Comments

here come the kids...kilian, NO NOT YOU, thompson and steele.  hope it's at least fun to watch.

squirrel delay.

baseball is the greatest american game.

villar is doing kilian 0 favors...turning 2 outs into 0 outs on 2 different plays is a hell of a inning, guy.

If their record is 25-42 after tonight, a .373 win percentage X 162 games gives a record of...

drumroll: 60-102

"Cash considerations" for a DFA usually means a least twice the $50,000 waiver price, so the Cubs probably got at least $100,000 (which is equivalent to the Rule 5 Draft price, but without the cumbersome roster restrictions that go with a Rule 5 Draft pick). 

there's like 8 people at this game...not really that bad, but there's a ton of room at the park for a nice weather evening game.

even the cubs fans in the area aren't showing up for this.

swarmer almost gives up a homer, but it comes up short and it's a leadoff triple to start the game for PIT.

that counts as improvement for swarmer.

bote's bat is coming alive in AAA.

in his 4 games back since taking a break for a couple weeks he's 8 for 15 with 4 doubles and a triple (no walks, no HR).  he's produced in all 4 games.

Has anyone here ever gone to a game in St Louis?  Have tickets for this Sunday and first time going to that ballpark.  Feels a bit dirty going there but I do like experiencing different ballparks.  Also, I live in Texas and the 14 hour drive there is the closest the Cubs will play to me this season (its about a tie with Atlanta). 

BTW, the AAA realignment also means no Iowa Cubs games here in Austin/Round Rock. They've worked hard to make Texas a Cubs-free zone. 

im about done watching villar play shitty D almost every day with a .268 ob%

at this point i'd rather see bote and i'm not really in a hurry to see bote...

david robertson first career AB...vs a position player pitching.

robertson is f'n stoked.  this is nice.

strikes out swinging on a 3-2 pitch.  it was obviously high out of the zone, but when is gonna get another AB?  gotta swing.

this was seriously one of his best managerial decisions of the night.  most of the dugout was on the railing watching this AB.

    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.

    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.

    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...

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