CHC (77-63): RHP John Lackey (11-10, 4.74) 
First pitch: 7:05pmCST

Friday night's alright for fighting. 

Lackey beat the Braves (7 IP, 0 ER, 5 K, 0 BB) on Friday. He’s 1-1 with a 4.50 in two starts against the Brewers this season. Overall, they are 35-133 (.263) against him. Santana is 5-12 with a HR.

Nelson won against the Nationals his last time out, keeping them off the board for 7 innings and striking out 11. He’s 0-0 with a 6.35 in two games against the Cubs this season. For their careers, the Cubs are 38-161 (.236) against him. Heyward is 7-25 against him.

The Cubs enter the weekend with a five-game lead over the Brewers and Cardinals. 

Anderson (8-3) and Montgomery (5-7) throw tomorrow at 3:05pmCST.    

Go Cubs!

I hope the Happ leadoff thing last night was an audition for next year: - Happ CF - Schwarber LF (Almora CF, Happ to LF vs. LHP) - Bryant 3B - Rizzo 1B - Contreras C - Heyward RF - Baez 2B - Russell SS Caratini, Zobrist, Almora and one more on the bench. I know Joe doesn't like or use a "set lineup", but I hope this is the group that is out there most days. Zo would become a utility backup player (I assume Russell will get even more days off next year, given his annual breakdowns). It will be interesting to see if Joe is willing to make that move.

Dillon Maples? Will Joe give Dillon Maples a shot tonight since Wilson pitched last night?

Willson Contreras goes 1-2 in four PA as DH at Myrtle Beach -- ground single to left, two walks (one intentional), and a pop-out to 2nd (P-4) to end the game and the Pelicans season.

ryan* braun* HR* #300* also, lackey has had 4 balls in the 1st hit warning track deep. braun's went over the wall. boo.

Lackey is a servicible #5 pitcher. Just like J Hammel, however, I would NEVER put him on the Playoff roster should they make it cause you're behind the 8-ball after the 2nd inning.

taylor davis's hair featuring taylor davis is making him MLB debut in the 7th. i miss his pre-haircut look. whatever. good for him for finally getting a taste of the bigs. ...and he K's. still, another victory for a modern domestic undrafted FA player making it to the bigs. he's no kevin millar, but it's still a nice 'check it out' to all the teams that passed on him.

Cubs efforts to manipulate the schedule have backfired so far. The No-Rain rainout vs. MIL was made up and the Brewers crushed the Cubs -- moving today's game from afternoon to night hasn't gone well, either. Bizarre offense this year -- they either score a ton of runs or none at all.

Zobrist at cleanup again. That is simply idiotic. No possible logical reason for it. What the hell is Maddon trying to prove?

The only explanation I can come up with that I could defend even a little bit is that Joe feels for some reason that Bryant and Rizzo HAVE to bat 2 and 3 and that of the rest of the guys on the current roster, Zobrist is least likely to get over-amped or flustered by batting clean-up. My real belief is that Zobrist has pictures of Joe buying crappy wine and putting it in good bottles.

I'm not optimistic that the Cubs will win one game this series. But maybe Monty can throw a gem.

    25 games played with a -85 run differential.  insane.

    White Sox DFA Bailey Horn. I'm thinking the Cubs would love to get him back although they probably won't have a decent chance of claiming him without another swap.

    WSox also call up former Cub Rafael Ortega (and additionally Tommy Pham). They are hurting and having a gawd awful April.

    White Sox DFA'd Bailey Horn.

    He wasn't producing good results in Charlotte (AAA).

    But Jed might bring him back with that open 40man spot. Then try the "sneak him thru waivers" gambit.

    Oh my, now I will have nightmares of me sitting in the bowels of the Wrigley security detention cell.

    One more thing...

    One of the reasons I come to this site...

     ...in addition to Arizona Phil, who is, as we all know, a treasure trove of well-written fresh information, honest evaluation, and sneaky-subtle humor regarding the entire Cub organization...

    ... is CubbyBlue and Tim's fantastic and timely visual takes on the Cubs (to be fair, he does have a much broader Chicago-flavored brush well beyond the Cubs).  Thanks for so many memorable images.  I am fortunate to own (one of my prize possessions) a print that I framed (55/200) of "The Last Out" with KB's shit-eating grin as he fields the series winning out of the 2016 WS.

    Tim, will you visit me if I do the text security thingy and description: Tim S? Or will I find myself in a Cub detention cell.

    i.e. "or send a text message to 773-839-**** with the keyword "Friendly" and include your seat location and a description of your issue.

    Incredible moment. Huge part of the fun of working there is when something magic like that happens, and you get to interact with baseball fans. 

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    That bear hug was indeed awesome. Word is that Dansby has become an outstanding clubhouse leader and that moment really demonstrated it. That reaction was one of a proud coach/mentor who’s student just excelled. I’m not even sure who was more overjoyed, Dansby or PCA. A veteran expressing that kind of unabashed support and enthusiasm for a struggling rookie is beyond fantastic to see.

    BAHAHA! I've actually not seen a single fight, but can't wait to see 70 degrees for sure!

  • crunch (view)

    next time i roll up into wrigley i'll try to start a fist fight and maybe we'll meet.

    be prepared.  i'm gonna make you earn your money.

    seriously, though...that's a cool as hell "retirement" assignment.  i imagine it will be better with warmer nights.
