Helping the Cubs make another playoff push, John Lackey turned in one of his best outings of the season, even though his team had nothing to show for it in a 2-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night at Wrigley Field. Entering the day, the Cubs were 9-1 in Lackey’s previous 10 starts. Even though the Cubs couldn’t muster any offense against the Brewers, Lackey certainly did his part. That’s encouraging to see, given that the Cubs are already without their hottest pitcher right now in Jake Arrieta. “I’m feeling strong, I’m feeling a lot better,” Lackey said. “Even at this point last season I was kind of grinding through a shoulder situation around this time last year, so it’s nice to feel good and compete when you’re feeling physically nice.” The 38-year-old righthander pitched seven innings of two-run ball on four hits, two walks and a homer on Friday. He also recorded nine strikeouts, one shy of his season-high. His only mistake came in the third batter of the game, a two-run blast to Ryan Braun. After that, Lackey looked sharp. “I felt really good tonight,” Lackey said. “Really with the week off, I was almost a little too strong in the first inning. Threw too many fastballs, I was up in the zone a little bit, but my arm just felt great. Physically it felt great. “Then once I kind of settled in and started using everything after that, things started rolling pretty good.” A free agent at the end of the season, Lackey is showing the Cubs he's giving all he's got. And in a season where the Cubs have been plagued with injuries – including star pitchers Jon Lester, Kyle Hendricks, and Arrieta – Lackey’s production will surely be a nice boost if the Cubs want to pull away in the NL Central. Right now, Lackey is doing his part, and it couldn't come at a better time. -- CSNChicago.com Where Joe Maddon, Craig Counsell stand on Cubs-Brewers time change By Paul Roumeliotis When the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal reported last week that the Brewers “vigorously objected” Friday night’s time change from 1:20 p.m. to 7:05 p.m. at Wrigley Field, it fueled the division rivalry — and weekend series — even more. Especially at this time of the year, any competitive advantage would be appreciated for either side, no doubt. Both teams are fighting for the division lead in the NL Central, where the Cubs have a five-game advantage over the Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals entering Friday. While the Brewers — who had the day off on Thursday — were reportedly upset last week when they heard about the time change, Cubs manager Joe Maddon thought it was the right thing to do. He stood by that — and situations like this — for a while, and he didn't back down in his pregame media session. "There’s no reason it shouldn’t always be a Friday night (game). Period," Maddon said. "It’s a big deal right now but it shouldn’t be. Friday night baseball is appropriate. It should always be appropriate. There’s plenty of time on the weekends to enjoy Saturdays and Sundays. I’m happy that it turned out this way but it should always be this way." Surely, the Cubs were happy with the time change since they had to return to Chicago from Pittsburgh following their Thursday night game, which featured an impromptu 52-minute rain delay to start the game. Though it may have given the defending World Series champions an extra few hours to rest, Brewers manager Craig Counsell understands why the change was made. "It’s an advantage for them to have the game changed to tonight, yes," Counsell said. "Because nobody wants to sleep for five hours and then have to come out and play. So we would obviously have preferred the other way, but the game’s at 7, let’s go. Let’s go play." If the scenario was flipped, would the Brewers feel the same way? "If we had a chance to change it, I think we would have," said Counsell. "We would have tried to. Would they have let us? Maybe a bigger question. But that gets into the conspiracy part of the world." Sounds familiar, right? This obviously isn't the first time the Brewers had an issue with the Cubs this season. In May, Counsell threw major shade at the North Siders after a scheduled game was postponed due to rain in which Milwaukee believed was prematurely called. The Brewers skipper half-jokingly said it was the first time his players were treated for sunburn after a rainout. Friday's time change added another layer to a rivalry that's ready to boil over. And things could get interesting with less than a month of baseball left to play. -- CSNChicago.com Injury updates on Willson Contreras, Addison Russell and Jake Arrieta By Paul Roumeliotis Willson Contreras and Addison Russell are both making progress from their injuries while Jake Arrieta (hamstring) continues to rest. Out with a strained right hamstring since Aug. 9, Contreras is set to serve as the designated hitter in his second and final game on Friday with Class-A Myrtle Beach. The Cubs catcher went 0-for-2 with a strikeout on Thursday. After Friday's game though, the Cubs will have to find a new way for Contreras to keep his rehab assignment going, since the Pelicans' season ends. Contreras will fly back to Chicago on Saturday and be evaluated, according to the Cubs. As for Addison Russell, the Cubs shortstop "pain-free" and doing light jogging. Russell was placed on the disabled list on Aug. 3 with a strained right foot and plantar fasciitis but re-aggravated his foot on Aug. 31. When Russell is ready to rehab, the Cubs are anticipating a simulated game with all minor league teams finished with their season. "You just try to be creative with him and watch him ask him questions and how you feel and that kind of stuff," said manager Joe Maddon. "It’s difficult, but then again we did it with (Kyle) Schwarber last year. Although I guess he did participate a little bit out west so you just have to be imaginative and get it done somehow. The big thing is health and then you just watch him." The timeline hasn't changed for Russell, who is one week into his three-week recovery period. The Cubs haven't made any decisions on whether or not the 23-year-old can come back early, given that he is pain-free.

  • It's a Nearly Perfect Day in Late September
    10 strong of heart of strong by dennis brown craicounsellG Major-league veteran made a career of giving back It’s a nearly perfect day in late September at Wrigley Field as the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers prepare for one of the final games of the 2011 baseball season. The sky is cloudless, the temperature is 72 degrees and the Brewers are three games away from clinching the National League Central Division title. Standing outside the batting cage prior to the game is Craig Counsell, a 15-year veteran of the big leagues and 1992 Notre Dame graduate. He’s in a batting practice group with two or three other Brewer bench players, taking five or six swings, stepping out for the others, then stepping back in for another round. While waiting, he stands alone, quietly, a steely stare on his face. In his first round of BP he rolls a few pitches into the ground and hits a couple of flares, but he’s just taking easy swings, and in subsequent rounds he begins to stroke line drives to all fields. Later in the day, as was the case throughout the year, Counsell came off the bench to pinch hit. He ripped a shot much like those in BP, but it was caught for an out. It was that kind of year for Counsell, at least at the plate. As always, however, he excelled defensively at three positions and helped the Brewers reach the National League Championship Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. It was yet another memorable ride for a player and man who is universally respected for what he’s done on and off the field.

  • Jose Ramirez Looked to Be the Only Person Inside Goodyear Ballpark Who Immediately Realized What He Had Pulled Off Sunday Afternoon
    Alert Ramirez sparks Indians' rare triple play By Jordan Bastian MLB.com @MLBastian GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Jose Ramirez looked to be the only person inside Goodyear Ballpark who immediately realized what he had pulled off Sunday afternoon. The crowd was buzzing as they discussed the play that unfolded in front of them and it took a few moments before the umpires let Cleveland's fielders return to the dugout. In the sixth inning of a 5-4 loss to the Brewers, Ramirez swiftly recorded a pair of outs to ignite a unique triple play with the bases loaded, providing the highlight of Cleveland's split-squad games against Milwaukee and Kansas City. The three outs were recorded so fast that manager Terry Francona quipped the Indians could have notched four on the play. "There were outs everywhere," Francona said. Brewers manager Craig Counsell agreed. "They could have gotten four outs on that play, very easily could have gotten four outs," Counsell said. "It's a crazy thing. You come to the field and see something [like that]. I think everyone in our dugout said they'd never seen anything like that." The play began with Jonathan Villar on first, Christian Yelich on second and Stephen Vogt on third base for the Brewers against Indians righty Matt Belisle. Travis Shaw then sent a soft looping liner up the third-base line, where Vogt was caught in between. If he bolted home and Ramirez snared the ball for an out, Vogt could have been doubled up at third. Instead of making the catch, Ramirez gloved the ball on a short hop, introducing a bit of chaos.

It was the Cubs' 11th walk-off win this season. Milwaukee had tied the game at 2 in the ninth when Ryan Braun scored from third on a wild pitch by Hector Rondon, which Montero said he should've blocked. Braun belted his 250th career home run in the first inning, but the Cubs tied the game in the second on Kris Bryant's opposite-field blast and took a 2-1 lead in the fifth on Addison Russell's RBI single. Montero connected off Michael Blazek for his second career walk-off hit.

    April 28, 2016 -- CSNChicago.com Joe Maddon digging hot starts from Cubs and White Sox By Patrick Mooney The Adam LaRoche retirement fiasco figured to either tear the White Sox apart or bring them closer together. Outside Camelback Ranch, Chris Sale’s blistering takedown of Kenny Williams sounded like an All-Star pitcher daring his boss to trade him. LaRoche popped up again on Wednesday, posting this message on his Twitter account: “Don’t forget, tomorrow is take your child to work day.” But once that media storm passed in spring training, the White Sox could go back to being the team built on a strong rotation and a lineup anchored by Jose Abreu and Todd Frazier. A series of low-risk, high-reward moves are paying off, with the White Sox now 16-6 after sweeping the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. The Cubs – another big offseason winner – are the only team in the majors with a better record (15-5). “Digging it,” said Cubs manager Joe Maddon, who wore a pink Mother’s Day edition of his “Try Not To Suck” T-shirt during his media session at Wrigley Field. “I’m really happy for them and their success. I think it’s great for the city. If we could both sustain this kind of play, it could make for a very interesting summer.” The Cubs were digging themselves so much in Arizona that a coach’s son taking out a lineup card before a Cactus League game almost felt like Maddon’s crew trolling the White Sox (and not what it actually was – a prearranged birthday reward).

  • Brewers Beat Cubs 3-1 for Sweep, Close Within 2 Games
    Sunday Afternoon, September 10, 2017 – Wrigley Field, Chicago Game # 1253 – Official Scorer Milwaukee Brewers 3, Chicago Cubs 1 Umpires: HP: Chris Conroy. 1B: Ryan Blakney. 2B: Jerry Meals. 3B: Ron Kulpa. Official Scorer: Allan Spear. Weather: 68 degrees, sunny. Wind: 10 mph, In from RF. First pitch: 1:21 PM. T: 2:54. Att: 40,113. Notes: Got into mini-argument with Brewers PR over a non-error call on a hit by Rene Rivera Brewers beat Cubs 3-1 for sweep, close within 2 games CHICAGO (AP) The Milwaukee Brewers needed to sweep the Chicago Cubs, and they did. Travis Shaw hit a two-run homer, Zach Davies earned his major league-best 17th win and the Brewers beat Chicago 3-1 Sunday to close within two games of the NL Central leaders. ''It's going to be a fun September,'' Davies said. Chicago entered the series with a five-game division lead, a season high, but the defending World Series champions totaled three runs in the series. Milwaukee is tied for second in the NL Central with St. Louis. Davies (17-8) allowed one run and seven hits in seven innings, Anthony Swarzak pitched a hitless eighth and Corey Knebel finished for his 34th save in 39 chances. ''He's a lot to handle for the hitters,'' Brewers manager Craig Counsell said of Davies Kyle Hendricks (6-5) gave up three runs and four hits in six innings. ''Kyle was outstanding today,'' Chicago manager Joe Maddon said. ''We just were unable to string together any hits, and our power has been negated a bit.'' Rene Rivera put the Cubs ahead with a two-out RBI double in the second.

  • Clearly Not the Same Veteran Group That Won the World Series in 2001, but It’S Also Not the Same Team That Lost 111 in 2004
    Clearly not the same veteran group that won the World Series in 2001, but it’s also not the same team that lost 111 in 2004 3. Arizona Diamondbacks: Do you remember what happened in 2001? Diamondbacks fans do, but are slowly forgetting with the decrease in number of wins each year. Arizona had the worst record in the game in 2004. To top it all off, management looked like complete fools after the whole Wally Backman thing. Backman was the new Manager of the Diamondbacks for about two minutes before they went back to Bob Brenley’s (who should still be managing the team in my opinion) old bench coach - Bob Melvin. Melvin, the former skipper of the Seattle Mariners, might teach his team to do more of the little things than Al Pedrique, the interim Manager towards the end of last season. Sacrifices, bunts, hit-and-run, etc. those type of things can win them more games. Part of it was due to injuries, part of it was due to the loss of key veteran components such as Curt Schilling and part of it was the fact this was just not the same D-Backs team that beat the Yankees in Game 7 of the 2001 Series. Luis Gonzalez, who had the game-winning hit in that epic fall classic, has had substantial success at times and been hurt at other times. One guy that has not been the problem by any means is Randy Johnson. Johnson, the star lefty for the team since 2000, finally got sent to the Yankees in the off-season after almost going there before the trade deadline.
