Besides, everyone is on normal rest. Waino's performance today was not Mathenys fault. Waino is pitching at Cy Young level this year. He's never lost at Wrigley. Every pitcher has bad days. I won a little league candy sale contest and won a trip to see the Cardinals. Bob Gibson was scheduled to pitch. I was so excited I was going to see Bob Gibson pitch. He sucked that day. The next game he threw a one hit complete game shutout.

I believe it's 18-12 and it will be 26-12 by the end of this road trip. ****ing ridiculous.

Seems like only a matter of whether the team can hold off calling him up now to fight the offensive slump for wait for latter this month for contract purposes. Dude is hitting.

What is the date when they don't burn a year of service?

Looks like they can call him up now or real soon......
A year of service time is equal to 172 days, and there are normally around 183 total days in the major league calendar. This means that if a team wants to keep a prospect from accruing a full year of service time, they simply need to leave that player in the minors for around 15-20 days out of the entire season. For example, the Rays left Evan Longoria in the minors for the first two weeks of the 2008 season; as a result, if Longoria hadn’t signed his long-term contract, he would have been under team control through the 2014 season instead of the 2013 season. Technically, this demotion could happen at any point of the year, but it’s most common for teams to leave a prospect in the minors for the first month or so of the season before calling them up. Service time specifics

They'll keep him down past the Super Two deadline, which will likely fall somewhere in early June.

Normally, players must have accrued at least three years of MLB service time before they can be eligible for salary arbitration — or in other words, until they can negotiate their salary and not have it automatically set by their club. But certain players with less than three years of service time can also become eligible for arbitration, if they meet the following criteria: ● If they have less than three years of service time, but more than two. ● If they rank within the top 22% of all 2-year players in terms of service time. So if a player finishes a season and is just shy of three years of service time (say, 2 years and 171 days) then MLB will award them Super Two status and they’ll be eligible for arbitration. Since these players are still under team control for another three seasons, that means Super Two players get four year of salary arbitration instead of the typical three. The Super Two cutoff used to stand at 17%, but got changed to 22% in the new CBA negotiations. This means that if a team wants to keep a player in the minors until after the Super Two cutoff, they will have to keep that player in the minors for even longer than before. Considering that the cutoff used to fall sometime in June — it varied from year to year, as the 17% cutoff isn’t tied to a specific date — it will likely end up being in July going forward.

Arrieta is a goddamned piece of trash and the Cardinals did nothing against him. Just pathetic.

This is not a playoff team. Sorry guys, but the offense is completely deficient, and without the RISP aberration, there aren't enough horses to score runs. This team needs to focus on scoring runs.
Also, Grichuk needs to go down, Wong and OT should come back up, and Descalso and Maness should be released.

Didn't even watch the end. Turned it after I saw Matheny leave in Jay to face a lefty. Figured he'd already mailed this one in.

Molina and Peralta lead off the 9th with singles. Jay comes up and hits a first pitch tapper back to the mound for a 1-6-3 double play. Ellis promptly strikes out on a fastball about 12 inches outside.

It's extremely hypocritical for them to do what they did to Wong an Bourjos yet let jay, Ellis and maness continue to suck.
Wong and taveras have to come up, and play. Bourjos and taveras need to play cf |
