Padres @ Cubs: Diaz vs Butler (Game 71)

Submitted by CTSteve on

SD (28-44): RHP Miguel Diaz (1-1, 7.36) 
CHC (36-34): RHP Eddie Butler (3-2, 4.41)
First pitch: 1:20pmCST

Butler gave up 6 ER in 4.1 innings in San Diego and took one of the loses in the road trip out West. He gave up 4 ER in 5.2 innings in Pittsburgh on Friday and ended up with a no-decision. The Padres are 9-31 (.290) against him. Hedges is 1-2 with a HR.

The rookie Diaz gave up 4 ER in 3.1 innings but had a no-decision in Milwaukee on Friday, his second start in 23 appearances. None of the Cubs have faced him.

Solarte is heading to the DL after straining his oblique in an at-bat yesterday.

At the start of play, the Cubs are half-a-game out of those silly Brewers. We have 10 games remaining with them, 7 of which are in Milwaukee.

After today, it’s back on the road for Arrieta (6-5) and Locke (0-2) in Miami tomorrow at 6:10pmCST.

Go Cubs!

I always thought ex-Cub farmhand Ryan Buchter would be a major-league reliever. I kind of lost track of him, but there he was on the mound for the Padres last night, and I notice that he put up Buchter-like numbers in 63 innings for SD last year: 34 hits, 78 K's (and a few too many walks).

anyone know where the closest burn ward is in charleston, sc? "The two Single A teams played a three-game series in Charleston over the weekend, and the home team welcomed Tebow by playing a video of him crying during the 2009 SEC Championship game on the jumbotron, putting John 3:16 eyeblack on their mascot, and identifying each visiting batter as “not Tim Tebow” on the jumbotron."

As expected, former Cub starter Dan Straily out-dueling Max Scherzer. Not really, but baseball being baseball, Scherzer loses a no-hitter and a 1-0 lead in the 8th inning, falling to the Marlins 2-1.

Happ only going first row on the homer - he needs a wake up call - send his ass back down to Iowa.

intentionally walking e.aybar to load the bases for sczuzruzruzruruzr...cold ...and a popout. nice. btw, neither e.aybar or m.scuzuruzruruzrzr should be in any competitive team's regular lineup as both have been way too much for the padres.

I don't care if you're Ian Happ, if you only get two hits in a game, you are not gonna win many.

This one really hurt. Padres on get-away day at the end of the road trip, absolute crap starting pitcher....and the Cubs get 2 hits and still should have won. "RF" Bryant misplays a ball hit by a Padre reliever (WTF?) into a double, resulting in a run, and Koji issues a bases-loaded 2-out walk to a .206 hitter for the losing run. This team just can't get out of its own way.

a.russell's wife is filing for divorce. she's also refusing to take part in the MLB investigation. she's never made a comment about it...sounds like she's not going to.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here). 

  • Cubster (view)

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
