Cubs @ Giants: Haren vs. Bumgarner (Game 126)

Submitted by CTSteve on

CHC (73-52): RHP Dan Haren (8-8, 3.76)
SF (67-59): LHP Madison Bumgarner (15-6, 3.02)
First pitch: 2:45pmCT
Haren didn’t pitch well against Atlanta on Saturday (4.1 IP, 4 ER) but escaped with a no-decision in a game the Cubs went on to win 9-7, thanks to a pair of solo HRs by Montero and Soler in the 8th. The Giants are 40-134 (.299) against Haren. Byrd is 14-33 (.424) with 3 HRs.

The Cubs were fortunate to miss Bumgarner in the four-game set at Wrigley. He’s in the middle of his best month all season (4-0, 1.42), including a win in Pittsburgh (6.1 IP, 3 ER) his last time out. He’s 7-2 with a 2.05 ERA at home. And he’s equally good against lefties (.236/.283/.311) and righties (.231/.269/.370). The Cubs are 47-135 (.269) against him. Castro is 10-24 (.417), and Denorfia is 15-47 (.319).

Go Cubs!

With three home runs this week, 18-year-old Eloy Jimenez now has seven on the season. His slash is 288/340/440(/780). He and Gleyber Torres were the top two international prospects in 2013. Gleyber was recently named "Prospect of the Year" in the Midwest League. Eloy's team, the Eugene Emeralds--their logo/mascot is Bigfoot--has had a strong second half and has a shot at the Northwest League playoffs. They have a big 20-year-old righty from DR, Oscar de la Cruz, who is 6-3 with a 1.04 WHIP and 69 strikeouts in 67 innings. Last night, he struck out 13 in 7 innings, allowing one hit and a walk. Only Eugene and Myrtle Beach among Cub farm teams can make the playoffs this year. Myrtle is already in.

It is unlikely that the Cubs would beat Bumgarner today. They missed him last time in Chi. This is one "hole" glaring in the Cubs organization in that they have not had anyone remotely close to Chris Archer that they have drafted in many years. So, while they now have a great opportunity to have a consistent, prolific offense, there is zilch in AA or AAA that can come up as a number 4+ or 5 starter right now. Beeler, Richards, Shitter, Jokish,etc. Carlos Pimental will probably get a Sept. call-up - but this is what happens when you are not the White Sox and opt for drafting/developing Bam Bams over Chris Archers. So - "live by the sword, die by the sword". I would expect in the Winter they will be in play for 1 or 2 big FA's again, and maybe trade for another. But after Hammel, we ain't got shit.

I think we have to constantly remind ourselves we're a year ahead if schedule and that's especially noticeable with pitching. As you say it seems the plan is to get a big name FA pitcher which would push Hammel to 4th and Hendricks to 5th. I haven't compared #s but I'm guessing Hendricks stacks up just fine with #5 starters throughout the league. This year once we make it into the playoffs (fingers crossed ) we can shorten our rotation and bullpen both and still have a very good chance.

In addition to a "top 3" SP, we really need a good lefty in the pen. Travis is inconsistent, Russell is terrible, Rosscup ain't it, Richard is there because they don't know what else to do with him (how about replacing Haren in the rotation...please!). The Haren signing didn't work....OK, that happens. Move on.

k.tomlinson has 8 HR in 1913 PA in the minors. he's got a grand slam for his 1st MLB HR. this game is dildos.

cubs get f.rodney from SEA for cash considerations. rosscup to AAA and shitter DFA'd. nice pickup on the cheap.

i like the gamble even though the team already has a pen full of mid-90s throwing righties. i mostly like the gamble because there was nothing give up but loot. even if it's deck chair shuffling, there's room for it. i'm not stoked, but i am intrigued considering his velocity is still intact and he only cost loot.

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far.

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.

    i have no hard data, but i'm seeing the same thing.

    there used to be some parks where that was rampant (colorado during the todd helton days comes to mind), but i'm seeing it all over the place the past couple seasons.

    I’ll spare the details which I’ve stated before but, in short, the Cardinals have lost their sight of their successful identity and strategy over last several dominant decades. From the beginning of the season I saw the Cardinals being in last place or near it again this year, and my prediction is that Mozeliak will be gone after the end of the season.

    I would have kept Cooper rather than Wisdom, but at least I can understand why they did it.  In a team that lacks dominant power hitters, Wisdom can be a dominant power hitter, at least in streaks.  I suppose that there is always the possibility that the streaks longer in both duration and frequency.  I will be content if they essentially make a 100 % DH commitment to Mervis against righties and Wisdom against lefties.  When a regular needs rest, give them total rest, rather than a DH rest.  Do this for at least 2 months, and then re-evaluate at that point.

    This is Cubs adjacent but…


    Jordan Walker just was optioned by the deadbirds. For all the talk of the Cardinals development machine, they’ve really missed on a lot of can’t miss superstars lately. Walker has struggled. Gorman has been okay. They’re already trying to push Carlson out the door. Their pitching system has been so bad they had to go out and sign basically a full rotation over the last two offseasons.

    They’ve still developed a few of those pesky solid players, like Donovan, Edman, and Nootbaar. Their two best prospect to MLB players have been Adolis and Arozarena, neither of which is a cardinal.

    I hope they never figure it out again. Cardinal failure brings me such joy.
