Daydreaming about the line-up for next year & beyond... what do y'all think about putting Happ at 1B? 

My thinking is: 1) I would love to see Happ extended (I know that is a big IF right off the top); 2) lots of interesting RHB in the mix for 2023 & beyond. Not so much w/ LHB; 3) Easier to add LHB in the LF spot, either internally or externally; 4) The minors are heavy on quality OF prospects coming soon; 5) Allows for a good mix of players between the 1B & LF slots depending on performance & optimization for a given game.

I was at the game today. Surrounded by Red Sox fans, reminded me of a Cardinals game. They were pretty arrogant after the top of the second, but as the day went on they changed their tune.  When Hansel Robles walked Simmons, they (justifiably) were screaming that they couldn't walk a hitter like that. And then Morel came up, and Robles started out with nothing but fastballs. I was thinking "Didn't the scouting report say Morel can hit anybody's fastball?" And then he did hit a fastball for a home run. The Sox fans went nuts. I confess to a certain degree of Schadenfreude. And later on the F-bombs started. 

Also, I think Ross did a great job of managing the lineup and bullpen. The starting lineup was slanted toward Rich Hill (who was classic Hill: 72mph curve ball, 88 mph "fastball."), but Ross pinch hit for the righties, and, thanks to the positional versatility of the team, managed to keep good defense on the field. One of the Sox fans said, "They moved the second baseman to center field? Wow." I think he also did well to use Hughes and Effross when they could do the most good, and then Martin was good, and soon-to-be-ex-cub-Robertson (my best to him in the postseason) was routine in the ninth. 

Fun day at the ballpark.

angels sign villar.

unless he's planning on pitching that won't help much with the team's issues...much like firing joe maddon didn't help the team's issues.

The Cubs just pulled the classic Mills for Leiter Jr. bait & switcheroo on the Red Sox and they fell for it!

bote in the 9th as a defensive replacement...at 1st base.

4th career appearance at 1st in the majors (1 start).

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.
