Twitter doesn’t handle a news vacuum very well. Seeing all kinds of speculation that Seiya is hurt based on him pulling up on a run to 1B yesterday or that Morel is going on the shelf with a hand injury (Counsell has said his hand has been bothering him since a foul ball swing a few days ago). We’ll see. I think Jesse Rogers was first on the report of Canario coming up, but he didn’t have the corresponding move.
Umm, he spiked the ball on purpose. Like it was a football.
Beat me by a minute.
Oh, No! Seiya Suzuki to the Injured List with Oblique Injury
Oh no! Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki will reportedly miss significant time with a oblique injury.

I hope they give Canario starts in RF and don’t just try and slip Tauchmann into Suzuki’s spot. Canario has the offensive production ability to fill in and needs regular ABs.
I remember those 2 no-hitters. He didn't strike out a hitter against the Braves in the first one, and Henry Aaron hit a ball that would have been a HR except that the wind blew it back into the left field well where Billy Williams made the catch.
The second one was a night game in Cincinnati. I remember the excitement in Vince Lloyd's voice as he called the final out on WGN radio.
Thanks for posting. I don't think I have ever seen that. Like I said, we only had WGN radio where we lived. That was a tough Reds team too with hitters like May, Perez, Bench, Rose, etc... they hadn't become the Big Red Machine yet but they were on their way.
I was wondering who he had tied. Didn't realize it was 4 different players. Quite a list.
I wonder if any of those others had their 5 game streak at 3 separate road game ballparks.
You have to wonder if David Ross isn’t talking to them when they’re away from the team. Ross is telling them to not to listen to Craig Counsell.
Ian Happ needs to bat 7th or 8th.
Batting leadoff with 1 hit since April 8th is insane.

Really feels like the Cubs haven’t had a legit lead off man since Fowler.
Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Reds all lose.
Never too early to scoreboard watch.

My favorite part of the play was how Nico didn't yank a hamstring rounding 3rd.
The team really needed this one. It's a long road trip and you just lost your stating RF for at least a month. They are well positioned to win this road trip, and come back home to play the woeful Marlins.
And Justin Steele and Jameson Taillon working there way back.
Big shout-out to K. Thompson, whom I think had his best performance since '22 with two shutout innings despite the "runner on 2nd" extra innings rule. I've been critical of him, but nothing would make me happier than his having a solid season for the Cubs' bullpen.
Yep. He had another nice multi inning performance when the BP is severely stressed.
Fingers crossed that KH finds his control and goes at least 6, because the BP is running on fumes.
It’s a hell of a difference what a manager makes.
Craig Counsell cares about baseball. The only things David Ross cared about was 2016 World Series, Dancing With the Stars and the Chicago social scene. Ross thought he was a bigger sports icon in Chicago than Michael Jordan, Walter Payton and Dick Butkus.
