It's June 28th and JHey has a higher OPS than Rizzo (337/414/752 vs 334/407/741) -- simultaneously encouraging and discouraging.

Even though he's not scheduled to pitch today, Tyler Chatwood must be reinstated from the Paternity Leave List prior to this afternoon's game. (A player can spend a maximum of three days on the Paternity List).

The only way Chatwood can remain off the 25-man roster is if he is transferred to the Restricted List (which is an approved but unpaid Leave of Absence) or to the Bereavement/Family Medical Emergency List (but only if there was a medical complication stemming from the childbirth).

Cubs sure are adept at walking opposing pitchers. On four pitches no less - at least the bases weren't loaded this time.

“I’m not going to sit here and say that I deserve to be a general manager of a baseball team, because I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, mistakes that could have disrupted my career path and put me in a whole different area, and a whole different experience in my life.”

dayton moore (KC) needs to quit saying things that make it sound like he wants to sign luke heimlich...cuz it keeps sounding like he really wants to sign luke heimlich.

this is a dude who considers his faith to be the most important thing in his life...and also the dude who brought an anti-porn presentation speaker to lecture the royals last season.

taking farrell out with 1 out left in the game, no one on, and a 6 run lead.

when maddon over-manages, he does it in style.

Brandon Morrow threw six pitches in the game:

Max Muncy:
1. FB-98 (foul)
2. CT-94 (line drive single to RF)

Cody Bellinger:
1. FB-98 (called strike - outside corner)
2. FB-98 (ball - high)
3. FB-98 (foul)
4. SL-91 (fly out to warning track in CF)

FB command was good but his CT and SL (one of each) had too much velo and not enough break.

That was one hell of an impressive W!  Down 3-1 in LA in the last game of a discouraging road trip -- then what a rally!  Should be a fun plane ride home.  It's almost like Javy senses the team needs him to be better and more focused with KB out -- he has been vey impressive.  7-11 w/RISP.  That'll do.

    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.

    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.
