bryant...10 times on base in 11 attempts. loving that ballpark. ...make that 11 out of 12 ...make that 12 out of 14 6 singles, 2 doubles, 1hr, 2bb, 1hbp

Atlanta Braves bullpen not very interested in stopping the Cardinals win streak. Cubs hitters not very interested in scoring runs with Bryant at third with no outs - painful.

Six straight Ks for Bam Bam and coming nowhere close to making contact ... make that seven straight.

Rizzo's funk continues. 0 XBH and one RBI in his last 10 games -- KB on 3rd with no out -- ground ball to the pitcher. He has always been a hot/cold guy -- hopefully a return to Wrigley will get him going.

9 LOB with Schwarb, Caratini, Rizzo alone. ANY situational hitting and its 3-1 or 4-1. Guess Zack Godley has something to do with it.

Wow - best work I've seen from Carl Jr in a while. Seems more at ease pitching to lefties than rightees - breaking ball seems to work real well.

I know this is being sent after the fact but much rather take my chances with JHey than Javy. A mistake pitch goes yard for Javy - very unlikely so with JHey. And we'll done Happ!

Excellent win! Win a road series vs. a quality team (and a quality starter), Jake was terrific, CJ looked very good, KB is looking great and Javy continues his excellent second half at the plate (although I much prefer him at 2B defensively). Time to break out the bats at Wrigley!

Fun weekend in AZ to see the Cubs play... Went on Friday and today, so for once I got to see the Cubs win both games I've attended. Lot's of homeruns, and I even called the back to back shot by Happ! On another note, checking in on how Dillon Maples has been doing in AAA, he's got 21 K and 5 BB, .205 BAA, 1.11 WHIP, not to mention that he gets lots of ground balls. I'm thinking if any changes are needed in the bullpen, that he may be the next man up. What a great turnaround to his baseball career 2017 has been. The only thing to make it better would be if he can stick around with the big league club and have a good career.

lingering so long in R/A/A+ (and not good at all in A+ last year)...and now he's K'ing guys in AA/AAA like a high-end prospect. go figure. the walk numbers are a bit uncomfortable, but he's mowing them down as a 25 year old. no idea what he'll do with MLB players, but there's years to figure it out cheaply.

    madrigal at 3rd...morel at DH.

    making room for madrigal or/and masterboney to get a significant amount of ABs is a misuse of the roster.  if it needed to get taken care of this offseason, they had tons of time to figure that out.

    morel played almost exclusively at 3rd in winter ball and they had him almost exclusively there all spring when he wasn't DH'ing.

    madrigal doing a good job with the glove for a bit over 2 chances per game...is that worth more than what he brings with the bat 4-5 PA a game?  it's 2024 and we got glenn beckert 2.0 manning 3rd base.

    this is a tauchman or cooper DH situation based on bat, alone.  cooper is 3/7 with a double off eovaldi if you want to play the most successful matchup.

    anyway, i hope this is a temporary thing, not business as usual for the rest of the season.

    There are two clear "logjams" in the Cubs minor league pipeline at the present time, namely AA outfielders (K. Alcantara, C. Franklin, Roederer, Pagan, Pinango, Beesley, and Nwogu) and Hi-A infielders (J. Rojas, P. Ramirez, Howard, R. Morel, Pertuz, R. Garcia, and Spence, although Morel has been getting a lot of reps in the outfield in addition to infield). So it is possible that you might see a trade involving one of the extra outfielders at AA and/or one of the extra infielders at Hi-A in the next few days.

    18-year old SS Jefferson Rojas almost made the AA Tennessee Opening Day roster, and he is a legit shortstop, so I would expect him to be an MLB Top 100 prospect by mid-season. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Among the relievers in the system, I expect RHRP Hunter Bigge at AAA Iowa and RHRP Ty Johnson at South Bend to have breakout seasons on 2024, and among the starters I see LHP Drew Gray and RHP Will Sanders at South Bend and RHP Naz Mule at ACL Cubs as the guys who will make the biggest splash. Also, Jaxon Wiggins is throwing bullpen sides, so once he is ready for game action he could be making an impact at Myrtle Beach by June.

    I expect OF Christian Franklin to have a breakout season at AA Tennessee in 2024. In another organization that doesn't have PCA, Caissie, K. Alcantara, and Canario in their system, C. Franklin would be a Top 10 prospect.

    The Reds trading Joe Boyle for Sam Moll at last year's MLB Trade Deadline was like the Phillies trading Ben Brown to the Cubs for David Robertson at the MLB TD in 2022.

    Javier Assad started the Lo-A game (Myrtle Beach versus Stockton) on the Cubs backfields on Wednesday as his final Spring Training tune-up. He was supposed to throw five innings / 75 pitches. However, I was at the minor league road games at Fitch so I didn't see Assad pitch.

    cards put j.young on waivers.

    they really tried to make it happen this spring, but he put up a crazy bad slash of .081/.244/.108 in 45PA.
