Cubs @ Pirates: Arrieta vs. Happ (Game 105 Thread)

Arrieta started off a bit shaky but eventually settled in on Thursday against the Brewers, going 6 innings and giving up 2 ER. He didn’t factor in the win, but his socks were fab-u-lous. The Pirates are 21-106 (.198) against him. McCutchen is 7-17 (.412).

Happ was acquired from Seattle at the trade deadline to take Burnett’s spot. He had a decent start to the season, then not so much. He went 1-1 with a 7.43 in July. The Cubs are 13-51 (.255) against him. Denorfia is 4-14 with 2 HR. Rizzo is 1-3 with a HR.

Go Cubs!

No Schwarber No Good! /Want to see him hit

Submitted by billybucks on Tue, 08/04/2015 - 08:33 pm

I really hope they don't overdo the lefty thing. I get sitting Schwarber vs. tough LH, like Liriano last night, but if they do it too much it becomes a Catch-22: he can't hit lefties because he never gets to hit against lefties.

Erick Leal pitched 9 innings of no hit ball or the South Bend Cubs. 1 BB, 4 K. Unfortunately the Cubs didn't score either so it's into the 10th...

Haha. No his only 'out' today was a fielder's choice where he actually hit a fly ball that dropped in front of the LF and then the LF fired to 3rd to get denorfia with the force. It was a perfect storm but essentially just short of an infield fly rule type play. I'm sure it's happened but I don't remember ever seeing it. Obviously I've seen RF throw people out at 1B .... but can't remember LF throwing someone out at 3B on a clean single.

ATL goes up 3-2 after 7... ...then SF scores 6 runs in the 8th and 9th because screw SF.

08 was awesome. the team was expected to be good and they were awesome. kerry wood finally returned to form, even though it was as a closer. soto showed up in style stealing fuku's thunder even though fuku wasn't a disaster in 08. an awesome early-season pickup of edmonds and late-season pickup of harden. ...then a 2nd season in a row of quick post-season elimination without putting up even a shred of a fight.

CTSteve -- Thanks for keeping this going! It has been so long, I had almost forgotten how much fun a baseball season can be. Ups and downs, twists and turns, cheering and cursing, scoreboard watching...every day. Awesome.

    The Cards also traded for both Jim Edmonds and Larry Walker. It's the developing part that has fallen off. Of course, it could also be the case that there are no more Matt Carpenters left to pull out of the hat.

    Cubs sign 28 yr old RHRP Daniel Missaki. He was in MiLB from his 17yr old to 19yr old years and did pretty well.
    He's been in Mexico and Japan the last four years and has done well also.
    He's supposedly Japanese and Brazilian.
    Interesting sign. We obviously need to RP in the system
    Injuries are mounting everywhere!!

    Sure, they made generally short term trades for established players to enhance what they already had or traded for players early enough in their careers that they were essentially Cardinals from the start. What they never did was to try to use the more established players as foundational cornerstones.

    Essentially we’re saying the same thing. They have given up on player development to the point that even their prospects that make it to the bigs flop so that they have to do things like buy most of their rotation and hope for the best.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!
