Diamondbacks @ Cubs: Godly vs. Lester (Game 133)

Submitted by CTSteve on

The Cubs get back at it, after a much-needed day off.

AZ (65-69): RHP Zack Godley (4-0, 1.90)
CHC (75-57): LHP Jon Lester (8-10, 3.59)
First pitch: 1:20pm

Lester got roughed up (6 IP, 5 ER) by the Dodgers on Saturday and took the loss. He went 2-2 with a 5.04 for the month. AZ is 13-74 (.176) against him. Goldschmidt is 3-6 with a HR.

Godley, the 25y/o South Carolinian rookie, has been good in his handful of games for the D’Backs--5 appearances, 3 starts. He pitched in relief and got the win against the Nationals in his last outing (3.2 IP, 1 ER). Austin Jackson, the only Cub to face him, is 1-2.

Ray vs. Arrieta on Saturday and De La Rosa vs. Hendricks on Sunday.

Go Cubs!

Len just said Cubs are last in the majors in batting average. I had to look that up to confirm it. Methinks the opposite will be true in a few years.

Lester does not get the Michael Jordan treatement from umpires. He really has to fight for his strikes sometimes.

one of the slowest men in the game is taking a 20+ft lead off 2nd. i think the "he's working on throwing over" knockdown scare has worn off in the 4th inning. it keeps working, though. this is at least the 3rd time someone from the club has announced "he's working on throwing over" and the opposing team being cautious the next game. they should do this before every start.

Cubs with lowest batting average in MLB but highest walk total in NL, as Rizzo clubs a grand slam

Jon Lester scored his first career run today. And his 2nd. Now I see why hit bats 8th.

Kinda weird stat -- the NL has 5 teams that are at least 20 games under -- it was 6 before the Brewers swept the Pirates -- and there are none in the AL. Oakland has the worst record in the AL at 18 under. Hunh.

Even when logically I know I should root for the Cardinals, I cannot. I think it's worse than the Packers thing. I think it's literally the worst thing.

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be heard...unedited. 40 years, wow.

    Does he have any options left, Phil?

    morel in the lineup and playing 3rd.

    Richard Lovelady one walk & 20 K, 22 hits but no HR, high ERA, and two-to-one GB to FB in 12.1 IP, so I would guess that's why he got the call. Sort of the exact opposite of Luke Little.

    Definitely surprised about Dick Lovelady. He has a phenomenal name but that’s probably the best thing he’s got. I was kinda hoping for Wieck even though he’s apparently still tossing 86 as his heater

    wicks 15d DL...cubs select...get ready for this one...richard f'n lovelady.  lovelady's stregnths include being able to throw a ball left handed and that's about it.

    also little optioned, palencia up.

    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.
