STL lost and MIL is tied.  if MIL loses their game the cubs could gain a half game on a day off.

hahaha...j/k,  woo, not trying to compete sure is fun.

107 games to go.

tony larussa called for the intentional walk of trea turner today...on a 1-2 count with 2 outs.

freddy freeman was on 1st and was totally confused it was happening...asking his 1st base coach "what?"

anyway, max muncy immediately hits a 3r homer.

i'm not much for "manager magic" being as important as any player put on the field, but that manager signing was stupid as hell.  last night larussa hit leury garcia 1st in the lineup...a guy with a .193 ob%

it's like he's trying to get fired.

i never really got that because, like it or not, it was formulated.

speed leads, low-K contact hits 2nd...it wasn't a mystery it was going to happen.  the GM knew it, the team knew it...it's happening.  give him neifi, guess what.  give him r.cedeno, guess what.  *shrug*

he's evolved from that since WAS/HOU, but he was what he was.

c.fraizer DFA'd.

stroman to 15d IL with right shoulder inflamation.

rucker and rivas to AAA.

miley activated.  gomes activated.  c.martin activated.  villar activated.

Clint Frazier had a $100K roster bonus that would have kicked-in on Monday with more potentially down the line, so the DFA is not a surprise. 

The Cubs could have just as easily transferred Michael Hermosillo to the 60-day IL to make room for Chris Martin on the 40 and then they would have been able to keep both Hermosillo and Frazier around for a while longer, but they clearly wanted to axe Frazier at this particular point in time. 

miley 15d IL...rucker up

madrigal sitting with a groin issue, may or may not IL.

Seems to me that the IL (and other "inactive" lists) has had more than the normal amount of activity this year than usual. I remember years with a lot of pitchers going down, but there seems to be a high number of position players getting listed this year also. 

swarmer...

5ip 7h 0bb 4k...6 of 7 hits were solo homers.  rizzo finally got one off the cubs...g.torres got one, too (2nd off the cubs, career).

this was an embarrasment even if the yanks are a team of hired gun sluggers.  swarmer was left in to simply give the pitching a break.  swarmer should have been removed after the 4th with the cubs down by 3, but he got sent out for a 5th to give up 3 more homers and a couple really deep fly-outs.

swarmer gave up 3 homers in the 12 innings before this...9 homers in 17 innings.  ow.  he's always been hit/homer-prone, though.  hard to keep going through the lineup as a starter when your pitch mix is heavy on 2 pitches and you're not randy johnson.

looks like suzuki is gonna be out a while...

“It’s just going really slowly,” Cubs manager David Ross said Saturday before the Cubs played the Yankees. “He wants to be back in there bad. But the finger doesn’t look great. It’s really stayed almost status quo.”

Cubs president Jed Hoyer is on the trip and said that he planned to meet with Suzuki and the medical staff to determine what to try next.

103 to go...

k.thompson has been really sketchy the past 3 games with his command/control...esp the last 2.

new lineup...

morel - happ - contreras - morel - happ - contreras - morel - happ - contreras

if one of them is on base when their AB comes up, then they advance home to score a run automatically and then take their AB.

as for the pitching rotation...

wait, can d.robertson pitch every inning of every game?

schwindel pitching.

3rd time we're having a position player pitch this year and it's not even the all-star break.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

  • crunch (view)

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

  • crunch (view)

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it

    alzolay...bro...

  • crunch (view)

    wow.  what a blown call.  go cubs, i guess.
