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.

    steele MRI on friday.  counsell expects an IL stint.

    no current plans for his rotation replacement.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it
