Braves @ Cubs: Foltynewicz vs. Arrieta (Game 119 Thread)

Submitted by CTSteve on

ATL (53-67): RHP Mike Foltynewicz (4-4, 5.61)
CHC (67-51): RHP Jake Arrieta (14-6, 2.39)

Mercifully, Arrieta is pitching today--to put an end to this losing business. He is 3-0 with an 0.84 ERA in his 3 August starts, including his win against the White Sox on Saturday (6.2, 2 ER). The Braves, whom he beat in July (7 IP, 0 ER), are 12-69 (.174) against him. Pierzynski is 7-11 with 2 HR.

Foltynewicz lost to AZ his last time out (4.2 IP, 6 ER). He had been working in relief last year, and this is the 14th career start. The 23y/o Illinois native will have some family in the stands, and they will probably get too much air time. None of the Cubs have faced him.

Go Cubs!

it's been 2 weeks since schwarb got a start at C. he's destined for heavy LF use anyway. with his decent arm and good mobility he should be a damn good one once his tracking/routes get better (not like they're fowler bad or something).

folty isn't going to have a long career as a starter if he's going to throw a 96-98mph fastball without much movement almost all the time...barely saw anything but the heater tonight, and it wasn't working well for him.

I had a tough time sorting out who I should be rooting for in the Pitt-SF series. Ultimately the Pirates. Putting SF away and locking in a playoff spot is more important than getting the 1st wildcard spot. Pitt winning (and Stl having an off day) puts the Pirates 4.5 games behind Stl. So I'm oddly rooting for the Pirates to win the division (If the Cubs don't than anyone is better than StL winning the division) and giving the Cubs a shot at StL in the wild card game. Knocking the Cards out in a one game series would be awesome/historic stuff. ...returning the daydream control settings back to reality.

I'm with you -- it would be great to have a nice cushion over SF before the Cubs head west. They have quite a few games left with the Pirates, so they will have their shot at them. But, for me, locking in a playoff spot (Pirates beat SF) outweighs putting that spot at risk for a chance at a slightly better playoff position (SF beats Pirates). Now, I just need to find the controls to make that happen. Oh, and the Cubs need to keep winning.

I can't stand Bryce Harper and love Rizzo and wouldn't swap them for the world but if anyone but Harper got it at this point would be stupid. Team shouldn't have to get to the playoffs for a player to win MVP especially for a player having the type of year Harper is.

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too.

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled.

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I don’t see Tauchman as a weak link in any position. He simply adds his value in a different way.

    I don’t know that we gain much by putting him in the outfield - Happ, Bellinger and Suzuki and Tauchman all field their positions well. If you’re looking for Taucnman’s kind of AB in a particular game I don’t see why it can’t come from DH.
