Cubs @ Rockies: Hammel vs De La Rosa (Game 123)

Thought experiment: If Bryant played 81 games a season at Coors Field.CHC (78-44): RHP Jason Hammel (13-5, 2.75) 
COL (59-64): LHP Jorge De La Rosa (7-7, 5.29)
First pitch: 3:10pmCST

Hammel has won his last 6 starts--so much for that second-half collapse!--including his last gem against the Brewers (7 IP, 0 ER, 7 K, 3 BB). The Rockies are 23-77 (.299) against him. Hundley is 7-18 with a HR.

De La Rosa had a no-decision against the Nationals his last time out (6 IP, 4 ER, 4 K, 4 BB). He’s marginally better at Coors Field, if you can believe it: 4-3, with a 5.18 ERA. The Cubs are 14-56 (.250) against him. Zobrist, who seems to hit everyone well, is 3-4.

Lester (13-4, 2.86) faces our buddy Edwin Jackson (3-3, 5.36) in San Diego tomorrow at 9:10pmCST.

Go Cubs!

soler scratched...sore leg. he fouled a ball off the back of his leg yesterday and he went down, but he finished the AB. yes, the back of his leg... scuzruzruruzrurzr is replacing him.

Reports that both Coghlan and La Stella will be reporting to Iowa soon. Also reports that Theo has arranged a steel cage death match between the two - winner takes a post-season roster spot

OMFG IT WONT STOP. 1 out in the 1st, COL with a 7 run lead and a man on 1st.

Bottom third, two out and four Cubs errors (and nearly a fifth on the last out). Must have been a good time in the big city last night - one collective team hangover Jinx!

a.russell hit a homer into a trash can...and then 3 grown ass adults fought over who got to dig it out of the trash. "that's the one HR ball we wouldn't say 'Just give it to a kid.'" - len baseball is awesome. cubs down by 9 runs in the 5th...

As Jackstraw or BillyB has said previously, I don't trust Hammel in the Playoffs. I hope he only is used in long relief.

Tough for a breaking ball pitcher to pitch at Coors -- you really need a change-up. Hammel was leaving everything up and in the middle of the plate. I knew he was due for a non-great outing, but yikes! I am fully onboard with the "team hangover" theory, and have pointed out on several occasions that this team has played some really bad games in day games following a nighttime victory. Hmmm.

Don't think it was me who made the comment, but I rarely remember at lunchtime what I had for breakfast. I have wondered over the last three or four outstanding starts that Hammel made why I was still worried every time he pitched. Also, this one is on me since Sunday was my birthday. I texted a friend at the end of one that the Cubs had started celebrating soon after midnight and just decided not to stop drinking. Not sure what Russell has against me, though.

the guy who's 2 for 2 with 2HR, and 2 of 3 hits for the team on the day, is sub'd out in a switch to bring patton. can't we just call this game and go home?

Bummer about the multiple blown leads in Game 1. Cubs always seem to have at least one game like today's when they visit Colorado, and Hammel is not going to be successful at altitude, so this isn't really a shock. Nice job by Rob Z. and Patton (4.2IP, 1 run) to give the bullpen guys (whoever is still out there) another day off.

This is some epic overreaction to Hammel from a game in Coors. Strasbrug got lit up there about 3-4 days ago.

    steele MRI on friday.  counsell expects an IL stint.

    no current plans for his rotation replacement.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

  • crunch (view)

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it

    alzolay...bro...
