Reds @ Cubs: Leake vs. Hendricks (Game 60 Thread)

Submitted by CTSteve on

CIN (28-32): RHP Mike Leake (3-4, 4.29)
CHC (32-27): RHP Kyle Hendricks (2-2, 3.96)
First pitch: 6:15pmCT

Hendricks gave up 3 R (2 earned) over 5 innings for the 6-3 win in DC. He pitched well, with the only blemish being a second inning HR to Desmond--and that he only threw 84 pitches and lasted 5 innings. Hendricks faced the Reds twice last year, including in September, when he gave up 1 ER over 7 and got the win. The Reds are hitting .261 against him.

Leake won against Philly at home his last time out, giving up 2 ER over 6. The Cubs have had some success against him. Coghlan is 9-11 (.818) with 2 HR and 3 2Bs, Rizzo is 10-25 (.400) with a HR, and the Old Castro is 14-49 (.289).

After yesterday, Bryant, with 8 errors, has the lowest fielding percentage for 3B in the NL. He has not hit a HR since May 26 (when he went back to back in games against WAS) and (with 7) is now on pace for 19 HR. In related news, Mike Olt played 3B for 4 innings and went 1-3 (with 2 Ks, a walk, and a run scored) for the Mesa Cubs in EXST.

The late start time will give us plenty of time to ponder: What’s up with this late start time? Update: Thanks Fox...

Go Cubs!

BP's Chris Crawfords comments on the Cubs/Day one draft picks... http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=26595 9. Chicago Cubs Ian Happ, OF, Cincinnati There are some guys who just get hitting. Ian Happ is one of those guys. The switch-hitting outfielder was the best pure hitter for me in the draft, and is a great pick for the Cubs (yes, I know, you wanted a pitcher). His swing is excellent from both sides of the plate, and there's sneaky pop from the left-side as well, with enough strength to drive into the gaps from the right. The question is whether he'll play second base or the outfield, but wherever he plays, he's going to hit. Another great pick from Theo Epstein and company. and BP's Chris Crawford, commenting on Day 2 of the baseball draft, he no like-ee the Cubs 4th round pick, Darryl Wilson: Round 4 Questionable value: 113. Chicago Cubs: Darryl Wilson, OF, Canton South HS (Oh.) I loved much of what the Cubs did over the first two draft days, but this was one of my least favorite picks of day two. Wilson’s an above-average runner with a swing that has some strength, so he’s not completely without upside. The swing needs a ton of work though, and his overall baseball skills have a ways to go. Not hitting on your fourth-round pick won’t crush you, but there were better prep bats on the board than Wilson. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=26610

Did you all know that Hendricks went to Dartmouth, an Ivy League university? And he studies video! A lot! Wow!

James Russell 3 days in a row....not a good idea. Rain delay further screws up the bullpen....Crap.

How in the world did they not score in the 8th???? This game has a really crappy feeling to it -- Reds tie it on a HR by a no-power guy, then the Cubs get 3 hits in the 8th, 1st and 3rd one up Rizzo up vs. a crap RH pitcher, and he can;t get the ball to the outfield??? WTF????

I've never seen MLB pitchers refuse to pitch to a rookie so soon - they started right away on him, but I sure understand why they do. The guy really knows so much about baseball already. That slide was amazing. He's gonna be the damn MJ of baseball if he stays healthy. Imagine what he's gonna be like when his HR stroke comes around, which it will.

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

  • crunch (view)

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

    rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.

    ...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.

    busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.

    wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.

    cubs run differential getting destroyed.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.

  • crunch (view)

    he's hugging canario in the dugout cuz morel will shrivel up and die if he doesn't hug at least a dozen people a day.

  • crunch (view)

    and morel is injured...nice.

    morel trying to play LF from 3rd...runs into canario while leaping and comes down ribs/arm-first.

    hopefully he sticks around to finish this terrible game, or at least is going to avoid the IL.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    Amen to that last point!
