Comments

Alec Mills has been optioned to AAA Iowa presumably to make room on the 25-man roster for Mike Montgomery, and James Norwood has been returned to Iowa after serving as the "26th man" yesterday. Also, LHP Danny Hultzen has been moved-up to Iowa from AZL Cubs #1.  

cubs snag bobby wilson (C) from the twins.  twins get c.gimenez.

D-only catcher...horrible bat, not even power.

c.mazzoni DFA'd

Wilson was obtained because every team wants t have a third post-season-eligible catcher, in case he is needed. If Willson Contreras or Victor Caratini go on concussion protocol (or worse) in the post-season, they want an experienced catcher.

 

Wilson qualifies, and didn't cost much in exchange. The Cubs didn't want Gimenez (or Taylor Davis) being the third catcher.

The road trip from hell begins.  Not a good pitching matchup to start.

tie game and heyward is kneeling in the outfield waitin for a trainer to check him out.

...and he's limping off the field.  looks like he banged up his right knee diving for a ball...could be his ankle, but he's not walking like he's favoring his ankle.

almora jr in.

...and the braves are doing their dumb ass "tommy hawk chawp" thing

montgomery out, kintzler in with a man on 3rd.

maddon's gonna just keep trying to make this kintzler thing happen.

LA STELLA 2r HR!  cubs lead!

1st of the year...caratini got his 1st of the year not long ago, himself.

    steele MRI on friday.  counsell expects an IL stint.

    no current plans for his rotation replacement.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it).

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it
