Cubs @ Giants: Arrieta vs. Cain (Game 124 Thread)

Submitted by CTSteve on

CHC (72-51): RHP Jake Arrieta (15-6, 2.30)

Arrieta won his fourth straight game on Thursday (6 IP, 0 ER) against the Braves, making him 4-0 with a 0.66 ERA in August, including a win against the Giants (7.2 IP, 0 ER). He's currently tied with Bumgarner and Wacha for wins at 15. Improving on his July (4-1, 1.90) would seem to be a tall task, but he’s on pace to do it. Arrieta is actually better on the road (9-1, 2.07) than at Wrigley, which might come in handy, say, on October 7th. The Giants are 11-55 (.200) against him. Duffy is 2-5. Posey is 0-6.

Cain, making his tenth start of the season, lost to the Cubs (4 IP, 5 ER) during the four-game sweep earlier this month and had a no-decision in St. Louis (6 IP, 2 ER) his last time out. The Cubs are 38-178 (.213) against him. Denorfia is 5-13, Rizzo is 2-18, and Bryant is 1-2 with a HR.

Of Bryant’s 20 HRs, 17 have been at home, including yesterday’s walk-off. At that pace, a 600-AB season at Wrigley would give him 48 HRs.

The pitching matchups for the rest of the series are Hendricks vs. Peavy and Haren vs. Bumgarner (oof).

The Cubs are a stellar 33-25 on the road so far--which is best in baseball. I hope y’all fit in a disco nap. It’s going to be a late one.

Go Cubs!

Couple of side notes about Javy's big night last night: he played 3B & stole 2nd - headfirst...

Well, here we go. I can say without hyperbole that this week is a million times more important then any in Cubs' history. /Kent Brockman

GEORGE A & HAGSAG: We were in Santa Barbara, Moonstone Beach, Big Sur, San Francisco, and L. A., got to see both the Cubs-Giants & Cubs-Dodgers series, including Jake Arrieta's no-hitter in person, which was so cool. 

Then we got back to AZ just in time for the my boyz AZL Cubs playoff game.

f'real...and good luck to him on that HOF vote chase. this time he can't play victim and pretend him being a "republican" rather than an asshole and his playing career has anything to do with the vote...as if pretty much everyone from his generation of player isn't a republican, too. it'll end up being someone else's fault...i'm just waiting to hear who's fault it is besides his. professional victim...

CSN was talking about Sox trading Quintana possibly in offseason, Theo better get his ass over to 35th and Shields.

Cubs adding pinch runners for Sept....Bonifacio and Quentin Berry. wake me up when they add Ricky Henderson

Submitted by Carlito on Tue, 08/25/2015 - 08:03 pm

Which one is Schwarber again? Skinny guy? Or is he the pudgy guy with the bad facial hair? Anyway sounds like he might have a future in this league.

i imagine j.arrieta is done after 6... ...still done "on paper" after 6 as long as the pen doesn't allow the run, but he gave up a single to start the 7th before being removed. 6ip 4h 1bb 8k, 1r 0er watch out greenkey. don't slip.

Len likes to play music from the visiting cities--eg, Huey, the Dead, and some Night Ranger last night. Plus, he's a huge dweeb.

I'm not into Night Ranger, but his "Sister Christian" selection was OK. Particularly since we did not have to listen to the whole song. Maybe tonight he can play some Jefferson Airplane or Quicksilver Messenger Service. I last went to AT&T Park 2 years ago. During one of the periods between innings, the PA system played "Lights" by Journey and the scoreboard announced an "Air Guitar Solo." I'm not a big Journey fan, but I had to admit it was well done. Somewhat akin to playing "Sweet Home Chicago" at Wrigley. I think AT&T also regularly plays "Don't Stop Believin'," which I really don't like, and Tony Bennett ("I left my Heart in San Francisco"), which is hard to argue with.

The scary thing for the national league is that Schwarber is mired in his first slump. I can't really see that they are pitching him differently, he's just missing more. Classic slump. Just not seeing the ball really well right now in between thumps out of the park.

    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.
