I was at a weekend conference in Chicago where I couldn’t actually go to a Cubs game, but did see them win the series against the Brewers. I followed most of the tough opening loss to the Padres before I had to go on airplane mode, but it’s good to know that the Cubs are holding serve while continuing to weather the storm (sort of like the planes I was on this weekend as they got bumped all over by turbulence due to funky weather).
Anyway, good news everyone!
Seiya Suzuki will also be heading to rehab soon and may be back shortly after. PCA may have played himself into staying with the club even when Seiya returns, but we certainly will see. Feeling pretty good about this team going forward even with all the frustrating moments we’ve all sat through.
Lineup tonight:
- 2B Nico
- RF Tauchman
- DH Bellinger
- 3B Morel
- LF Happ
- SS Swanson
- 1B Busch
- C Amaya
- CF PCA
Let’s go win a baseball game…or don’t, I can’t tell them what to do.

Rice Cube,
According to Ben Verlander, the Cardinals had him setting up closer to the plate to get more low strike calls. That really sucks for him.

Perkins,
Yeah but 1) that is the lesser Verlander and 2) even if so the Cards have to let him know when he’s too close, what a bunch of unnecessary dumbness

Talk about turning lemons into lemonade to get out of the 7th.
PerkinsQuote Reply
Rice Cube,
I have to imagine the difficulty is adjusting his reactions. He’s obviously used to reaching farther on certain types of pitches, and he reached about a foot too far. It just seems like a poorly thought out process. You don’t ever see that type of contact on catcher interference.

Boog had literally said, “If this is his last inning . . . . well, this IS his last inning.” Kinda dumbfounded Counsell fucked around and found out there.

Ok, Nico. LFG. (ODICTYWTD)

andcounting,
I get letting him start to face a LHH and Counsell seems to favor the mid-inning pitching changes, but yeah that did not work out at all.

Pretty good game for the off-season acquisitions, and I guess you technically have to include Bellinger in that.
