pujols goes 1st to home on a triple.

pujols having to work for that last paycheck.  molina got a huge kick out of it.

Game start tonight moved up an hour because of rain prediction. My weather app says > 60% chance even with the early change. I hope they have Tom Skilling advising (and not his brother).

Cubs send Jesse Chavez to Braves for lefty Sean Newcomb. It's a fixer up project but hey they needed a lefty in the pen. Newcomb has always had upside because he throws hard and is 10 yrs younger so maybe he can benefit from a change of scenery.

doubt k.thompson will pitch tonight, but if m.leiter doesn't have thompson in his rear view mirror i dunno what to say.

even if he doesn't do well tonight i imagine leiter will get a 3rd start unless it's as terrible as his 1st.

leiter had a great spring, but well, that was spring.  thompson also had a great spring.

It could conceivably be Keegan, but I feel like it's more likely if length is needed, Rucker or Effross will be getting a chance.

It's complicated by the fact that St. John is the only viable MLB pitcher in Iowa on the 40 man, and he threw like 30 pitches last night.

DJL: Locke St. John was optioned to AAA Iowa last Saturday immedaitely after his contract was selected, so he can't be recalled for ten days (until next Tuesday) unless he is replacing a player on the MLB Active List who was placed on an MLB inactive list (IL, Paternity, etc).

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion
