murphy is nice and all, but not having a good place to play him sucks.  baez the 3rd baseman isn't great stuff and murphy the 2nd baseman is average on the best of days.

Kyle with 6 Ks, 0 BBs thru 4 innings ... with 3 unearned runs.

Now 4 runs, 1 earned - 3 runs scored with two outs.  Nats not missing the mistakes.

CHC fans quickly learning why a guy who played for KC for 4 season without a hit was so popular...

The Carl Jr 8th inning, close game experience consistently leaves me queasy - where's my Dramamine?

Big W -- gotta win the non-Max games.  Plus, they had to be tired -- supposedly got in very late, and this is their 5th city in 9 days.  On the confidence graph, the Justin Wilson and Carl Edwards lines keep going in opposite directions.

Bote's clearly bought himself a playoff roster spot with his late-game heroics. But how will they use him, assuming Bryant is healthy?

Also, in whatever AL games are left, do you DH Schwarber or Murphy?

    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)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.
