"The Cardinals are interested...This is not only in play, but the Cardinals are one of the top two teams in baseball that are good fits for him." - Gordon Wittenmyer on the possibility of Willson Contreras to the Cardinals next season

i wish the cubs were in a better media market and a bigger city like STL...they could get good players, too.

joey votto is on the 60d IL and he's been in the CIN booth the past few games.

if you're not familiar with the weird headspace votto exists in...it's worth checking out.  similar area that nick castellanos hangs out...dude loves to talk, too.

higgins has the largest 1st baseman's glove ive seen in a while.  i wonder what model it is and how many dozens of cows died to make it.

From Baseball Reference: "Drafted by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the 1st round (15th) of the 2014 MLB June Amateur Draft from University of Hartford (West Hartford, CT)."

 

Some dreams die hard.

we've 'gotten over' lots of traditional baseball notions that make no sense, but are part of the game.

he's a lefty that can throw 93-95mph so obviously he's a shiny thing that everyone wants because that means something for some reason.

now this might be controversial...but...so what.

control issues aside, which are notable, he gets hit on both his fastball and the offspeed stuff.  the hitters aren't waiting for a vulnerable pitch, they can hit anything he can throw.

Well put.  I'm often the last one to give up on a player, but with Sean Newcomb, it's time to part ways and say "thanks".

Four Cardinal double plays through 8 innings. Bleh!
 

In other news, Cease loses his no hitter with two outs in the ninth inning. Solid single into right center by Arraez, the American League's batting average leader.

ohtani out here in the 8th throwing 100mph.

i know the dude won MVP last year, but i still feel like people underappreciate how next-level he is as a baseball player.  this kind of 2-way player usually only happens in highschool, rarely in college, and his only peer in the pros is babe ruth.

speaking of legendary stuff out of japan...he doesn't hit, but keep an eye on roki sasaki's career on the mound.

For those of you who might not be aware, ex-Cubs SS Addison Russell is still playing pro ball. He's 28 and played SS for Acereros de Monclava in the Mexican League in 2022, where he hit 348/443/677 with 24 HR and 16 doubles in 80 regular season games plus one HR in the Mexican League All-Star game and two more HR in the playoffs. He was the starting SS on the ML Norte All Star squad and won a Gold Glove. This was his second season in the ML. 

Russell played in Korea (KBO) in 2020 after not getting any offers from MLB clubs after he was non-tendered by the Cubs in December 2019.   

Starlin Castro -- the Cubs SS for six seasons prior to Addison Russell -- also played in Mexico in 2022, playing 2B and hitting 240/312/323 in 28 games for Yucatan. Castro is now 32. He last played in MLB with the Washington Nationals in 2021, so this was his first season in the ML.

Hayden Wesneski has been called up to the big league club. No corresponding move has been named yet.

    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.
