"As the New York Mets explore offensive upgrades, they have engaged with the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs and others about first baseman Dom Smith, according to major-league sources."

no.  hell no.  etc.

nice...right back into the thick of things.

wishing him a ton of luck.  beyond being a top prospect he's a very high end clubhouse presence (unless that's changed) and that kind of thing helps more than just himself.

erich uelmen debut.

he's got a zillion run lead to work with.  good luck.

not remarkable, but stuff looked good for uelmen.

nice late-sinking action on his fastball that compliments his slider well...

1ip 1h 1bb 1k, 1r/er (gave up a monster solo HR)

-edit - Sunday game on Peacock app, dunno if free or you need a paid account (was behind paywall earlier in season)

fwiw, the weekend games are all free on mlb.tv right now.

web access through a browser and apps on various devices.

contreras is pretty much asking for the ball after every hit.

he knows his time is limited.

at least he's enjoyed being a cub to the point that his last hit for the team is worth having a keepsake for him.

Something to keep in mind about the upcoming MLB trade deadline is that while normally a player must remain on Optional Assignment for a minimum of 10 days (position players) or 15 days (pitchers & two-way players) before he can be recalled unless he is replacing a player who is placed on an MLB inactive list (IL, Bereavement, Paternity, etc), a player can also be recalled without having to spend the minimum number of days on Optional Assignment if he is replacing a player who is traded or claimed off waivers, as long as the player being replaced was not Designated for Assignment prior to being traded or claimed off waivers.

    STL traded away a lot of minor league talent that went on to do nothing in the arenado + goldschmidt trades.  neither guy blocked any of their minor league talent in the pipeline, too.  that's ideal places to add talent.

    Natural cycle of baseball. Pitching makes adjustments in approach to counter a hot young rookie. Now it’s time for Busch and his coaches to counter those adjustments. Busch is very good and will figure it out, I think sooner than later.

    In 2020, the pandemic year and the year before they acquired Arenado, the Cardinals finished second and were a playoff team. Of the 12 batters with 100 plate appearances, 8 of them were home grown. Every member of the starting rotation (if you include Wainwright) and all but one of the significant relievers were home grown. While there have been a relative handful of very good trades interspersed which have been mentioned, player development had been their predominant pattern for decades - ever since I became an aware fan in the ‘70’s

    The Arenado deal was not a deal made out of dire need or desperation. It was a splashy, headline making deal for a perennial playoff team intended to be the one piece that brought the Cardinals from a very good team to a World Series contender. They have continued to wheel and deal and have been in a slide ever since. I stand by my supposition that that deal marked a notable turning point within the organization. They broke what had been a very successful formula for a very long time.

    busch is having a really intense k-filled mini slump.  he deserves better after coming back to wrigley after that hot road trip.

    i know alzolay isn't having a great time right now, but i trust hector "ball 4" neris even less than alzolay based on what i've seen coming out of their arms.

    Neris reminds me of Don “Full Pack” Stanhouse.

  • Eric S (view)

    Happ, Busch, Dansby and Madrigal have a combined 25 runners left on base through 7 innings, with Busch accounting for 9 of those.  Seems like a lot.

    PCA finally gets a hit!  2r HR!!!

  • Charlie (view)

    They certainly could be coupled. It could also be the case that a team needs good players at the heart of the team and if they are not coming from one source (development) they have to be sought out elsewhere. I don't see the evidence needed to infer the cause.

    bases loaded for the cubs, 0 out...and no runs score.

    cubbery.
