Whew. I mean, don’t get me wrong: losing *another* series to the Pirates is not a good thing. But being swept by the Pirates is much, much worse.
Hope you tuned in early (well, with the rain delay, late), otherwise you missed almost everything interesting about this game.

The implications for the Cubs and/or the Ricketts Family are unclear, but probably not serious, if they exist at all. I think. Well, I hope.

Some signings - like second rounder Rob Zastryzny - about which we'd already heard were also announced.

Everyone is wondering what the pitching trade market is going to look like - it could be thin or robust. That could impact the Cubs greatly.

Which is probably a good move if the Cubs are going to be shopping Garza.

So seeing as Garza goes on the DL once Wells comes back, and Johnson goes on the DL once Soto gets back. Who is going on the DL when Garza comes back…
You’re assuming he comes back at all…
I kid, I kid (I hope).
Zambrano.
Hey ace have you heard about the rumor that DJ LeMahieu has been called up and if so is it true?
Sorry, Max. I was late to the party – but, yes, it’s happening. And no, it doesn’t make sense.
LeMahieu got called up. Both he and Snyder have been absolutely tearing up the minors, so naturally they are going to be called up to sit on the bench, pinch hit every once in a while, and then get sent back down when they “struggle”. Unless they are trying to see how he handles third base in the majors, I see no point in bringing him up. I think Marquez Smith, Bobby Scales, or Scott Moore would have all been a more appropriate short term call up to fill in a back up infield spot.
And it ain’t the third base thing – there’s a zero percent chance he starts even remotely regularly at 3B unless Ramirez goes down. I’m not even sure Quade would start him over DeWitt. Like I said in the post on this, unless there’s some kind of plan in place, this is absolutely asinine.
