Cubs @ Cardinals: Arrieta vs. Lackey (Game 72 Thread)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Arrieta threw 122 pitches and had what we like to call a complete game shutout on Sunday against the Twins. This matchup is a redo of the May 7 game in St. Louis, when Arrieta gave up 5 runs (4 earned) in 5.1 and took the loss. The Cards are 28-133 (.211) against him. Heyward is 5-12, Peralta is 6-22, Carpenter is 0-13.

Lackey cruised against the light-hitting Phills on Saturday and went 7 innings of one-run ball in the 10-1 win. In his May win against the Cubs, he went 7.2, gave up 1 ER, and struck out 10. Only Coghlan (7-12) has double digit ABs against him. Montero is 3-9.

Castro’s wife had a baby girl yesterday, and he’s back in. Congrats! Fowler and his ankle, too. Tomorrow we get Donn Roach (7-1, 2.21 for Iowa) in place of Wada.

Go Cubs!

rizzo gets his 30th HBP since his new "elbows over plate" stance in 2014. 15 last year, 15 this year...and counting.

this game... tied in the bottom 8th. STL's "luck"...i hate myself for being jelly as hell about it. #swag #yolo

dammit grimm... bottom 10th, 6 pitches in, guys on the corners, 0 out. sigh.

Game tied by a first career HR by a middle infielder, winning run scores on an error, Cubs 1-9 w/RISP....just another effing day in effing St. Louis.

Tonight we have Roach going for us. The last really good sinkerballer I remember for the Cubs was Rick Roachel. No, no, it was, never mind.

a guy that doesn't miss bats vs the cards...yeah, he's got a sinker, but there should be a good amount of contact. might be a good day to actually play herrerra at 2nd/SS...lol, not...seriously, why is he still on this team? there's some AA/AAA fodder that could do a better job all-around. they're only using him at 2nd/3rd anyway...hurry back lastella...or baez...

After the other 9 players signed leaving Bryan Hudson + the bonus penalty w/o losing draft pick should leave: $1,129,205, is that enough...????

"“I did the best I could to negotiate, but I didn’t have an agent and basically they’ve got you when they draft you after your senior year,” Brooks said. “They pressured me a little, but that’s OK. This is about the opportunity a lot more than it’s about money. I’ve got a lot of close friends who would love to have the chance I have to play pro ball. It was an awesome feeling being drafted.”" ...and that's the story of how the cubs signed a 7th round pick ($211,000) for $5,000. http://www.salisburypost.com/2015/06/12/baseball-brooks-signs-with-cubs/ nice piece on his signing.

    I think it’s a bit of a chicken or egg scenario. Did they make these trades because they saw what was coming and weren’t impressed and knew to keep up with the demand for constant winning thru had to acquire impact players? Or did those additions cause a failure of resource allocation elsewhere.

    In addition, the whole they traded to acquire a star, that’s precisely what organizations should do if they feel they’re a piece away. Keep developing talent, but sometimes you need to supplement that talent. It’s what the best run organizations do. Atlanta does it. Houston in their prime run did it. Nationals during their prime run did it. Of course dodgers did it. Boston and Philadelphia too. Hell, the Cubs did it when they won. There’s no team that has had sustained success that has solely relied on their own internal development. It just doesn’t happen. I wouldn’t fault St Louis for that. What I suspect happened is in that 2020 season, in an effort to save money, they cut budget from developing and scouting. Or maybe the wrong guys got poached by other orgs. Regardless, blaming the acquisition of two of the best players of their generation for peanuts, seems off base to me.

    I do agree that we’ve more or less come to the same conclusion, but our paths to that conclusion contain almost no crossover. I think we can also agree that seeing the cardinals struggle brings a warmth to our hearts.

    I’ve got Tim’s The Last Out too, along with some other prints of his work.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    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.

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

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