Comments

Keep in mind that beginning in 2022 players can be optioned to the minors a maximum of five times in a season, but because of the delayed start to the 2022 season, optional assignments made prior to May 2nd do not count toward the five max option limit. 

So through July 3rd, A. Espinoza, Kilian, Leiter, Rucker, and Sampson have been optioned twice, and Rivas, Schwindel, and Velazquez have been optioned once. 

Not watching tonight but see that Hendricks lasted 3 innings on 69 pitches and 2 runs. Is he hurt?

In reply to by Cubster

yes, unknown injury...at least assumed injury.  no word yet.  his velocity was a bit down and he got a visit from ross for little apparent reason earlier in the game.

nothing obvious (to me) from the mound.

doesn't seem to be a trade situation thing, though some are wondering.

also, woo another suzuki homer.

winning more than you lose has been nice lately.

another surprisingly good outing from sampson, too.  i know it's been mostly good so far, but i do not trust that dude to not give up tons of homers over the long haul with the amount of stuff he leaves over the plate.

    Neris must have been sand-baging spring training. He's a veteran, so he knew what he was doing. Had me fooled to be honest. Glad I was wrong.

    Looks like he might the cliche veteran pitcher in spring not really ramping it up and just “forking on stuff” in spring. If he gets to 94 on the regular he’ll do just fine.

    topped out a 94mph, threw 4 of those.  feeling a lot better about neris.

  • crunch (view)

    neris has thrown 2 pitches at 93mph out of his first 5 pitches.  that's a positive turn.

  • hellfrozeover (view)

    I really am not interested in the wesneski head case experience again any time soon. Give me smyly over wesneski. Hell give me keegan Thompson over wesneski every day of the week. His stuff isn’t as good but at least he doesn’t melt down mentally every time something goes mildly awry. 

  • crunch (view)

    they might not want to start the clock on brown and give us wesn.  hopefully it won't come to that.

    madrigal ground rule double!

    he blows a play and hits a double.  we're getting bizarro madrigal.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Close up video shows Steele saying to the Trainer "no it just cramped up"

    Hope so

    Ben Brown and not Smyly please

  • crunch (view)

    agreed and agreed.

    he walked off on his own, but we may not find out for a few days how this will impact the club.

  • hellfrozeover (view)

    Looked like a hamstring rather than a knee, not sure if that’s better or worse.
