d.smyly has been shut down for the season.

he's allegedly healthy...they just don't think he'll be stretched out enough to contribute before the season ends or something whatever.

Every time I think the Cubs have the division locked up, they start losing and Brews/Cards start winning.  Every time I think the Cubs are falling apart and may lose the division, they start winning.  With that in mind, here is my prediction for this series with the Brewers:

Today: Win (3 games up)

Tomorrow: Lose (2 games up)

Wednesday: 24 inning tie game, finished at a later date.

Is Maddon high?  Not the situation to insert Carl Jr with his current struggles

Joe left Lester in after he was clearly hurt.  Two outs, nobody on.  A single and a double later, he brings in CJ to uncork a first-pitch WP which brings in the go-ahead (edit: Winning) run.  Try to limit yourself to one stupid decision per inning, please.  Cubs, Bears, Kopech, NU loses to Duke -- too much bad sports karma around Chicago right now. Oh, and Matt Adams just hit a 3-run bomb in the 8th to give STL the lead.  Literally every bit of sports news over the last 3 days has been bad. Woof. 

Edit: This loss is completely on Maddon.  Inexcusable decisions on Lester and CJ.  Beyond dumb.

Oof. Lester vs Miley and the Cubs appear out-classed in all phases of the game. I did like Zobrist's army crawl retrieving the ball in the RF corner earlier but not a lot of juice otherwise.

And for God's sake, can a Cub pitcher retire Lorenzo Cain one time this game?

    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.

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

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

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.

    i have no hard data, but i'm seeing the same thing.

    there used to be some parks where that was rampant (colorado during the todd helton days comes to mind), but i'm seeing it all over the place the past couple seasons.

    I’ll spare the details which I’ve stated before but, in short, the Cardinals have lost their sight of their successful identity and strategy over last several dominant decades. From the beginning of the season I saw the Cardinals being in last place or near it again this year, and my prediction is that Mozeliak will be gone after the end of the season.

    I would have kept Cooper rather than Wisdom, but at least I can understand why they did it.  In a team that lacks dominant power hitters, Wisdom can be a dominant power hitter, at least in streaks.  I suppose that there is always the possibility that the streaks longer in both duration and frequency.  I will be content if they essentially make a 100 % DH commitment to Mervis against righties and Wisdom against lefties.  When a regular needs rest, give them total rest, rather than a DH rest.  Do this for at least 2 months, and then re-evaluate at that point.

    This is Cubs adjacent but…


    Jordan Walker just was optioned by the deadbirds. For all the talk of the Cardinals development machine, they’ve really missed on a lot of can’t miss superstars lately. Walker has struggled. Gorman has been okay. They’re already trying to push Carlson out the door. Their pitching system has been so bad they had to go out and sign basically a full rotation over the last two offseasons.

    They’ve still developed a few of those pesky solid players, like Donovan, Edman, and Nootbaar. Their two best prospect to MLB players have been Adolis and Arozarena, neither of which is a cardinal.

    I hope they never figure it out again. Cardinal failure brings me such joy.
