Game Thread: Cubs (13-15) at Pirates (12-15)

Submitted by Cubnut on

Unbeaten Randy Wells (3-0, 3.45) matches up with lefty Brian Burres (1-1) as the Cubs try to avoid their first sweep at the hands of the Pirates since 2006. Burres comes into the game with an ERA of 6.00, i.e., about 7 runs per game lower than Charlie Morton, who frustrated the Cubs last night.

A couple wrinkles in the Cubs batting order tonight (aren't there always?):

Cubs: Theriot 6, Byrd 8, Lee 3, Nady 9, Ramirez 5, Soriano 7, Soto 2, Baker 8, Wells 1

Pirates: Iwamura 4, LaRoche 5, McCutchen 8, Jones 3, Doumit 2, Church 9, Milledge 7, Cedeno 7, Burres 1

Finally, this interesting, depressing tweet from @CarrieMuskat: "#Cubs batting .251 on road, but if subtract Milw series 4/23-25 stats, they're only hitting .220 away from Wrigley."

i'm just playing around anyway. beyond the ways a manager uses to not have players kill each other while working for 200+ days a year a lot are just pretty damn similar. some people do that with a hugs-and-candy lockerroom and some do that putting up with serious static in the clubhouse without it spilling out on the field (RIP Billy Martin). there is no reason on this planet joe torre should make the money he does (or has in the past). this guy runs 5-7+m a year. this ain't football. they're not sitting around with a crew of trusted coaches creating massive playbooks even if they are exploiting weaknesses of the other team. we all know the game can almost run itself with only a few variations as far the actual in-game strategy goes. we might not (and generally don't) get everything the way we'd do it in a game, but for the most part things follow a general logical flow.

surprises? --- Iowa: Caridad gets a loss as he gives up a solo HR to put New Orleans Zephyrs in the lead 2-1. Darwin Barney has two more hits to get his avg over .300. Yep, he'll be ready this weekend. Tenn, looks like a doubleheader split: Cashner pitches5.2 innings and a 2 hit shutout, 3 BB, 8 K's in a 5-0 win. In game one, Castro goes 2 for 3 including his fifth triple, .376

late last night, LaTroy Hawkins fell to 0-3 after... giving up a walk-off Grand Salami to Andre Ethier. Hawkins in the 9th = Big bang theory or the more things change, the more they stay the same.

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.
