Monday Not Funnies. Andrew McCutchen is having a slump.

Lets hope it lasts a little longer...

Comments

Haha! Funny. The Cubs put him in his slump, hopefully they can keep him in the slump.

Interesting. From an owner point-of-view, protecting your pitchers from injuries while on offense makes total sense. Obviously, the momentum is moving toward DH in the NL and I think it's probably going to happen. Len Kasper called it an inevitability, a question of when, not if. I'm probably going to be an old, cranky holdout on this issue. I like NL baseball. Meh. Ryan

Wanna feel old? Addison Russell's dad is 38 years old.

Great animation, Tim! Love Hammel's eyes in the penultimate frame. Here's hoping this is not the series in which McCutchen starts hitting line drives again. Also, here's hoping this is the series in which Castro stops hitting ground balls at a 60%+ rate and that one or more of Bryant, Rizzo, and Soler start cranking the ball out of the park on a more regular basis. Also, some quality starts from Cubs pitchers not named Arrieta (per the Bruce Miles tweet) would be nice.

Marlins DFA'd Saltalamacchia...$7M contract for this year, $8M for next year.

Was hitting 069/182/207 so far this season  after a .681 OPS last year.

Tonight's lineup

Fowler CF, Soler RF, Riz 1B, Bryant 3B, Montero C, Castro SS, Coghlan LF, Hammel P, Russell 2B

Rangers trade Hamilton to Angels is official. Word here in NYC is the Rangers sending $70 million of the $85 million owed and maybe getting a PTBNL. WOW, they really wanted him gone.

Castillo taking grounders at 3B. Interesting. He's only ever played catcher except 1 game in the majors and 3 in the minors at 1B.

Glad the Ol' Shitter is sent down. He can work on closing out PA's and grooming his beard.

    I worry that Morel will lose starts at 3B as long as this roster lacks a compelling DH.

    I think if you had ranked players by how much the team could ill afford to have them miss significant time, Steele would be right at the top of the list.

    steele MRI on friday.  counsell expects an IL stint.

    no current plans for his rotation replacement.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.
