Chicago Cubs  @Cubs   35m35 minutes ago

The #Cubs today placed LHP Brian Duensing on the 10-day DL with left shoulder fatigue and recalled RHP Dillon Maples from @IowaCubs.
Can they backdate to, oh, say, June 5?

I'll probably jinx him by saying it, but in addition to everything else he's done well, Baez hasn't committed an error since May 15.


thanks Deeg  :)

Certainly these last 4 days have had to improve our RISP ranking, right?

One stat I really like was early in the game when they showed the Cubs leading MLB by a wide margin in runners going from first to third with less than two outs

I don't think it was limited to less than 2 outs, Bennett.  Just going from first to third on singles.

Nice June for the offense. Heyward, Baez and Russell were particularly good. The bullpen continues to be excellent the last few days notwithstanding. Now just get Hendricks and Quintana on track and this team will roll through the rest of the season. Chatwood I have no hope for.

Cubs RISP-o-Meter: Now 8th in MLB in BA with RISP. They were 22nd on Thursday.

— Aaron Kennelly (@aaron_kennelly) July 1, 2018

Cubs batting average w/ RISP has jumped from .232 to .258 over last week. Insane! Another change, one that everyone was complaining about early, but nobody seems to be talking about now, is that the Cubs have a .359 OBP from the leadoff spot, fourth in baseball.

J.A. Happ is a FA at the end of the year and the Jays are certainly going nowhere.  If Darvish isn't back soon that's another name to watch.

For a short term cure, I like Hamels.  Last time at Wrigley, he threw a no-no.

In other news, apparently Albert Almora can hit RH pitching.  This season, in 185 plate appearances, he has .329 BA, .364 OBP, .451 SLG, .851 OPS.

Hamels might throw the Cubs over the luxury tax unless the Rangers eat some money, which would make the prospect cost higher, plus Happ is better.

Yeah, but Hammels threw a no hitter three years ago.

Agree on Happ, but doesn't our front office have a better relationship with Texas than Toronto?  Seems that way.

I think they can make deals with anybody.  Heck they've done multiple deals with Orioles and the Orioles dysfunction makes them difficult to trade with.
