Short and belated post for this one. I am caring for an ill family member and will be for the next couple weeks. I hope you and your loved ones are well.

jason heyward took a knee to the jaw on a slide play and went semi-conscious.  he stayed on the ground a while in another mental universe.

out of the game.  if he misses a concussion, jaw, or neck injury he'll probably be okay.

safe on the play.

I was at the game today with my son. I was enjoying a three-game winning streak at games I'd been to lately, but when I looked at the pitching matchups, I told him, "I'm afraid this is going to be about 14-5." Well, I was close. I had hoped Davies was going to at least be a mediocre innings-eater, but now I think they should just put him on the IL with a sprained ERA. Subsequent pitchers weren't much better, several leadoff walks. Happ continues to hit the ball hard, Wisdom is swinging through fastballs--maybe the league has figured him out. He's still a good defensive 3b. Still nice welcome for Bryant. All in all, the high point of the afternoon was a nice lunch at Uncommon Ground up on Clark at Grace. Kind of a hippie place, organic beer, lots of veg and vegan items, welcomes Cub fans but doesn't depend on them. Highly recommended. 

Very moving pre-game commemoration of 9/11, and national anthem and "God Bless America" sung by a woman Chicago cop. One more game for me, the last home game  on Sunday the 26th against the Cardinals. Two disappointing teams...It's still Wrigley Field. 

Blue jays beat the Orioles 22-7. Must have included  a 2 point PAT. Go Bears. Viking and Lions lose, Packers losing to Saints.

m.scherzer gets career K #3000.

he also threw an "immaculate inning" in the 2nd (9 pitches, 3 Ks)

he was perfect through 7.1ip until giving up a double.

n.hoerner 0-2 in 2 PA over 5 innings (removed early, not injury related) in iowa return.

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled.

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion
