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.

    hendricks IL...lower back...

    given recent backlash by MLB, i doubt this is a phanton IL.

    wtf...also drew smyly to IL...right hip...

    boston, houston, miami...lots of potential suitors for a backup 1st/DH who won't be pain if they need regular ABs

  • Childersb3 (view)

    BOS 1B Casas just hit the IL. Maybe Cooper goes there.

    Cooper leaving does open a 40man spot. Probably for an arm at some point.

    Horton?

    Maybe Caissie

  • crunch (view)

    now that cooper is gone, who's going to the IL?  seems like it will probably be a pitcher at this point.

    can't wait to see what A-ball fringe corner OF/1st he'll be traded for...

    Cooper DFA'd

    Players on the 40 can be recalled and be placed on the MLB Taxi Squad for one day, like for example if a club is unsure if a player might or might not be placed on the IL ("game time decision"). Like maybe Happ, for example. 

    Also, a player on the MLB Taxi Squad must be returned to his optional assignment the next day if he is not officially recalled to the 26-man roster. 

    The player is NOT paid at the MLB split rate and does NOT accrue MLB Service Time while he is on the Taxi Squad. Also, it is not considered to be an official recall / option back if he is not added to the 26-man roster. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Wesneski has not spent 15 days on optional assignment since he was optioned so he cannot be recalled unless he is replacing a player being placed on the IL or other MLB inactive list (Paternity, Bereavement / Family Medical, et al), a player who is traded, or a player who is claimed off waivers.

    excited to see more power in the lineup.

    HOU going with 3 righty starters vs the cubs and their only lefty pen arm is hader.

    unless busch has a mystery injury, we should see busch+mervis working all 3 games.
