Arrieta did what Arrieta does on Tuesday: 7 IP and 0 ER to beat the Pirates. He lost in SF last May (6 IP, 4 ER). The Giants are 5-21 (.238) against him. Pagan is 2-3, Pence is 2-4.

Peavy was on the shelf (back) for a good part of the start of the season but has been effective since his return, going 2-2 with a 2.84 in July. He had a no-decision against ATL his last time out (6 IP, 1 ER). The Cubs are 21-86 (.244) against him. Coghlan is 4-10, Montero is 6-23 (.261) with a HR.

Go Cubs!

Boston Globe, Nick Cafardo's Sunday baseball article...Cub related stuff:
Apropos of Nothing: 1. Cubs catcher David Ross says Jon Lester has developed a “frontdoor two-seamer” he did not have while with the Red Sox. “It’s been a great pitch for him,” Ross said. “He’s really pitching well. He’s been outstanding on and off the field as the leader of our staff. He’s pitched a lot better than the record [7-8] has indicated.” And when Lester pitches well, his throwing yips to first base don’t show up.

As CT Steve showed above, lineup today vs Peavy is unchanged (except for Arrieta). Don't fix what isn't broken.

Did you pooh-pooh pitcher batting 8th? Interesting from Bleachernation: Meanwhile, Cubs No. 9 hitters are slashing .235/.291/.350/.640 this season. That slash line is better than what American League ninth-place hitters average (.224/.274/.326/.600) and is easily significantly better than what with the average NL nine-hitter is working with (.181/.225/.250/.475). Interesting to note that the .640 OPS posted by Cubs ninth-place hitters is better than 12 of 15 American League teams. The 43 runs scored by Cubs No. 9 hitters is seventh most in baseball and more than 9 of 15 AL teams. http://www.bleachernation.com/2015/08/09/anecdotally-re-visiting-pitche…

seeing as there's stupid lineup magic involved in that lineup shift that mentally allows maddon to treat the 2 slot like a real hitter should be there, i can live with swapping the 2 worst hitting slots on the team at the end of the lineup. it's stung more than once with the 8/9 swap, but having the 1-2-3 in the lineup constructed like they currently are has most likely paid off way more than that 8/9 swap has hurt.

1 run in and 38 pitches thrown by peavy in the 1st. fowler had a 12 pitch ab (for a K).

coghlan the emergency/spot-start 2nd...good enough, great luxury. coghlan the everyday 2nd...naw.

j.arrieta is gonna cost some serious loot pretty soon. he's an ace that baseball fans/media/etc on whole aren't treating like an ace (yet). 2016+2017 are locked in for the cubs without negotiating on contract length, though. phew.

cubs win. that was way too dramatic, but so damn sweet after loading the bases with 0 out. unf. SWEEP!

Submitted by johann on Sun, 08/09/2015 - 08:00 pm

Not only bases loaded no outs but last two batters with full counts and that last one with 3 or 4 fouls. My god Rondon earned that save today and wow that was an amazing sweep. Cubs bats were just relentless everytime the Giants came back.

How sweep it is /the great one // for o&b and anyone old enuff to remember

Bloody NL Central DeathMatch Fangraphs' sim is predicting an almost 88% chance that the Wild Card game is going to feature 2 NL Central teams. Pirates 77% Cubs 76.9% Cardinals 22% Giants 11.5% Mets 5% Nationals 4.6% Dodgers 2% Diamondbacks 0.3% Padres 0.2%

Continuing the Almora Watch -- 2 more hits and a BB tonight. Last 5 games: 12 hits and 5 BBs. C'mon kid! Oh, and Wilson Contreras leads the Southern League in batting average and OBP, and is second in OPS. He has been raking all year -- wonder why he hasn't been moved up?

Except for "core" prospects, it's hard to advance in the organization mid-season any more. Iowa already has two catchers--Luke Carlin, age 34, and Taylor Teagarden, age 31--who have major-league experience and have to be ready for a call-up in an emergency. At Tennessee, Contreras can play every day. Maybe the Cubs will call him up in September. As a devoted minor-league box-score watcher, I don't recall seeing a Tennessee box score this year in which Contreras had a zero in the hit column. Looking at his last ten games, sure enough there have been 21 hits total, and no zeroes. He looks like the Cubs' best minor-league hitter right now, with Gleyber and Chesny Young in pursuit.

Dodgers led Pirates 5-3 in the 7th...Pirates scored 9 in the inning. Once that game is done, the top 3 NL records will be Cards, Pirates and Cubs. What a division....

    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).

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