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.

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion
