Do-over! Wada didn’t factor in the decision (a 2-1 WAS win) for the first go-round but allowed 1 ER and had 6 Ks in 5.1 innings. In his last outing against KC, he went 5.2 and gave up 1 ER in the 2-1 Cubbie win.

Roark got the W for throwing 5 innings and allowing the one run against the Cubs at Wrigley. It was his first start of the season. His last time out was part of the Nationals’ slide in Cinci. He gave up 2 ER over 6 innings but avoided taking the loss in a game that ended 8-2.

Coghlan is 5-11 against Roark, and Bryant went 2-2 with a HR against him in the Wrigley loss. As a team, WAS is hitting .221 against Wada. Span has a HR.

In case you give a schlitt, the Cubs pen has eeked up to 9th in the NL and 21st overall.

Go Cubs!

"n case you give a schlitt, the Cubs pen has eeked up to 9th in the NL and 21st overall." And that's because the schlitt has been scarce. Although Ross saved Rondon yesterday from a certain demise.

Harper got caught between 2nd and 3rd and didn't even try to make it back. This was after the deliberate helmet toss.

He's too sexy for this game.

Rizzo has a very rare intensity. His focus is absolutely deadly this year - he doesn't take a second off. He knows when he blows an opportunity, and he knows why AND he doesn't blow many. I'm very impressed. I think San Diego (Boston) let a rare one get away.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake.

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
