only real player decision left is what to do with matt sczcur and tommy la stella. sczcur is out of options and la stella didn't react well the last time they sent him to the minors.
― na (NA), Tuesday, 28 March 2017 21:23 (seven years ago) link
sczcur and le stella both make opening day roster, thanks to reliever brian duensing being sent to the DL

Bullpen could be shaky and one injury to the rotation could be bad. The lineup is deep as any team has been in a good long time.
― earlnash, Wednesday, 5 April 2017 03:24 (seven years ago) link
i'm just observing the bottom of the 11th via gameday, but with 1 out and the bases loaded, maddon just switched rizzo and schwarber - rizzo to LF, schwarber to 1B. i guess in the sac fly situation they want a better arm out in left? or maybe more range? you'd think schwarber would have the better arm as a catcher. anyway, maybe they do this frequently but it's the first i've noticed.
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 8 April 2017 04:11 (seven years ago) link
according to b-ref, rizzo has played all but one out of his career at 1B. that out was at 2B
bizarre. maybe it's just a matheny diss track?
― mookieproof, Saturday, 8 April 2017 04:43 (seven years ago) link
if matheny had schwarber he'd play him in CF

so the bullpens down the line are gone from Wrigley? sacrilege.

Unable to untangle his complex financial holdings to the satisfaction of the Office of Government Ethics, Cubs board member Todd Ricketts, tapped by President Donald Trump to be the Deputy Commerce Secretary, on Wednesday withdrew his nomination, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.

― ein Sexmonster (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Tuesday, 25 April 2017 01:43 (seven years ago) link
he worked on his swings and the cubs had a whole PR thing about it. a cubs fan could be more precise about it of course, but to me it seems legit.

I just remember scoreboard numbers spinning like a slot machine and then Roy Hobbs knocked the lights out and then I woke up and it was time for Better Call Saul.

I think it's still too early to tell about Heyward. He started off a little slow but has been hot the past week or so.

cubs would be doing a lot better if the starting pitchers stopped giving up 4-5 runs in the first inning of every single game
― na (NA), Tuesday, 2 May 2017 16:31 (seven years ago) link
every time i look at a cubs box score it's the 5th inning and they're down 5-2, then they win 6-5 or 7-5. every time.
― nomar, Tuesday, 2 May 2017 16:32 (seven years ago) link
but imagine if they didn't have to score 6-7 runs to win

no outstwo runs already inmen on first and secondguy on the mound (making his first major league appearance) has just allowed four straight hitsyour pitcher is up nextjavier baez pops up a bunt attempt
― mookieproof, Friday, 19 May 2017 20:08 (six years ago) link
I'm guessing that was Baez's decision, not Maddon's. It was a dumb move but it was really cold and rainy today so maybe he thought it would be easier to bunt for a hit? He can be so slick but sometimes he tries to be too slick.
― na (NA), Saturday, 20 May 2017 03:15 (six years ago) link
i'm sure it was baez's choice, but perhaps maddon should tell certain players not to bunt without his permission

happ kind of slid into the bottom part of the outfield wall (which is just concrete until about half a foot up) and had to leave the field. contreras also had a incident with a foul tip off the knee. and i guess i'm newly experiencing yadi's foul tips off the facemask from last night's game because i didn't hear about them or see them until this game.

almora jr, not happ, oops
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 27 September 2017 04:45 (six years ago) link
sounds like almora's gonna be fine, just a bruise. contreras has been banged up a lot recently, and he hasn't shown much power since coming back from the dl. they should probably give him a lot of rest leading up to the playoffs.
― na (NA), Wednesday, 27 September 2017 14:22 (six years ago) link
i'm pretty curious/nervous about what their post-season rotation is going to be. seems like lester and arrieta are likely, though lester has been bad lately and arrieta has been hurt. i hope they don't stick lackey in there. quintana and hendricks have both looked better in the past couple of weeks.
― na (NA), Friday, 29 September 2017 19:11 (six years ago) link
