"Jon Lester (shoulder, lat) will throw a simulated game Monday. Lester tossed a successful 42-pitch bullpen session Friday, clearing the way for him to face hitters Monday." also, a.russell says he's feeling good.

dammit Q... the phillies...this is the phillies.

Heyo, everybody. (That's in lieu of anyone being in Parachat. Which I can't complain about since I haven't been there since October.)

AZ PHIL- I know this is thinking towards next spring but do you think that Dillon Maples could actually be the Cubs closer next year? If you look at it, it might not be impossible: -Justin Wilson- Was expected to be handed it, has been brutal since coming to Cubs -Wade Davis- Leaves for greener pastures -Hector Rondon- Traded/non-tendered. They not going to want to pay $6mil for a RHP who gives up more HR than BP machines -Carl Edwards Jr.- Ace RP first half, second half headed towards Rick Ankiel territory -Dillon Maples- His stock hasn't been higher since the day he got drafted and with a good spring, finally earn the $2.5mil sign bonus

CUBBIES-4-EVER::I think it's very possible that Dillon Maples could be in the 2018 Cubs Opening Day bullpen, but I doubt very much that he would begin the season as the closer. He could become the closer during the course of the season, however, but he would have to work his way into that role. 

In Boston for a meeting and to help my son get his stuff out of storage for his junior year of college. We went to Fenway tonight -- the Red Sox were brutally bad -- 5 errors, and phenom Benintendi made two of the worst throws I have ever seen from short LF. We left when it got to 13-3. If the Cubs face the Sox in the WS -- run on anything hit to LF. For those who worry about the commercialization of Wrigley...it could be worse -- I counted 30 signs/banners between the foul poles on almost every inch of the outfield walls and the Monstah. It looks like a NASCAR race. However, it is still great place to see a game, it was a beautiful night and Fenway Franks are really tasty. With Sale getting clobbered yesterday, and tonight's terrible showing by Porcello and the whole team, Sox fans are a bit on edge.

    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.

    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.

  • crunch (view)

    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

    alzolay...bro...
