Comments

i am very concerned about the direction of this team and the workload d.ross is putting on TBD, who has been straight up carrying this team in 2022.

higgins gets 1st today.  morel gets 3rd.

morel "feels most comfortable" at 2nd, but seems to play a decent 3rd.  be nice to keep seeing him there.  he doesn't seem to be made for CF, though it's not terrible...still not good.

pujols is a f'n legend.

on...on...ON FIRE since the all-star break.

30th career wrigley field homer.  crazy.

ah, these are the terrible cubs i learned to tolerate earlier in the year.

all these wins and close games post-break had me feeling good for a minute.

Re Luke Farrell from mlbtr: 

Over 59 innings (at Iowa), Farrell has a 5.03 ERA with a below-average 19% strikeout rate and a higher than average 10.9% walk percentage.

What's not to like? Use the force Luke.

 

2023 MLB schedule released.  for the first time all teams will play all teams.  only 52 games vs division opponents (previously 76 games).

march 30th opening day and all teams will play opening day.

I live in Texas so this more balanced schedule is nice for picking road destinations to attend. Looks like a nice weekend Sat night/Sun day game series in San Diego might be in my future.  Could take a day or so off work and make a trip over to Houston for the weekday series. Was hoping for Rangers in Arlinton next season to see the new stadium. 

luke farrell throwing a perfect game!

8 innings to go.  hell of a return to the bigs.  let's make some history.

c.dickerson with 10 straight hits off stroman.

also, when was the last time the cubs had a LF'r that was "wow!" as happ?  have they ever?  i'm not used to being impressed with LF defense...

Promo warning...
I got accepted into the Bucktown Arts Fest. First time I’ll be showing original art. If you happen to be in Chicago, please stop by Sat or Sun.

    straily's a bit rusty...

    Open 40 man spot might see the return of CJ. He’s been okay in Iowa. Teheran has been rocked in his starts this year. SSS of course.

    Wouldn’t be shocked seeing another 40 man spot open with Brewer losing his spot.

    Word is that Counsell thought Mervis and Wisdom got too much work in yesterday so it will be Wesneski.

  • crunch (view)

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

  • Cubster (view)

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

  • crunch (view)

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

    rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.

    ...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.

    busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.

    wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

    matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.

    cubs run differential getting destroyed.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.
