Michael McAvene, Koen Moreno, Tanner Jesson-Dalton, Erian Rodriguez, Alberto Sojo, and Andricson Salvador threw early-morning bullpens today, so they may be getting close to being EXST game-ready or at least ready to throw "live": BP. Ben Hecht threw "live" BP earlier this week.

The ACL season starts on June 6th, and with the MLB draft being held six weeks - AFTER - the start of the ACL season instead of a week or two - BEFORE - the start of the ACL (formerly AZL) season as used to be the case, what you see in EXST right now - IS - the 2022 ACL Cubs. So once the ACL season starts, don't expect to see any ACL Cubs reinforcements for at least six weeks (probably more like two months).

PHIL: Thank you so much for the velocities you listed yesterday, notes taken. Dom Hambley was not among them as that list was mostly about 2021 DSL arms. I see Hambley pitched today. Can you relay anything on how his stuff looks? Velocity, pitch mix, etc.?

Thanks!

K-DUB: Dominic Hambley was FB 90-93 and CV 79-81 on Saturday, and the CV was his best pitch. FB is just OK, nothing special. The FB is used to set-up his CV.  

Last October at Instructs his FB velo was down to 85-87, but his CV was just as good as it is now. What was causing the alarmingly low FB velo last FalI I do not know, but whatever it was has apparently been fixed.

PHIL: Also, any word on the status of Benjamin Rodriguez? (I can't find him on the depth chart. I might've missed him, so many names to keep track of...) Thank you!

    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)

  • Eric S (view)

    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.  

  • crunch (view)

    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. 

  • crunch (view)

    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.

  • crunch (view)

    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.
