Phenom update:  Since the A/S break:

Gleybar Torres: .215 BA, .303 OBP, .649 OPS

Baseball continues to be hard.

When reporting the story of Murphy's "gay lifestyle" comments, the media should distinguish between Billy Bean (who nobody had heard of before this) and Billy Beane (who was played by Brad Pitt in a major movie and everybody knows).  In addition to the name similarity, they both were highly-touted OF prospects from California who never had much success at the MLB level.  I consider myself pretty up on baseball stuff, and I wasn't sure if there were two Billys or one.

In case nobody noticed, Javy has been a beast since mid-June.  .337/.372/.623/.995 since June 11 with 14 HR and 51 RBI.  Woo.

also, j.bautista is going to PHI in trade from NYM so there's that.

Plan for tonight is to hold 'em close and get into the Mets' pen.  Unfortunately, it's not good Lester weather -- hot with the wind blowing out pretty good.

Submitted by Eric S on Mon, 08/27/2018 - 08:25 pm

Lester may not pitch well in the heat, but he can at least hit in it. Big two out, bases loaded single there.

lester pickoff throw to 1st!

like...one that was in the air...and got to the 1st baseman's glove...and got an out.  neat.

a few more of those and maybe people will quit taking 20+ foot leads off him.

mess of a 9th, but no runs scored and the cubs win.

cubs gain a 1/2 game on MIL + STL (not playing tonight).

Two extra scoops of ice cream for whoever scouted Chavez.  That was a total "whaaaa?" trade, and he's been awesome.

They rework his mechanics over the winter or he becomes Theo's Carl Crawford of Chicago.  Get the knife and fork to eat some contract.

Not sure I would go that far. There is a 4 year and $100+mil gap between the Chatwalk and Carl Crawford deals and that doesn't even account for salary inflation. J-Hey would be the closer comp in terms of size/length of contract. Just trade the human charity walkathon to the A's. Sure he will develop into a decent pitcher along with former Cubs, E-Jax, Cahill and Brett Anderson.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    This was Jaxon Wiggins previous "live" BP on 4/5: 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING (20 pitches - 10 strikes) 
    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis) 
    one HBP (B. Davis)
    two strikeouts (Peralta & Escobar - both looking)
    three swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    four called strikes
    nine called balls

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS: 
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS: 
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP

    wall stole a HR from busch...double.  nice to see him destroy a curve ball.

    upon further viewing, that might not have been a homer in too many parks...it had a lot of hang time, though.

  • CTSteve (view)

    I’m at the game—woot!

    If the streak breaks, it’s not my fault.
