hosmer not in the lineup vs the jesus lizard, lefty...good.  bellinger back, velaz DH'ing.

torrens DFA'd.  e.rios lives another day to not work for a living.  he probably gets the gatorade powder mix to water ratio just right so they keep him around on the bench.

yeah...velaz aint going anywhere any time soon.  start making plans to break your lease in may/june e.rios...

we are going to be so spoiled with middle IF defense over the next 4 seasons...pending injury...

crazy watching these guys make it look so easy you can almost take it for granted that even difficult plays will be made.

what a terrible night for rucker to be terrible.  tie game, bottom 9th, single, hbp, hbp...hasn't hit a batter in 2 seasons and he gets a couple back to back.

I fear Rucker suffers from Justin Grimm syndrome.

Excellent in low leverage spots. Great in medium leverage spots. Down 1-2 late? Cool. Up 1 in the 6th? Great. Tied in 7th but 7 8 9 coming up? He’s your guy. All this make the stats look really really good. But game on the line late? Can’t handle it.

b.hughes 15d (left knee inflamation)...kilian up and starting saturday.  also, taillion threw a pen session today.

Submitted by crunch on Sat, 04/29/2023 - 04:31 pm

okay, about done with kilian.  wild pitches, multiple pitch clock violations, multiple HBP, can't throw anything but his fastball for a strike...hits...runs...yeah.  1st inning still.

d.ross burns 3 players in a single AB...for an e.rios matchup.  let's see how this one works...  it's his first action since april 22nd.

Submitted by crunch on Sat, 04/29/2023 - 04:22 pm

uggg.  this is one of those games that hurt.  start from many runs back in the 1st, so close to getting tied over various innings, slowly chipping away at the lead, still fell short.

    bellinger wins comeback player of the year.  the AL winner was liam hendricks and his 5ip before he got tommy john...setting himself up for a 2025 shot at the award.

    I hope that Perlaza goes on to have a successful career.  On most Cubs teams prior to the current administration, he would have been one of their more highly ranked prospects.  As far as the others are concerned, one or more may well go on to be much better than expected, but unfortunately there is no way to tell which one at the present time.  You can't keep everyone.

    s.gray signs with the cards...3/75m

    Another one of the nine Cubs post-2023 Rule 9 minor league 6YFA has signed, as RHP Carlos Guzman (acquired from the Tigers for Zack McKinstry at the end of Spring Training) signed a 2024 minor league contract with the Mets. 

     

    So RHRP Yovanny Cruz (SD), C-INF P. J. Higgins (CIN), and now Carlos Guzman (NYM) have already signed 2024 minor league contracts with new MLB organizations, and OF Yonathan Perlaza is headed for Korea (Hanhwa Eagles).

    ...and back to 3rd for another game.  at this point i'm gonna hang back and when/if he actually plays 1st then i'll find it notable.  i am glad he's playing a good amount of 3rd, though...give the club one more good look at him there.  shrug

    morel played SS last night (no errors)...hit a homer and a double.  he's got 2 of both in 19PA.
