Cubs @ Brewers: Haren vs. Lopez (Game 162)

Submitted by CTSteve on

The Pirates magic number remains at 1.

CHC (96-65): RHP Dan Haren (10-9, 3.67)
MIL (68-93): RHP Jorge Lopez (1-0, 5.40)
First pitch: 2:10pmCT

Haren won in Cincinnati on Tuesday (7.1 IP, 0 ER), doing his part to continue the amazing run of Cubs starting pitching. He ended up going 2-0 with a 2.36 in September. He beat the Brewers at Wrigley on August 11 (5.1 IP, 3 ER). Lind is 5-16 with 2 HR against him.

Lopez, a 22y/o Puerto Rican and second round draft pick from 2011, is the last in a run of rookies that are hopefully not ruining the Cubs postseason bats. He won in San Diego (5 IP, 3 ER) in his MLB debut on Tuesday. None of the Cubs have faced him.

I don't know what y'all have planned for Wednesday's game, but I'll be streaming TBS via Sling TV and chromecasting it--cordcutting is overrated during the postseason--and hanging out in the TCR Parachat. Bring your favorite sound effect and say hello. 

Go Cubs!

Probably going to a bar/restaurant with TBS. Cord-cutting is so over-rated.

Surprised and bummed that Mark Buehrle is retiring. One of my all-time favorite pitchers. I think he could pitch for 5 more years.

Mark Gonzales ‏@MDGonzales 4m4 minutes ago Bryant leads NL rookies in HRs (26), RBIs (99), 2B (31) and runs (86). Last rookie to reach 26 HR, 99 RBI, 31 2bs, 86 runs and 74 BBs? Mark Gonzales ‏@MDGonzales 4m4 minutes ago Boston’s Ted Williams in 1939

Totally independent of the Cubs winning or losing today, Dan Haren came into today's game having earned $2M of his potential $3M in performance bonuses for 2015. 

By making the start (his 32nd start of the season) he picked up $500K, and he'll get the remaining $500K if he can throw at least 8.2 IP in the game (he was at 181.1 IP coming into the game, and he needs to reach 190 IP to get the remaining $500K), 

It's a bit like the old "Bowling for Dollars" TV show, but of course Haren is actually "Pitching for Dollars."

    Brewers lose Wade Miley to Tommy John surgery.

    25 games played with a -85 run differential.  insane.

    White Sox DFA Bailey Horn. I'm thinking the Cubs would love to get him back although they probably won't have a decent chance of claiming him without another swap.

    WSox also call up former Cub Rafael Ortega (and additionally Tommy Pham). They are hurting and having a gawd awful April.

    White Sox DFA'd Bailey Horn.

    He wasn't producing good results in Charlotte (AAA).

    But Jed might bring him back with that open 40man spot. Then try the "sneak him thru waivers" gambit.

    Oh my, now I will have nightmares of me sitting in the bowels of the Wrigley security detention cell.

    One more thing...

    One of the reasons I come to this site...

     ...in addition to Arizona Phil, who is, as we all know, a treasure trove of well-written fresh information, honest evaluation, and sneaky-subtle humor regarding the entire Cub organization...

    ... is CubbyBlue and Tim's fantastic and timely visual takes on the Cubs (to be fair, he does have a much broader Chicago-flavored brush well beyond the Cubs).  Thanks for so many memorable images.  I am fortunate to own (one of my prize possessions) a print that I framed (55/200) of "The Last Out" with KB's shit-eating grin as he fields the series winning out of the 2016 WS.

    Tim, will you visit me if I do the text security thingy and description: Tim S? Or will I find myself in a Cub detention cell.

    i.e. "or send a text message to 773-839-**** with the keyword "Friendly" and include your seat location and a description of your issue.

    Incredible moment. Huge part of the fun of working there is when something magic like that happens, and you get to interact with baseball fans.

    That bear hug was indeed awesome. Word is that Dansby has become an outstanding clubhouse leader and that moment really demonstrated it. That reaction was one of a proud coach/mentor who’s student just excelled. I’m not even sure who was more overjoyed, Dansby or PCA. A veteran expressing that kind of unabashed support and enthusiasm for a struggling rookie is beyond fantastic to see.

    BAHAHA! I've actually not seen a single fight, but can't wait to see 70 degrees for sure!

  • crunch (view)

    next time i roll up into wrigley i'll try to start a fist fight and maybe we'll meet.

    be prepared.  i'm gonna make you earn your money.

    seriously, though...that's a cool as hell "retirement" assignment.  i imagine it will be better with warmer nights.
