Yes, but that gives him a chance to be ROY. I think he's related to PCA, by the way.

Also, I'd say it's less shuffling the deck as rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic...Sigh...

i can't believe we're not even 30 games into the season and there's 2 open slots in the rotation without good options because stroman/miley are out.  they're not going to use thompson and they still need to find another arm from somewhere even if they did want to use thompson.

this is something that's supposed to happen to poorly planned organizations in july/august after trades, not 27 games into the season.

More roster moves as Robertson now out w COVID. Conner Menez, lefty, previously w Giants and Schwindel-Sampson flip flop. The later seems to me that they are throwing spitballs at the wall. We could use some spitballs thrown near the strike zone.

Conner Menez is the grandson of one-time Cubs back-up catcher Bill Plummer, who had the distinction of being back-up catcher to Randy Hundley and then (later) Johnny Bench.

Also, Menez (like Justin Steele) is eligible for a fourth minor league option in 2022, but it has to be used in 2022. It won't be there for them in 2023.

Frank Schwindel had been on Optional Assignment for only two days, so in order to be recalled he - MUST - replace a player who is placed on the IL or other MLB inactive list. While Conner Menez can replace Robertson on the 40, it is not a direct replacement for Robertson on the active list roster, because that has to be Schwindel. Menez actually replaces Sampson, who had replaced Stroman on the 40. Sampson can be outrighted back to AAA without waivers being required, but only when Stroman is reinstated.

steele's exit was "left thumb soreness"...not a blister...and his next start is up in the air.  his thumb is a key part of gripping his slider.

wade miley starts tonight (tuesday).  hit the bench TBD.

Vargas up, Sampson DFA, per the pregame radio broadcast.  Hermosillo to IL for the Miley call up.

4ip 5h 2bb 1k, 2r/er

if not for heyward totally missing a ball he should have gotten to it would be one less hit and only 1r/er, but it still wasn't a great performance.

his past 3 outings he's been a less steady with his command...though we probably shouldn't consider anyone's outing from that crazy wind+rain+cold miserable game representative of skill.

...and nico is out of the game after running into the f'n umpire

"right ankle soreness"

cubs got some weak ass ankles.  suzuki, newcomb, hoerner...wtf?

    it's a "for cash considerations" trade.

    cooper is a 1st/DH only type, but that's practically a freebie for BOS.  i was expecting some AAA fodder gamble on the same level rather than cash.  he showed up decent in spring + his limited time with the cubs.

    given BOS's extreme need for a 1st, this is a steal for them.

    Red Sox get G Cooper, I doubt if the Cubs get anything in terms of personnel.

    An excellent Earl Weaver chain smoking reference.

    I think it’s a bit of a chicken or egg scenario. Did they make these trades because they saw what was coming and weren’t impressed and knew to keep up with the demand for constant winning thru had to acquire impact players? Or did those additions cause a failure of resource allocation elsewhere.

    In addition, the whole they traded to acquire a star, that’s precisely what organizations should do if they feel they’re a piece away. Keep developing talent, but sometimes you need to supplement that talent. It’s what the best run organizations do. Atlanta does it. Houston in their prime run did it. Nationals during their prime run did it. Of course dodgers did it. Boston and Philadelphia too. Hell, the Cubs did it when they won. There’s no team that has had sustained success that has solely relied on their own internal development. It just doesn’t happen. I wouldn’t fault St Louis for that. What I suspect happened is in that 2020 season, in an effort to save money, they cut budget from developing and scouting. Or maybe the wrong guys got poached by other orgs. Regardless, blaming the acquisition of two of the best players of their generation for peanuts, seems off base to me.

    I do agree that we’ve more or less come to the same conclusion, but our paths to that conclusion contain almost no crossover. I think we can also agree that seeing the cardinals struggle brings a warmth to our hearts.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.
