    @USAFChief, it’s a receding hare line.

    I'll start. They stink. End of post.

    I doubt the Nationals are interested in trading for Alcala. I could see him being in St. Paul, however.

    Looking at the bullpen availability, it was going to be tough to win if the offense doesn’t score a bunch, Gray doesn’t goes deep, or both. Stewart and Lopez threw both Wednesday, Pagan threw Tuesday and Thursday and Jax threw Tuesday and Wednesday. Aside from Rodriguez and Moran, Duran was the only one truly fresh. Said another way, Nos 7 and 8 were fully rested, No. 6 was pretty rested, Nos. 4 and 5 threw two of the last three days. Nos. 2 and 3 threw the last two days, and No. 1 was pretty rested. I’m not suggesting Rocco tanked this game, but he was smart enough to know that this was likely going to be the toughest of the three to win. When Gray got to 94 pitches, you roll the dice with Moran to get out of the inning. Then you roll the dice with Jax and Pagan for the 7th and 8th. Then you bring in Duran. Unfortunately, the offense only scored two, Gray only went 5.1. Moran did his job, but Jax rolled snake-eyes, so then it’s time to finish off with Alcala and Rodriguez and rest up for Saturday. Now Duran has had two days off and Lopez, Stewart and Pagan have each had a day off. It would still help if Ryan could go seven tomorrow.

    Rocco said last night that Kepler would have most of tonight off against a lefty after having cramped last night.

    Apparently Morel is too much of a toadstool…

    Wasn’t too smart of Wisdom to get in the way of that one.

    Castro with the strikeout not looking.
  9. IndianaTwin
    Sounds like Suzuki really rode that line drive.

    On Cubs radio, Ron Coomer just talked about being at the 19-12 Rod Carew game on June 26, 1977. I remember the date, because I was there too.

    Carlos is regressing!
  12. IndianaTwin
    I’ve got wallpaper that would be better.
  13. IndianaTwin
    Call me crazy, but I have an idea for what could be even better.

    Opting out of the Apple option, and thanks to Apple, the game isn’t on Marquee, which I do get in northern Indiana. The plus on this is that it encourages me to take in the Cubs radio broadcast. Pat Hughes is as good at painting a word picture as anyone, and Ron Coomer has grown on me as an analyst.

    I’m not big on mushrooms, but their leadoff man seems to be a fun guy.

    It seems to me like I read somewhere on TD that we once traded Taylor Rogers.

    Chief's younger sibling, I presume.

    When I was a pastor about 15 years ago, we had a gentleman in the church who had just turned 100. When I referenced that from the pulpit, I noted that he had actually been alive the last time the Cubs won the World Series. 😀

    He'll be honoring a Chicago tradition:

    I haven't (yet) bought the Athletic subscription, but there are a lot of parallels. So I'll take that a step further and say... No need to do anything now. Wait until the offseason to make a tender/non-tender decision, which allows for incorporating prospect progress, midseason trades and Rule 5 considerations in addition to the progress they are seeing in his rehab. If tendered, revisit the extension conversation next spring like they did with Paddack. There's no need to rush into any decisions when they got months to make choices. And as I type that scenario, it adds to my encouragement on how they feel about the progress for Paddack in his rehab. He's apparently checked the box on all three counts, so hopefully that good news continues.

    I was on the radio too, but I was struck by how much more comfortable it sounded/felt to have Farmer at 3B instead of Miranda.
  22. IndianaTwin
    I’m kind of a traditionalist, but i can take suggestions from @Squirrel. So… Winner, winner, Gizzard Blizzard!

    On the bright side, we’re out of Lopezes for the night, so we should be good to go!
  24. IndianaTwin
    He threw a bunch of pitches last night, so it’s probably a moot point for tonight, but I have liked the way Rocco has used him. It’s seemed to be in games when they are behind but still in range. Last night was a good example — down 3-1 when he came in in the 7th. It’s a spot where you don’t want to use the studs, but want to give the bats a chance.

    Don’t forget the guy with the 0.69 ERA over 13 innings, with 13 strikeouts, 8 hits and 3 walks for a 0.85 WHIP. That includes six straight scoreless outings, with five baserunners in 6.2 innings. That’s Pagan, if you take out the debacle in Boston where he was an early-game injury fill-in for Maeda and then was left out to dry in an attempt to eat innings. I know, you can’t randomly drop an outing, but while many of us aren’t ready to admit it, he’s pitched pretty well.
