Cubs @ Pirates: Arrieta vs. Happ (Game 105 Thread)

Submitted by CTSteve on

CHC (57-47): RHP Jake Arrieta (11-6, 2.62)
PIT (61-43): LHP J. A. Happ (4-6, 4.64)

Arrieta started off a bit shaky but eventually settled in on Thursday against the Brewers, going 6 innings and giving up 2 ER. He didn’t factor in the win, but his socks were fab-u-lous. The Pirates are 21-106 (.198) against him. McCutchen is 7-17 (.412).

Happ was acquired from Seattle at the trade deadline to take Burnett’s spot. He had a decent start to the season, then not so much. He went 1-1 with a 7.43 in July. The Cubs are 13-51 (.255) against him. Denorfia is 4-14 with 2 HR. Rizzo is 1-3 with a HR.

Go Cubs!

No Schwarber No Good! /Want to see him hit

Submitted by billybucks on Tue, 08/04/2015 - 08:33 pm

I really hope they don't overdo the lefty thing. I get sitting Schwarber vs. tough LH, like Liriano last night, but if they do it too much it becomes a Catch-22: he can't hit lefties because he never gets to hit against lefties.

Erick Leal pitched 9 innings of no hit ball or the South Bend Cubs. 1 BB, 4 K. Unfortunately the Cubs didn't score either so it's into the 10th...

Haha. No his only 'out' today was a fielder's choice where he actually hit a fly ball that dropped in front of the LF and then the LF fired to 3rd to get denorfia with the force. It was a perfect storm but essentially just short of an infield fly rule type play. I'm sure it's happened but I don't remember ever seeing it. Obviously I've seen RF throw people out at 1B .... but can't remember LF throwing someone out at 3B on a clean single.

ATL goes up 3-2 after 7... ...then SF scores 6 runs in the 8th and 9th because screw SF.

08 was awesome. the team was expected to be good and they were awesome. kerry wood finally returned to form, even though it was as a closer. soto showed up in style stealing fuku's thunder even though fuku wasn't a disaster in 08. an awesome early-season pickup of edmonds and late-season pickup of harden. ...then a 2nd season in a row of quick post-season elimination without putting up even a shred of a fight.

CTSteve -- Thanks for keeping this going! It has been so long, I had almost forgotten how much fun a baseball season can be. Ups and downs, twists and turns, cheering and cursing, scoreboard watching...every day. Awesome.

    Things I've been wrong about:

    -Tauchman is fine as a 4th OF. I knew that. I just want a better LH DH option and he was really the DH for us until Seiya got hurt. I'm glad Mervis is getting a chance at it. Caissie is coming for that job for sure. But Tauchman continues to be highly useful as a 4th OF with Seiya being hurt

    -I wanted Yency to go to get guys at Iowa a chance. Guys like Palencia and Sanders or RileyT. Maybe even Hodge! But Yency has been better the last two plus weeks. He did hit 96 the other day. He was 93 in Texas to open the season.

    -Leiter has his split working enough. It just needs to stay there

    -I was surprised Jed picked Wisdom over Cooper. I wonder if this happens if Seiya wasn't hurt. Wisdom has more power. Cooper is the better hitter. Jed picked Wisdom and Wisdom had an option left as well.

    -Palencia just doesn't miss enough bats. Similar to ManRod, just two yrs younger. ManRod is killing AAA for TB right now!

    Things I got right so far:

    -Hendricks. Sorry Kyle. You got paid though!

    Jed, you missed there.

    -Smyly. If Jed could've traded him before or during ST, then he should have and saved some cash.

    -Mastro.  Not a LH DH. Pinch runner. Defensive utility. Maybe he's better than Madrigal but didn't get a legit chance to prove it.

    -Luke Little is good. He's had one bad outing. That's it. Needs to get better entering with guys on base. But he needs to stay in MLB.

    -Oh yeah....Morel is doing fine at 3B! He'll get better as well!!

    bellinger "right rib contusion"

  • Childersb3 (view)

    South Bend just lost the lead in the bottom of the 9th on the weirdest scenario, ever.

    It's absolutely pouring rain....men on 1st and 2nd, 1out....JPatterson asks for a new ball, but no time out was called....he throws the old ball toward the dugout (not sure if it rolled out of play).....the ump declares the runners get two bases each so one run scores. Then a single up the middle ties the game.

    The rain was coming down in buckets at this point.

    Just weird

  • crunch (view)

    ...and bellinger is gone in the 7th because of that 2nd blown chance and the wall he bounced off of...

    hopefully his rib cage/shoulder feels better tomorrow, we just got happ back.

    Phil,

    Any thoughts on Y. Rojas' stuff and Y. Melendez's game (I believe I've asked about him before, sorry)?

  • crunch (view)

    wow, things are moving fast.  hopefully it continues.

  • crunch (view)

    morel with 4 clean plays in 4 innings...showed off his 100000000mph arm a couple times.

    cody bellinger not having a good 4th, though...5 run leads are handy when your CF is making your pitcher have a 5-out inning.  2nd blown chance was ruled a hit even though it went in/out of his glove...1st was lost in the lights, also ruled a hit.

    welcome back happ!  double off the wall 1st PA back.

    oh yeah, totally, i was just chiming about why i fan like i fan.

    i would like nothing more than hendricks to keep on hendricks'ing.  guys with his stuff can throw for a long, long time as long as it works.

    he velocity is actually up a minor amount this year.  it's really "damn" when a guy like him not only has gas in the tank, but it's looking like it was years ago.  he added a curve a few years ago and it helped a little bit, but he's throwing it less and less while the fb/change combo are less effective.

    CRUNCH—There is no one person in this community I’m talking about.  My remarks were not directed at you or anyone, but at a tone I’ve noticed lately. 

    You have a great, dry sense of humor and there is thought behind your comments.   You and I don’t always agree but I always understand your position.  

    Lastly, and I’ll be quiet, I agree with you on Hendricks.  We can dislike the recent performance but still love the guy.  Lots of questions about his future.
