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!

    matt shaw (AA) has a .381/.552/.905 line through 7 games...3 homers and a triple.  6 games at 3rd, 1 game DH (5 PO, 7 A, 0 E).

    that's somewhat fun news.

    i was blown away confused/pissed when it was announced the cubs were trading for y.almonte.

    i was thrilled when m.busch was announced as part of the trade.

    it's really weird to have the "you gotta take this payroll guy, too" (1.9m) part of the trade leak before the main piece.

    the cubs didn't get a deal given what they gave up, but i was very happy to have a guy like busch in the fold with so much club control.

    Have to admit I was initially disappointed the Cubs traded away the upside of Jackson Ferris but Busch is making a believer out of me.  If I still lived in midwest guessing we would have invented some drink special named a Busch Bomb at the local drinking establishment to celebrate his homers.

    per Tribune: Suzuki MRI results pending from yesterday so we should get a timetable for return later today.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    5 IN A ROW!

    hack wilson, ryne sandberg, sammy sosa, christopher morel, and michael busch.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.

    Best hitter: IL with oblique strain

    Second best hitter: hasn’t looked the same since jamming his right hand during a swing

    Third best hitter: playing through a sore hammy

    Best pitcher: IL after one start 

    Second best RP: IL after 1.5 weeks
