Comments

even when hendricks is doing well it looks like he's ready to clock out and go home.  not a lot of fire in the dude.

Seems like the optimum time to move Hendricks is coming. Trending in the right direction, 2.5 years of team control and a reasonable contract. He should be able to bring back at least two top 10 prospects.

2024 option didn't vest, so he's only got 2023.

still, he should be an attractive trade option with a somewhat cheap (14m + 1.5m buyout 2024) followup year.  he's not an ordinary rental.

hopefully he can keep the ball in the park and show he's capable of regular 90-110+ pitch outings while the cubs are shopping him.

CIN throws a combined no-hitter.

they lose 0-1 to PIT.

6 walks.  run scored on a force out play with the bases loaded.

    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.

    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

    suzuki 10d IL.

    right oblique strain.  ow.  that's generally more than a 10d thing.

    Seiya on IL with an oblique strain

    cooper and morel are on the field doing pre-game stuff so it's not them...

    I'll always remember his 3-0 No-hitter against the Braves when Aaron's HR was blown back into the LF well and BIlly Williams made the catch with his back against the ivy.
