i wish c.morel would wear his eye black with 3 lines instead of 2 lines so he'd look like a kitty cat.

oh, i wish he'd K less, too...but i'd be fine with just the cat thing.

Even if it is just a weeknight game in September during a highly forgettable season; it's always nice to beat the Mets.

I'll be curious to see how front offices respond to the shift ban when they are making offers to lefty sluggers like Rizzo this offseason.

ortega may have broken a finger on a bunt attempt...or the cubs are using an abundance of caution...

It's been announced on Twitter that Alzolay is going back up over the weekend for bullpen help. 

Who gets sent down/DFA'd?

minor leagues have officially formed a union.

17 days from the launch of the campaign, to the vote for representation, to formation.

last weekend MLB said they would accept a union if it had majority support.  “Based on the authorization cards gathered, MLB has voluntarily and promptly recognized the MLBPA as the representatives of minor league players. We are hopeful that a timely and fair collective bargaining agreement will be reached.”

2021 and 2022 has been a hell of a couple years for labor in all aspects of society.

Things the MLBPA will want to try and get changed right away would be an increase in minor league minimum salaries (probably at least a 50% increase per level and/or per years of minor league service), a "living wage" per diem and housing allowance, fewer games and more off days, getting paid for Spring Training, and getting paid for bereavement, paternity, and family medical emergency leave like the big leaguers do (at present minor leaguers absent for a childbirth, death in the family, or family illness are placed on the unpaid generic "Temporarily Inactive List"). 

Also note that players in the DSL will supposedly NOT be represented by the MLBPA, so $3,000 per year will probably remain the salary there, with players living in dorms and eating in dining halls at the academies.

Phil -- do you think this will lead to further contraction of the minor leagues? We've already seen the short season low A leagues disappear. Do you have any gut feeling about that? When labor costs increase, there usually is some kind of response - raising of prices, cutting expenses elsewhere, etc.

Sweeping the Mets in New York is never less than a cause for glee. Channeling my inner Ron Santo tonight!

    25 games played with a -85 run differential.  insane.

    White Sox DFA Bailey Horn. I'm thinking the Cubs would love to get him back although they probably won't have a decent chance of claiming him without another swap.

    WSox also call up former Cub Rafael Ortega (and additionally Tommy Pham). They are hurting and having a gawd awful April.

    White Sox DFA'd Bailey Horn.

    He wasn't producing good results in Charlotte (AAA).

    But Jed might bring him back with that open 40man spot. Then try the "sneak him thru waivers" gambit.

    Oh my, now I will have nightmares of me sitting in the bowels of the Wrigley security detention cell.

    One more thing...

    One of the reasons I come to this site...

     ...in addition to Arizona Phil, who is, as we all know, a treasure trove of well-written fresh information, honest evaluation, and sneaky-subtle humor regarding the entire Cub organization...

    ... is CubbyBlue and Tim's fantastic and timely visual takes on the Cubs (to be fair, he does have a much broader Chicago-flavored brush well beyond the Cubs).  Thanks for so many memorable images.  I am fortunate to own (one of my prize possessions) a print that I framed (55/200) of "The Last Out" with KB's shit-eating grin as he fields the series winning out of the 2016 WS.

    Tim, will you visit me if I do the text security thingy and description: Tim S? Or will I find myself in a Cub detention cell.

    i.e. "or send a text message to 773-839-**** with the keyword "Friendly" and include your seat location and a description of your issue.

    Incredible moment. Huge part of the fun of working there is when something magic like that happens, and you get to interact with baseball fans. 

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    That bear hug was indeed awesome. Word is that Dansby has become an outstanding clubhouse leader and that moment really demonstrated it. That reaction was one of a proud coach/mentor who’s student just excelled. I’m not even sure who was more overjoyed, Dansby or PCA. A veteran expressing that kind of unabashed support and enthusiasm for a struggling rookie is beyond fantastic to see.

    BAHAHA! I've actually not seen a single fight, but can't wait to see 70 degrees for sure!

  • crunch (view)

    next time i roll up into wrigley i'll try to start a fist fight and maybe we'll meet.

    be prepared.  i'm gonna make you earn your money.

    seriously, though...that's a cool as hell "retirement" assignment.  i imagine it will be better with warmer nights.
