Well, we found our closer. But how long can he survive having to throw 2 innings in every close game? -
Playing Mervis twice a week isn't enough. I know he has struggled, but if he's up here, he needs to be getting a chance to figure things out.
-
It seems Happ has been getting the Schwarber treatment lately. As soon as I saw the location of that pitch, I just knew the umpire was going to ring him up on it.
-
Anytime Dansby wants to get hot again is ok with me. The OBP is still really good, but SLG isn't.
-
That's great and all, but if you're going to use him today while trailing by 1, why not use him while you still have the lead? I'm not a fan of back to back days after a multi-inning appearance, but especially not when the team is losing.
-
Only Alzolay, who is now pitching while trailing after having thrown 2 innings yesterday. He'll be burnt out soon.
-
...

Hey now, if we stack their batting averages on top of each other, they look just like a real boy.
-
He is a big, slow oaf.
-
I'm going to say twice. But I can only remember the past week.
-
The bullpen giveth, the bullpen taketh away.
-
The Wesneski move has certainly paid off. The chances of Rucker getting through multiple scoreless innings would have been slim to none.
-
The offense may well be the same, but I kind of like this version where the pitchers flirt with no hitters and/or shutouts every game.
-
I was told they would be available in the Ivy Shop at Gallagher Way following the alumni games. (I want one as well)
-
Where would this bullpen be without Alzolay? He has been a consistent bright spot.
-
Mancini is getting $7 Million next year too? Woof.
-
Weak throw by Happ there.
-
Bellinger is out until mid June? Him missing a month is not ideal.
-
The Cubs seem to have a real problem identifying bench personnel. Breaking camp with Torrens. Giving a roster spot to Rios who has no value except his bat, and his bat has been non-existent. Choosing both Mastrobuoni and Madrigal over Mckinstry. Signing Barnhart to a multi-year deal. Signing Hosmer when there was nothing to indicate that he could still be a productive player. The front office has at least shown a willingness to move on when bench guys don't work out, but it certainly doesn't inspire confidence that they have missed so often.
-
It's one thing for the manager to discount the splits due to fairly small sample size and field a semi-normal lineup, but it's quite another to lean hard into the exact opposite of what the splits are showing.
-
The Cubs have 6 left handed hitters in the lineup. None of them have any hits. They have 3 right handed hitters in the lineup. All of them have a hit.
-
I must have been watching a different game yesterday. The one where Wisdom hit 2 home runs. I mean Mastrobuoni, Tauchman, Rios, Barnhart... My best guess is this pitcher has some severe R/L splits, but no major league team should be rolling a lineup out there with those 4 guys all in it on the same day.
-
1st and 2nd with no outs is this team's 7-10 split.
-
I can't get over the tastytrade ad on the mound. Just awful, greedy, money-grubbing.
-
Oh but just wait until the minor league depth gets here. Waves and waves of passable Major League pitchers should fix everything.
