Hendricks gave up 4 ER over 5.2 innings and lost in Cincinnati on Thursday. The Dodgers are 9-45 (.200) against him. Turner is 2-7 with a HR.
 
Wood beat the Mets his last time out (6 IP, 2 ER). The Cubs are 13-54 (.241) against him. Baez, who is probably going to get a start after the show yesterday, is 2-5.

1ip 0h 1bb 3k for maples...welcome back.

his command/control wasn't exactly sharp, but his slider was confusing the hitters...and a 97-99mph fastball backing it up doesn't hurt.

it's probably a good idea to give him a fresh inning and see if he's "got it" that night without putting a couple guys on base in the process...also, the catcher needs to be quite limber for that inning...

IF you think about it, only two pitchers in the rotation have had much success in the last 6 weeks. Its surprising they are only 2.5 games back.

In an interview with USA Today's Bob Nightengale after being fired, Chris Bosio claims he used the word "Spider Monkey" in the coaches' room of the clubhouse when referring to (white) LHP Daniel Stumpf ("Spider Monkey" is apparently what Bosio calls Stumpf because of the faces Stumpf makes when lifting weights) and was overheard by an African-American clubhouse guy who was offended by the name and filed a complaint. 

Bosio says Tigers GM Al Avila told him that he was being fired because MLB has a "zero tolerance policy" with regard to offensive comments/insensitive language.  

Bosio says he is "shocked" and "crushed" and may take legal action in response to what he believes was a "wrongful termination" by the Tigers. 

Bosio also mentions in passing that he and the offended clubhouse guy have been making "fat jokes" about one of the club's athletic trainers all season and that it's no big deal, it's just baseball.

On one hand, sure, it could have been an honest mix-up.

On the other hand, we're only hearing and likely only will hear Bosio's side of it, and he has every incentive in the world to cast himself as the victim of an honest mix-up.  And Gyeh, if I had a dollar for every time someone uses the defense Bosio uses, of "it couldn't have been racist because it wasn't the N-word..."  Usually a good tip-off that the person's understanding of workplace dynamics hasn't evolved past about 1965...

Stumpf has no knowledge of Bosio or anyone else ever calling him spider monkey as a nickname.  If any one wants to rush to Bosio's defense that this is just what he calls Stumpf, now would be the time to do it.  Silence, so far...

    Maybe Brewer

    He'd be able to leave the Cubs. He's out of options. That would open up a 40man spot.

    I don't think Jed would do that.

  • crunch (view)

    brewer has done nothing to keep him on the big league roster...imagine that's 1 guy gone.

    yeah, it's only 2 appearances, but they were both unimpressive.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Yeah it is.....sorry......closers don't throw 89mph

    It would be unique for sure.

    But CP can't be HR susceptible

    That's what Alzolay has right now and that's what Kyle has no matter the situation.

    Supposedly Happ said on a radio show he's good to go

    I hadn't read that anywhere from the usual accounts, so this could be off.

    If true, Canario goes down.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    Hmmm. Maybe my idea of transitioning Hendricks into a closer role isn’t so crazy.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mervis and Wesneski getting promoted aaccording to Tommy Birch from Des Moines Register.

    So Happ to the IL

    Maybe Hendricks to IL ????

    Mervis/Cooper are DH platoon

    Wisdom, Canario, Tauchman share LF/RF

    I wonder if Busch has ever played LF?

    I don't believe he has

    “I respect his track record of what he’s accomplished,” Counsell said on Sunday morning. “And you go through these. He’s gone through -- maybe not this particular stretch -- but stretches where you’re not pitching the way you want to and struggling. And you figure it out.” -- Counsell on Hendricks

    fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

    i respect his track record of no longer being in the rotation.  in 2016 he threw 2 innings out of the pen, his only work out of the pen.  the cubs won the world series that year.  let's repeat that magic.  the formula is obvious.  stats don't lie.  etc etc whatever...

    small sample size and all, but how about this craziness...

    "Entering Sunday, Hendricks had allowed an .843 OPS against hitters in their initial plate appearance, followed by a 1.056 OPS in a second meeting and a 2.449 OPS when seeing batters for a third time."

    Phil: Great to see what Rosario is doing!

    Do you think having Rosario may have influenced/impacted the front office's decision on including Hope in the trade for Busch at all?

  • crunch (view)

    it's so crazy we got a new "barnstorming" harlem globetrotters-type baseball product that was introduced less than 5 years ago and is wildly popular all over the nation.

    a notion left long in the past, unearthed, polished for modern audiences and popular as ever.

    No question right now Alfonsin Rosario is one of the Cubs Top 20 prospects (probably Top 15). Rosario is to the Cubs what Zyhir Hope is to the Dodgers.
