Brewers @ Cubs: Peralta vs. Hammel (Game 150)

Submitted by CTSteve on

The Cardinals take their toys and go home.

MIL (63-86): RHP Wily Peralta (5-9, 4.41)
CHC (87-62): RHP Jason Hammel (8-6, 3.73)
First pitch: 7:05pmCT

Hammel had a short outing (3.2 IP, 4 ER) and a no-decision in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. He’s 2-0 with a 2.59 in his four starts against Milwaukee this season. Braun is 8-23 with 2 HR.

Peralta missed over two months with a strained oblique. He lost to the Cubs (6 IP, 1 ER) in May at Wrigley. The Cubs are 40-108 (.370) against him. Rizzo is 12-26 with 5 HR (and a 1.649 OPS). Castro is 12-27 with 2 HR.

The Cubs are 9-4 against the Brewers so far this year.

Go Cubs!

OK, Jason -- it's all set up for you, big guy. It's the effin' Brewers, and Braun isn't playing -- piece of cake. To put it simply -- Jason Hammel really sucks at pitching. These guys shouldn't score 2 runs in 20 innings, much less one.

Jason Hammels sucks post-injury. Fortunately he will not be on the team next year.

I love to watch Soler swing the bat. Scored 9 runs, and left a lot more out there. Hope Scharber and Russell get going again soon.

It really does feel this offense can compete with anyone and stay in or claw back in any game. With that said, there are still some fundamental problems heading into the playoffs. 3-13 with RISP, too many K's with less than 1 out and runner at 3rd. 3 errors, all pretty routine plays questionable baserunning. Rizzo would have been easily out with no-outs at home if the catcher held the ball, Castro broke for home with a swinging bunt right at the pitcher, and Fowler almost cost a run by trying to grab 2nd on a close play. Finally, what the heck are the cubs going to do with the pitching staff if they make the NLDS or NLCS? Is Hammel really going to pitch game 2 with a 6+ ERA in the 2nd half?

I don't know how much you watch the other MLB teams, but all of the good teams (all 5) have various holes: rotation after #2, bullpen, loogies, offense, poor team obp, K's, team D, etc. You are looking at this team as if it is a veteran squad with no problems. Grab a hold of yourself and realize that half the team was born when you were in college, or after! They are way over their heads, and don't know it. I really didn't think they would even get into the Playoffs this year! Joe Maddon has made an incredible difference getting out of all of them what he could. So, enjoy what there is to enjoy, suffer what there is to suffer. This team is competing with the best teams in baseball for 2015. Just sit back and enjoy it.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, and no. I agree with all your points, but you are also missing mine. I am loving every minute of the season, but the reason I come here is to engage, discuss, and debate with others on things I have absolutely no control of and little knowledge of. I have no real expectations that they haven't already blown away. With that said, it would be pretty awesome if the Cubs make it to the World Series...so why not use this to talk about the flaws as well as what we already know is great?

And no, not just bitching. This team is incredibly fun to watch and this is a truly memorable season no matter what...but time to get greedy and hope the big weaknesses facing the Cubs in the playoffs sort themselves out. Still think home field is critical for WC game.

    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 savored...unedited. 40 years, wow.

    Does he have any options left, Phil?
