Rockies @ Cubs: Flande vs. Beeler (Game 99 Thread)

Beeler--aka, our 26th man--started the second game of a double dip on the 22nd (2 IP, 3 ER). In one of Joe’s better moves, he was pulled for a pinch-hitting Bryant in the third inning. The Cubs scored 5 that inning and went on to win 6-5. None of the Rockies have faced him.

Flande started the year in the minors (AA and AAA). This is his eighth appearance this year but the first start. Against the Cubs last year, he went 0-2 with a 3.83 ERA. The Cubs are 6-30 (.200) against him. Castro has a HR.

Other notes: Wada pitched 6 innings on Monday (2 unearned runs, 4 H, 6 Ks, 1 BB). Tulo (and LaTroy Hawkins, who was clearly the key to the deal) was traded yesterday to Toronto for Reyes. Butler vs. Lester to close out the set tomorrow.

Go Cubs!

6ip 4h 1bb 6k for wada last night in AAA...and we get beeler today in the bigs...beeler. speaking of the minors...i thought cj edwards was going to see occasional pen time and still start. he's done nothing but relief work this year (though a lot of it has been multiple-inning work). his workload is weird. he regularly works 2 innings and gets 3-4 days rest in between it.

12 pitches, man on 2nd, 0 outs, 3 runs already in... (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Well, this is a year to learn. We have learned everything we need to about Dallas Beeler. EDIT: And Rafael Soriano. Still struggling to figure out why he got the start over Wada.

after throwing crap nearly all season he has 3 decent games in a row in AAA somehow earning him some mlb starts. he's a right handed crapballer who's only tool is a fastball/cutter combo he throws at a similar speed hoping the batter guesses wrong. he's got a curve, but no one cares about it. wada has to get out of AAA at some point. i don't understand why it wasn't tonight, either.

Well, Beeler probably got the start simply because he can be brought up and sent down easily. Wada is technically in AAA on a rehab assignment and they just went through the trouble of getting Richards through waivers. If one of them started yesterday and then they acquire a new 5th starter via trade, they'd be stuck with Wada on the roster if he wasn't willing to go down (he has to give his consent in advance before being optioned) and risk losing Richards again by trying to get him through waivers just when teams who missed out on pitching in trades might grab him. So we got Beeler for a game.

I expect a trade for a starting pitcher and some roster shuffling over the next few days.

Gorgeous AB by Russell in the 7th. 11 pitches, fouls off 6. Single to opposite field. Fed a steady diet of FB / Change and never got duped. So nice.

Submitted by Cubster on Tue, 07/28/2015 - 07:47 pm

Odd double switch removing Castro who would have batted 4th in 8th inning. No mention on radio but I wonder if it signals a trade coming. Coghlan at 2nd. Also Javy Baez 2 HRs in first game back at Iowa. Lake and Olt also have hitting shoes on.

Total and complete Cubbery: DJ LeMahieu is 13 for 20 against his old team this season.

PHIL: Very sorry you had to watch the medical situation develop, and peaceful thoughts sent to the family of the loved one. Sure puts everything in perspective.

    Open 40 man spot might see the return of CJ. He’s been okay in Iowa. Teheran has been rocked in his starts this year. SSS of course.

    Wouldn’t be shocked seeing another 40 man spot open with Brewer losing his spot.

    Word is that Counsell thought Mervis and Wisdom got too much work in yesterday so it will be Wesneski.

  • crunch (view)

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

  • Cubster (view)

    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.
