Hey, We Already Saw This Movie and Didn't Like It Then!—Cards 2, Cubs 1

Submitted by Cubnut on

For the second night in a row, the Cubs failed to support a deserving starting pitcher with any offense and they lost another low-scoring game to the Cardinals.

Ryan Dempster allowed just six hits, two walks, and two earned runs over seven innings, but the Cub bats failed to produce any scoring until Micah Hoffpauir delivered a pinch single in the ninth to bring home Milton Bradley. The Cubs, who saw Reed Johnson fan to end the game with the potential tying run on third base, mustered just six hits after collecting three against Joel Piniero on Tuesday night.

Looks like having starters with batting averages like .230, .193, .200, and .202 is beginning to catch up with our boys.

What do you think, Mr. Piniella?

"You always have a few people struggling, but not four or five in a lineup. I mean, you could have four or five struggling in a 13-man alignment with your bench, but we're talking about guys that are regulars.

"So when that improves -- and it will -- you'll see our offense pick up and we'll do things with a lot more consistency."

Chris Carpenter, returning from injury, blanked the visitors for the first five innings and is now 8-3 lifetime against the Cubs.

Personally, I am looking forward to Carlos Zambrano's return against the Padres on Friday night. Aside from the hitters dealing with their myriad individual struggles, the regulars have to be feeling the weight of Aramis Ramirez's absence and maybe Zambrano will do something, anything, to jolt this team back awake.

To quote from Animal House, "I think this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part," and I'm feeling that maybe Zambrano will be the guy to do it.

Sean Marshall goes against Adam Wainwright in the series finale in Saint Louis Thursday night.

who does carpenter think he is, joel pineiro?
and what was the purpose of getting freel for this team- can't he out hit miles or scales or even fontenot at this time?
marshall as stopper, who'd a thunk it? here's hoping that that will be tomorrow's headline.

This team is terrible. Blow it up and let's try the Marlin's recipe for success, it's worked for them twice since 1997, we haven't done shit except shit our pants come playoff time.
For those scoring at home, that was a double shitter. No courtesy flushes were used.

They're talking about Peavy to W Sox rumors on WSCR. Not sure how serious the rumors are, but it's interesting. If you ask me, the White Sox shouldn't be buyers at this point, they should be sellers. Yes, even in mid-May. They're that bad.
After seeing the Cubs the last week I'd pass on pitching. Find a bat.

Too bad Barrett's not around to beat up on anymore.

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS: 
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS: 
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP

    wall stole a HR from busch...double.  nice to see him destroy a curve ball.

    upon further viewing, that might not have been a homer in too many parks...it had a lot of hang time, though.
