cheer up, the cubs have david bote and duane underwood! seriously, though...getting Q for 2.5 seasons for a total cost of $25-ish million wasn't going to be cheap in trade. i got no complaints about that trade.

He's been a modest tick above average offensively by both wRC+ and OPS+ this year even while striking out almost 40% of the time. If he gets those strikeouts back to a more reasonable ~30% or lowers them (as we saw Baez and Bryant do in different ways and to different degrees), who's to say he's not a well above average hitter? As tim points out below, you never get to see that if he doesn't play. The defense doesn't compare to Almora's, of course. And with Schwarber's resurgence and Heyward's relative hot stretch, it is getting harder to see playing time for him. But things could change at any time. I like that he's getting some ABs.

What inning will Hendricks give up his first HR tonight? I’m going with 2nd. Votto.

Why is Hancock up over Maples? Kinda surprising since Maples has been really good in Iowa lately. Hancock struggled a bit in AAA before coming up and struggled against LAD. Maybe it could have to due with figuring out who starts Saturday's game (could be someone from Iowa), but Farrell makes the most sense to start Saturday's game imo.

harvey is throwing 97-98mph...hendricks is throwing 88-89mph.

that radar gun is too hot to hold. dunno if i'd trust the gun tonight.

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be heard...unedited. 40 years, wow.

    Does he have any options left, Phil?

    morel in the lineup and playing 3rd.

    Richard Lovelady one walk & 20 K, 22 hits but no HR, high ERA, and two-to-one GB to FB in 12.1 IP, so I would guess that's why he got the call. Sort of the exact opposite of Luke Little. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Definitely surprised about Dick Lovelady. He has a phenomenal name but that’s probably the best thing he’s got. I was kinda hoping for Wieck even though he’s apparently still tossing 86 as his heater 

  • crunch (view)

    wicks 15d DL...cubs select...get ready for this one...richard f'n lovelady.  lovelady's stregnths include being able to throw a ball left handed and that's about it.

    also little optioned, palencia up.

    Open 40 man spot might see the return of CJ. He’s been okay in Iowa. Teheran has been rocked in his starts this year. SSS of course.

    Wouldn’t be shocked seeing another 40 man spot open with Brewer losing his spot.

    Word is that Counsell thought Mervis and Wisdom got too much work in yesterday so it will be Wesneski.
