Mets @ Cubs: Gsellman vs Quintana (Game 144)

Submitted by CTSteve on

NYM (63-80): RHP Robert Gsellman (6-6, 5.44)
CHC (77-66): LHP José Quintana (9-11, 4.32)
First pitch: 7:05pmCST

Quintana went 6 innings of scoreless baseball on Wednesday in Pittsburgh, but he ended up with a no-decision because he didn’t also hit a two-run homer.

Overall, the Mets are 24-70 (.343) against him, but most of that is the DLing Cespedes (10-18, 4 HR—dang!). Aoki is 7-17.

Gsellman beat the Phillies (6 IP, 2 ER, 4 K, 1 BB) his last time out. All but three of his 21 appearances this season have been as a starter. He’s 2-3 with a 7.44 on the road in 2017. None of the Cubs have faced him.

Harvey (5-4) and Lester (10-7) continue the series tomorrow at the same time.

Go Cubs!

This is really, really starting to feel like 2004. Every hitter looks tight, and nobody can get a hit with men on base.

I'm fully feeling a sense of impending doom about this season. Meanwhile Cards are doing what the Cubs and Brewers failed to do in long stretches against bad teams. They are dominating teams at the bottom of the standings.

My sense of impending doom would be a lot less intense if I read fewer of the comments here. *le sigh* People have noted this season that the Brewers are "playing with house money" having already far exceeded expectations for their season. Shouldn't we feel that way about the Cubs after the World Series victory? My version of that has been to check out for long stretches this season. I was so engaged in 2015 and 2016 when the team was exciting, the best regular season team across the two seasons, and a played some intense playoff games. Now I feel sort of dismissive when they are on losing streaks and slightly piqued when they are winning. Maybe these last few weeks and then, potentially, playoffs will get me back into it.

Punchless lineup, terrible. How the hell can you justify Zobrist and Heyward in a lineup at the same time?

Zobrist has looked pretty good since the beginning of August. He may have recovered from his nagging injuries in the first half of the season, like he did with KC in 2015. Since August 1, he has slashed .287/.371/.426 and in the last 28 days (not including going 2 for 3 with 3BB and 4 runs scored tonight against the Mets), he has hit .307/.376/.520. I'll put that kind of production in my line-up pretty regularly.

Youngest lineup in baseball. Just give them time and I think they're capable of doing something special.

Submitted by The E-Man on Tue, 09/12/2017 - 09:57 pm

I as well, like some of you, feel regardless of this years' outcome - they will be rockin' next year provided they stay moderately healthy.

i'm wondering who they're going to slot in between lester and Q. they got the $$ to get it done to whatever scale they want to, so i dunno where to start the expectations for who might be coming. bringing back arrieta, signing cobb, signing otani, trading for someone, etc etc who knows... be interesting to see what arms the pen will get in the offseason, too.

new rule: i dont care how much the wind in the OF is blowing the ball around, let's not sit schwarber for 3 games in a row

Submitted by crunch on Tue, 09/12/2017 - 09:54 pm

Q... 7ip 6h 1bb 7k, 2r/er nice. 2 HBP, though...and his 7th as a cub in 65 innings. he's not a guy known for HBPs.

I like the fact Maddon left him in for 112 pitches through 7. I've felt all year, Maddon has been too quick to go to the bullpen and he's burned them out. So many starts into the 6th. So few starts into the 7th.

Submitted by blockhead25 on Tue, 09/12/2017 - 09:10 pm

Well, Cards are scaring the heck out of me...but still rather be us than them. Very much hope we get the lead up to 3 before they come in town.

For those who partook of the is Kris Bryant a bad defensive 3B discussion: His advanced defensive stats have jumped into the positive side of the win spectrum for some reason recently. Fangraphs now has him 6th among qualified NL 3B in UZR/150 at the position but just 8th in DRS. That's pretty much average-ish. I don't know which plays he's had that have made those advanced stats jump in the last couple of weeks. Still not clutch, though.

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    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). 

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    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. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    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.

  • crunch (view)

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

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

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

    Just a difference of opinion
