Whoops! Thought we had another night game in store. Life is a bit hectic with a cross-country move starting on Friday and an academic conference right after that. I am feeling especially open to sharing gameday thread duties for a while! If not, it's possible I just miss some.

almora HR!

single and a HR through 2ab.  that should raise his average since to break to like .150 or something.

rizzo ejected for running his mouth and caratini's in to play 1st...and bryant is out of the game for some reason.

caratini 1st, bote 3rd...ryan in replacing chatwood.

this all went downhill fast.

Lot of ducks being left on the pond. Cubs have had a lot of chances to blow this one open. Good thing blowing lost opportunities never seem to come back and bite them, particularly on the road.  Looking forward to Stropy-time in the 8th!

Almost a drama free ninth inning for Kimbrel - but it worked out in the end (Schwarber with some heart attack moments in LF all game) - Cubs win!

*and hopefully KB gets back healthy soon

lester to start saturday (vs MIL).

CHC won, MIL won, and STL is most likely going to win (leading by 9 in the 6th).

Rowan Wick was a position-player (C-OF) the first four years of his pro career (with STL) and hit 246/326/469 with 34 HR in 186 minor league games (758 PA) prior to becoming a pitcher, but Brad Brach (who had eight PA over the course of 14 pro seasons coming into yesterday's game) PH for Wick?

Obviously there is a reason why Wick was moved to pitcher (he struck out a LOT and was unable to advance out of single-A as a RF), but even given that, wouldn't Wick have been a better choice than Brach to bat in that spot?

JACKSTRAW: I doubt that the possibility that Wick could be injured while batting (or while running the bases) was the reason Brach PH for him, since Kyle Hendricks PH with two outs and nobody on base in the 12th inning Tuesday night and I suspect the Cubs would be much more concerned with the possibility that Hendricks might get hurt while batting (or while running the bases) than would be the case with a Chicago - Des Moines shuttle-rider like Wick. 
 
Also, giving away an AB with only one out in the 6th with just a three-run lead (it was 4-1 not 14-1) doesn't make a whole lot of sense either, especially since Wick has considerable professional experience as a hitter (and clealy has HR power) while Brach clearly does not.  

So the move remains a mystery (at least it does for me).

    Things I've been wrong about:

    -Tauchman is fine as a 4th OF. I knew that. I just want a better LH DH option and he was really the DH for us until Seiya got hurt. I'm glad Mervis is getting a chance at it. Caissie is coming for that job for sure. But Tauchman continues to be highly useful as a 4th OF with Seiya being hurt

    -I wanted Yency to go to get guys at Iowa a chance. Guys like Palencia and Sanders or RileyT. Maybe even Hodge! But Yency has been better the last two plus weeks. He did hit 96 the other day. He was 93 in Texas to open the season.

    -Leiter has his split working enough. It just needs to stay there

    -I was surprised Jed picked Wisdom over Cooper. I wonder if this happens if Seiya wasn't hurt. Wisdom has more power. Cooper is the better hitter. Jed picked Wisdom and Wisdom had an option left as well.

    -Palencia just doesn't miss enough bats. Similar to ManRod, just two yrs younger. ManRod is killing AAA for TB right now!

    Things I got right so far:

    -Hendricks. Sorry Kyle. You got paid though!

    Jed, you missed there.

    -Smyly. If Jed could've traded him before or during ST, then he should have and saved some cash.

    -Mastro.  Not a LH DH. Pinch runner. Defensive utility. Maybe he's better than Madrigal but didn't get a legit chance to prove it.

    -Luke Little is good. He's had one bad outing. That's it. Needs to get better entering with guys on base. But he needs to stay in MLB.

    -Oh yeah....Morel is doing fine at 3B! He'll get better as well!!

    bellinger "right rib contusion"

  • Childersb3 (view)

    South Bend just lost the lead in the bottom of the 9th on the weirdest scenario, ever.

    It's absolutely pouring rain....men on 1st and 2nd, 1out....JPatterson asks for a new ball, but no time out was called....he throws the old ball toward the dugout (not sure if it rolled out of play).....the ump declares the runners get two bases each so one run scores. Then a single up the middle ties the game.

    The rain was coming down in buckets at this point.

    Just weird

  • crunch (view)

    ...and bellinger is gone in the 7th because of that 2nd blown chance and the wall he bounced off of...

    hopefully his rib cage/shoulder feels better tomorrow, we just got happ back.

    Phil,

    Any thoughts on Y. Rojas' stuff and Y. Melendez's game (I believe I've asked about him before, sorry)?

  • crunch (view)

    wow, things are moving fast.  hopefully it continues.

  • crunch (view)

    morel with 4 clean plays in 4 innings...showed off his 100000000mph arm a couple times.

    cody bellinger not having a good 4th, though...5 run leads are handy when your CF is making your pitcher have a 5-out inning.  2nd blown chance was ruled a hit even though it went in/out of his glove...1st was lost in the lights, also ruled a hit.

    welcome back happ!  double off the wall 1st PA back.

  • crunch (view)

    oh yeah, totally, i was just chiming about why i fan like i fan.

    i would like nothing more than hendricks to keep on hendricks'ing.  guys with his stuff can throw for a long, long time as long as it works.

    he velocity is actually up a minor amount this year.  it's really "damn" when a guy like him not only has gas in the tank, but it's looking like it was years ago.  he added a curve a few years ago and it helped a little bit, but he's throwing it less and less while the fb/change combo are less effective.

    CRUNCH—There is no one person in this community I’m talking about.  My remarks were not directed at you or anyone, but at a tone I’ve noticed lately. 

    You have a great, dry sense of humor and there is thought behind your comments.   You and I don’t always agree but I always understand your position.  

    Lastly, and I’ll be quiet, I agree with you on Hendricks.  We can dislike the recent performance but still love the guy.  Lots of questions about his future.
