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.

    now that cooper is gone, who's going to the IL?  seems like it will probably be a pitcher at this point.

    can't wait to see what A-ball fringe corner OF/1st he'll be traded for...

    Cooper DFA'd

    Players on the 40 can be recalled and be placed on the MLB Taxi Squad for one day, like for example if a club is unsure if a player might or might not be placed on the IL ("game time decision"). Like maybe Happ, for example. 

    Also, a player on the MLB Taxi Squad must be returned to his optional assignment the next day if he is not officially recalled to the 26-man roster. 

    The player is NOT paid at the MLB split rate and does NOT accrue MLB Service Time while he is on the Taxi Squad. Also, it is not considered to be an official recall / option back if he is not added to the 26-man roster. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Wesneski has not spent 15 days on optional assignment since he was optioned so he cannot be recalled unless he is replacing a player being placed on the IL or other MLB inactive list (Paternity, Bereavement / Family Medical, et al), a player who is traded, or a player who is claimed off waivers.

    excited to see more power in the lineup.

    HOU going with 3 righty starters vs the cubs and their only lefty pen arm is hader.

    unless busch has a mystery injury, we should see busch+mervis working all 3 games.

    More than 50 years ago (I'm old), I was in the audience when my HS choir performed the whole thing. (It was a really elite choir and director.) That was my first exposure to the piece. You're right, Sonicwind75, there is a lot more to it than "O Fortuna," just like there's a lot more to Beethoven's Ninth than the Ode to Joy, etc. Much if it, as you say, is bawdy: "O! O! Totus florio! Iam amori virginali, totus ardeo!" Basically, "I'm really horny for these virgins!" And the guys in the choir adopted the "Skoal"- type greeting from the tavern scene: "Wafna!"

    i would have pause if the cubs had a pitching squeeze.   as it is, they have more guys than they have roster.

    Maybe Brewer

    He'd be able to leave the Cubs. He's out of options. That would open up a 40man spot.

    I don't think Jed would do that.

  • crunch (view)

    brewer has done nothing to keep him on the big league roster...imagine that's 1 guy gone.

    yeah, it's only 2 appearances, but they were both unimpressive.
