Comments

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.

    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

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    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?

  • Eric S (view)

    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.
