The plan continues to come together. Brewers beat PIT, then PIT beats STL this weekend while the Brewers flail on their pending 9-game trip to COL, SF and LAD, and simply quit and go home. Cubs win this series vs. CIN, then vs. TOR and @CIN and @ PHI. Theo had this all mapped out months ago.

damn. it's taken lackey about 8 minutes to throw 7 pitches...for a double and a walk with 0 out.

Bases loaded, no outs and only one run scored -- and came within about five feet of giving up a grand slam -- whew.

Submitted by Eric S on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:19 pm

Bam Bam two strong, accurate throws in one week nailing guys at the plate. Definitely out there for the leather.

Submitted by blockhead25 on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:40 pm

Guy can't throw a strike...11 strikes (including balls in play) 17 balls...why the heck are you swinging 3-0???

Submitted by crunch on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:48 pm

crazy as hell the reds only have 1 run after 2ip of what lackey has been doing. turrible. 45 pitches of garbage. someone give that guy a wrigley field $9.75 budweiser and a bench to sit on. grimm can go 5 innings, right?

If Montgomery isn't already up and throwing in the pen, he should be. And Joe should make sure Lackey knows it.

Submitted by Eric S on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:03 pm

Pennant race aside, there is a sort of curiosity factor of keeping Lackey out there ... a carnival freak show of near catastrophe

Submitted by Eric S on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:58 pm

Haven't checked to verify, but it seems that the Cubs have scored early and often in Lackey's starts since the all star break and he's pitched pretty well with those leads. I'd like to see that trend continue

Seems an appropriate turn of events given the wackiness of this game. At least the Reds burned their closer last night - you would think.

Submitted by crunch on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:34 pm

maddon is mad. also, the umps are bums. ...and maddon ejected.

Really weird - at what point does time elapse on a swing. It clearly looked like the bat didn't break the zone on the bunt - only after he got hit and when he was tossing the bat to the dugout

Submitted by crunch on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:42 pm

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! cubs win on a f'n wild pitch.

Submitted by billybucks on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:45 pm

They lost to the Brewers the same way. Same pitcher I think. Huge W. that would have been a brutal loss. Very similar to the first post-AS game.

Submitted by Eric S on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:47 pm

Perfect way to end this game. 8th inning still problematic but at least Wade looked pretty sharp tonight - I believe only his sixth appearance this month.

I thought Edwards' pitch to Duvall was in a pretty good location -- a slider right at the knees on the outside of the plate. It looked like a good strike and Duvall really had to reach for it one-handed. Maybe it didn't break sharply enough (I couldn't tell) and/or maybe he was sitting on a slider but I thought it was a pretty good pitch until it sneaked into the first row of the bleachers.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
