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!

    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.
