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.

    Sure, they made generally short term trades for established players to enhance what they already had or traded for players early enough in their careers that they were essentially Cardinals from the start. What they never did was to try to use the more established players as foundational cornerstones.

    Essentially we’re saying the same thing. They have given up on player development to the point that even their prospects that make it to the bigs flop so that they have to do things like buy most of their rotation and hope for the best.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.
