morel in LF and herm in CF...morel was supposed to play CF today with velazquez in LF, but velazquez was scratched due to "illness."

no idea what the illness is...i assume it's not the Beastie Boys type of ill...unless he was unlicensed to ill and in that case he's probably in jail.

i dont understand cubs attendance today.

the place is -packed- for a day game and it's not like it's a ton of SF fans.

they barely had anyone show up for any of the reds games, even though 2 were evening games.

Christopher Morel was not / is not ready for MLB defensively. Even if his offense is acceptable and will naturally improve with time at the big league level, defensively he is not ready for prime time. He needs to spend an unspecified amount of time at AAA to learn how to play the various positions he will need to play in MLB. He will get a 4th minor league option in 2024 so it's not like he needs to be rushed.

aside from misplaying stuff in the OF, he doesn't have a sense of other players in the OF.  that's an area where people cover long distances at high rates of speed and just like you don't need a collision, you don't need teammates timid and pulling back from going hard because they think they might end up on the DL.

he is far out of his talent range in CF.  he at least seems comfortable at 3rd/2nd...not much of a 3rd baseman, though...average-ish on a good day.  right now there's no room for him at 2nd and p.wisdom is going to take playing time away from him at 3rd.  should be an interesting few weeks seeing where he gets playing time.

I think if MLB is going to vote willy-nilly on changing the rules of the game then they ought to get back together and vote on a Play-In Tournament for 2022 featuring all 14 teams Edwin Jackson played for in his career.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.  he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
