i know it's kershaw and all, but it feels like 2022 isn't gonna get much better for the cubs.

there's been a few fun wins, but overall it feels like i'm watching a spring training game almost every day.

knowing game 2 is a f'n "bullpen game" doesn't help things.

Spring training is an apt description. This team is an embarrassment. We're saved from the division basement only because there's a 4-22 team there.

Whats worse is that looking at the pieces... how many of these guys are on the next even good Cubs team? Not saying the next Cubs team that is a title contender, just the next above average team.

The last 2 or so weeks have been unwatchable. I can not see any quick fixes given how many flaws the current roster has.

i would settle for some small victories...like keegan "too important out of the pen" thompson being a starter rather than cleaning up other people's messes and hoping for a win (of which he has 2, more than any cubs starter).  i understand they may want to limit his 2022 innings, but meh...

we knew what this was when the season began.  it just takes some time to sink in that there may not be many pleasant surprises.

it's may and i've already seen fans wondering what we're gonna get for d.robertson and hoping others (contreras/hendricks) can up their game to bring trade value.  it's 2021 vibes all over again, but with crappier cards to play.

Beginning today (the 31st day of the MLB regular season), the current standings as of 9 AM are now used to determine daily waiver claim priority. (Beginning on the day after the conclusion of an MLB regular season and extending up through the 30th day of the next MLB regular season, the previous season's standings are used to determine daily waiver claim priority). 

p.wisdom seems to have tweaked something.  out of the game and had a hard time going downstairs into the clubhouse.

buckle up for what might be a good amount of villar getting to attempt to throw baseballs from 3rd base.

things felt a bit "doomy" for 2022-???? when everyone was getting traded away last year for key guys that had expected Rookie/A-ball slots for 2022.

at least the cubs snagged caleb kilian...and nick madrigal is a decent/cheap supporting player in a lineup that can play 2nd without embarrasing himself.

it's not like all those kids snagged were junk or extreme long-shots, but the trades weren't for proven minor league experience close to getting their shot in the bigs.

That would be nice. We definitely find ourselves at a juncture where minor league info is much more interesting than actual Cubs games. I wonder if we'll get another "this isn't a rebuild like last time" nonsense interviews after we trade everything away that anyone wants this July.

steele leaves after 4 with what appears to be a blister/cramp/hand-injury/??? while warming up for the 5th.

not a bad performance given the lineup he faced and the short notice.  most of the bad was concentrated in a single inning.

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    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.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

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

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

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

  • crunch (view)

    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.
