i know pete crow-armstrong isn't ready for the bigs or anything, but how much longer they gonna let him embarrass A-ball pitchers in myrtle beach?

they have a self-created logjam in the low minors, so it's kinda inevitable that some guys will linger until there's room at higher levels.

guys like y.pinango and j.nwogu aren't spectacular, but they don't belong in lower A ball level...and they need playing time.

wisdom 4 games in a row with a HR.

c.morel has started 7 games.  3 in CF, 2 at 3rd, 1 at 2nd, 1 at SS

may 24th...

our leadoff hitter has a .315 ob% and the #2 hitter is sporting a solid .262 ob%

121 games to go.

season ends with 6 in a row vs CIN.  i dunno if anything in the dumpster will be left to keep a flame going.  sad thing is by that point it may actually be better quality baseball.

pre-game lineup shakeup...yan gomes scratched (left oblique tightness) and lineup rearranged.

morel leading off, ortega moves to hitting 2nd, and schwindel 5th

Submitted by crunch on Tue, 05/24/2022 - 05:47 pm

small sample size blah blah etc...

watching morel is like flashing back to 2016-era cubs and their joy + aggression on the field.  he would have fit in well with that cubs era.

nice.

i was looking forward to the hoerner/madrigal "hoes mad" middle IF.

Submitted by crunch on Tue, 05/24/2022 - 05:31 pm

this reds team is so hopelessly terrible they have mahle out there in the 5th with 100+ pitches, 6 runs given up, and no outs yet.

...and he's done with 103 pitches, leaving with 0 outs and men on 1st/2nd

Sigh. 

Fixed: "nice first half of an inning"

That is all.

    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.
