Must be from those dingers given up the last couple of outings. Surprised Wesneski doesn't have a neck strain too.

For those of you out of market and don't subscribe to MLB.TV, the Cubs/Reds is the "Free Game of the Day". Link to the Game -
51 seconds. Awful, just awful. I implore nobody else to hit "play".
-
For what it's worth, the Sox just played the Brewers in a three-game set. And the Sox had the lead in all three games only to get swept.

Maybe management is hoping, ya' know.....

No. But ask me tomorrow night.

Not certain if there's a "home park rule" to override, but if the ball gets stuck in the ivy, it's a dead ball, If the outfielder makes a play on a ball stuck in the ivy, the ball is in play. Dansby played the ball lodges in the padding, so I don't know how that's ruled a dead ball AND the runners advance.

Amaya is 5 for his last 17. No slug in those 5 hits, but it's a move in the right direction, I guess.

Feel like PCA is gonna have himself a night at the plate. He's facing an AAAA pitcher, and I think that bodes well for him.
-
Hitters gotta hit. Defensive has to make the plays they're expected to make. To many TOOTBLANs. Not sure Counsell's responsible for any of those.

PackLandVA replied to Transmogrified Tiger's topic in General Baseball Talk
After games played on May 12, the day this wonderful topic was created, the Cubs were 24-17. They are 4-12 since. Meanwhile, the Cards were 16-24 on May 12. Since then, they've gone 11-3. Good times. -
Been saying this same thing about Morel specifically for about a month now, and what does he have to show for it. A bunch of loud outs in May.
-
93 mph fastball right in the center of the plate; his exit velo was 100+. Can't really blame him.
-
So apparently this guy Rea pitched briefly for the Cubs in late 2020. Not great results for the Northsiders. So it makes sense that he'll most likely go 6+ giving up 1 single run or less.
-
Should be pretty obvious the Vaunteds will get the series win.

Regarding the 10 days rest, I'll throw out a few cliches: "It's a marathon, not a sprint" and "Okay to lose the battle if you win the war.". Dumb, I know, but he wasn't going to carry a sub-1 ERA the whole season. All starters have a blow up game or two (or more) every season. I'd rather he get an extra rest now and take a beat down if he means he's fresh later in the season. Was 10 days a bit much? Maybe. Could they have pushed him back a few days instead of skipping his start? Perhaps. But there's still a lot of baseball to play (pitch) in the season.

I’m so tempted to just turn the game off right now and then check NSBB game thread in about 20 minutes.

Actually think it might’ve stayed in the park.

So long Freddy!
