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.

    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). 

  • Childersb3 (view)

    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. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    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.

  • crunch (view)

    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
