It might have until they had him pitch out of the bullpen on the 11th.

Where is Drew Smyly in his rehab?

As of a couple days ago, not even close yet..

He said he was still in recovery mode ..

Here a little quote from him..

I’m just not really responding the way I want. I would love to get out there as fast as possible, but your arm doesn’t really allow you to do it. I just have to go with the way my body tells me.”

just gotta predict that Chatwood is going to throw 7 strong innings tomorrow and they will put him back in the rotation.

As for tonight's game, looking at the future 'cast radar at Weather.com, it looks like the rain ought to clear out in the Pittsburgh area at about 8pm CDT. Give the ground crew some time to clan things up, and it looks like the game starts at about 9pm CDT, or 10pm EDT.

Good thing that 1) today isn't a getaway day, and 2) tomorrow is scheduled as a night game, as well.

Hmm... the official Cubs website just changed the status of the game from "Delayed- Rain" to "Warmup". I'd have to think that means that the rain has stopped. How soon before first pitch, who knows.

You know, last year, before they re-worked their website, the NBC SportsNet Chicago website had this "Pulse" section. It was generally useless, except in these cases when there is a rain delay. In these cases, members of the media and team representatives would come out and give us the time the umps and ground crew were shooting for, in terms of starting (or re-starting) a game after a rain delay.

That feature is gone from that site. Is there any other site anyone knows about where someone like me, sitting in Minneapolis and waiting for the Extra Innings package telecast to change from "Rain Delay" to a live feed again, to see where the people in the press box are posting the projected start times?

Yep, I see that. Would have been nice to know they were aiming for about now when they first knew about it in the press box, which would have had to have been a good 30 to 40 minutes ago.

Thanks, Schwarbs! That sure helps. Been a while since you hit one out, as well -- good to see.

Hmm... any team ever turn 9 double plays in a regulation 9-inning game?

It's not like you can get more than one of those per inning... ;)

It's not 9 but I think the record is like 6 or 7.....which is crazy.

Yeah, Len Kasper just said it was seven. Weird, I typed that message, and then the next inning started and Kasper said the same thing I just typed, almost word for word, that you can't get more than one double play per inning.

We could set a new major league record tonight, guys. It depends on the Pirates getting someone on base in every remaining inning with either no outs or one out, of course... ;)

All I have right now is this website, and the Cubs' official website. The official website said nothing beyond "rain delay" right up until it changed from Delayed Start to Warmup in its label on the Gameday page.

Where did you see that projected start time? On the Cubs Twitter feed or something?

Fangraphs had an article today basically saying "Schwarber is who he is at this point", or a .250 hitter who'll give you 30+ HRs and play average to below average defense. I still think there's a lot left in that bat that we haven't seen.
