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.

    Have to admit I was initially disappointed the Cubs traded away the upside of Jackson Ferris but Busch is making a believer out of me.  If I still lived in midwest guessing we would have invented some drink special named a Busch Bomb at the local drinking establishment to celebrate his homers.

    per Tribune: Suzuki MRI results pending from yesterday so we should get a timetable for return later today.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.

    Best hitter: IL with oblique strain

    Second best hitter: hasn’t looked the same since jamming his right hand during a swing

    Third best hitter: playing through a sore hammy

    Best pitcher: IL after one start 

    Second best RP: IL after 1.5 weeks

    right oblique strain.  ow.  that's generally more than a 10d thing.
