I don't think so. 23 innings at extended spring training, 30.2 at Eugene. Including tomorrow, he probably has 3 more regular season starts and then maybe a playoff start. He's probably not topping 65 (including extended spring training) if he doesn't get shut down.

Dammit. I'll be there a day too late then. Probably some [expletive] theme for the day game on Wednesday, but either way I'll be drunk. Just go to Lolita's across the street.

Eloy is back in South Bend's lineup. Duane Underwood Jr is their starting pitcher.

TLS is going to Iowa after all. But he's still too big for minor league press. [tweet] [/tweet]

The Cubs have a 30 pitch/inning cap on their minor leaguers but it's just not as practical to enforce that in the big leagues. That seems reasonable and logical on both accounts, but I don't think Joe would let Arrieta, Lester, etc. throw 70 pitches in 1.2 innings. Letting Strasburg do it with his history and money he's owed seems incredibly reckless. Agreed, especially considering the score of that game.

Are we still paying for him? Yep. It's the last year of his Cubs contract.

I always worry about that when a pitcher gets to 36+ pitches in an inning. I worry about Hammel after his disaster inning yesterday. Wish we had a team policy that youre done after 35 in one inning. Who was it that we made throw 40 in one inning the other day? Itll be interesting to see if he starts to have arm problems. The Cubs have a 30 pitch/inning cap on their minor leaguers but it's just not as practical to enforce that in the big leagues.

He was HBP in his last game and left about an inning later. Hasn't played since.

Yep. So was Drew Pomeranz, for the same reason. And Dave Winfield.

28. Picture of Professor Hendricks goes here.

Wouldn't mind sending Cahill out for the 9th with a one baserunner leash. Especially after the Zobrist HR.

Down to 29 after the Cardinals lost today.

I would have too, given the score and depleted bullpen, but he was at 61 pitches already. Montgomery sure looks like an intriguing 6th man next year.

Heh, true. Wikipedia mentioned the Jurassic Park thing too and Wikipedia is never wrong.

Len and JD were talking about the inspiration for the Rockies dinosaur mascot during yesterday's game. During construction of Coors Field, they found a massive triceratops fossil. They even considered naming the stadium Jurrasic Park (the '90s, man) before settling on the mascot. And yes, Jeff Hoffman is making his big league debut. Supposedly, Hoyer and McLeod were infatuated with him his draft year but that was before he needed TJS and the Cubs ended up taking Schwarber instead. In fact, Epstein, Hoyer and McLeod were there the start he got hurt.

Grimm was demoted because he has options. Edwards has been great. Please consider how annoyed you are by a Cubs team on pace to win 103 games and has won 18 of their last 22. How miserable it must be to have these be the thoughts you dwell on. As long as Strop and Rondon get back and Chapman isn't hurt, I'm not annoyed, beyond standard "I should have gone to bed" emotions. Your most recent posts are not those of someone who is merely annoyed.

It really feels like Aroldis Chapman should be better considering he has arguably the best stuff in baseball history.

Really wish Bryant had swung at that 3-0 pitch. And of course I wish Maddon hadn't pushed his luck with Wood in the 8th.
