting a Phillies sweep. Meanwhile, the Pirates win against Scherzer and the Mets are beating Greinke. Hope Joe has more magicians on speed dial.

This underlines my comment post-game yesterday. They overachieved until this point. I hope they can at least finish around .500 by the end of the year. I suppose the silver lining is Theo will not be pressured to give up choice prospects for a rental player this year.

d.ross warming in the pen...looks like we get a clown show to finish up this game. cubs down by 9...sigh. cubs down by 7...woo a.russell HR (1st since june 17).

Rough weekend. Worst offense in the NL beats our 3 top starters. We can't beat Jerome Williams. Motte blows a save and our two All-Stars can't get the winning run in from second in the 9th to help him out. Hey, it happens. Who's up next? Oh, good! A last place team is coming to town....and they have scored 10 runs through 3 innings so far today. Cue the scary music. May be time for Joe to set a curfew for the kids -- Cubs are now 4 under in day games, +9 at night.

Actually, coming in to the weekend, things felt pretty good -- 8 games over, 4-3 road trip out of the break, great pitching match-ups against the Phils coming up, Schwarber!....then the tough loss Friday, get shut down by a good pitcher Saturday, and a throw-away game Sunday. And the Giants are on fire, which makes this weekend feel even worse. But, the Cubs have never been more than +9 vs. .500, now they are +5. Not that big of a swing. But, I agree -- other than Schwarber and Fowler, nobody is hitting much. On days that Ross catches, 6-9 in the lineup is pretty brutal. Early in the year, I think we were all surprised how much teams were pitching around Bryant and giving him nothing to hit. Now, they seem to be going after him more. It's as if he were a mythical figure that teams now realize is still a rookie with a huge uppercut. His BA and OBP have plummeted recently. Interesting race for NL Rookie of the year -- other than Pederson's 21 HR, nobody really has any eye-popping stats.

Let's put up a good week against the Rockies and ARam-less Brewers, and things will feel much better next Sunday.

    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.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

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

  • crunch (view)

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

  • Cubster (view)

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

  • crunch (view)

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."
