Brewers @ Cubs: Davies vs. Hendricks (Game 152)

Submitted by CTSteve on

The Cubs magic number is 3… and Jake goes to 20.

MIL (63-88): RHP Zach Davies (1-2, 6.00)
CHC (89-62): RHP Kyle Hendricks (7-6, 4.22)
First pitch: 7:05pmCT

Hendricks had a short outing in Pittsburgh (3 IP, 4 ER, 3 HR) on Thursday and was fortunate to come away with a no-decision, in a game the Cubs would go on to win 9-6. He’s 2-2 with a 3.56 at Wrigley this year. In his two starts against the Brewers, he’s 1-0 with a 0.73. Overall, they are 16-69 (.232) against him. Gennett is 3-12.

This is Davies’ fifth start since joining the big club in September. The 22y/o rookie was acquired by Milwaukee in the trade with the Orioles for Gerardo Parra in July. Davies lost to Cinci his last time out (6 IP, 3 ER). It’s not a huge sample size, but he’s working on some serious reverse splits: righties are hitting 14-45 (.311), while lefties are 5-35 (.143). None of the Cubs have faced him.

Go Cubs!

i wouldn't mind them looking for CF out on the trade market. i'm not really into committing 3-4+ years to fowler at top price with almora lingering in AAA (even if he's not 2016-ready, which he probably won't be). it's a junk CF FA market and fowler is easily the top guy in the class. he's gonna get money and years.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Cubs are probably going to trade for Pagan or Maybin if Fowler declines his QO. Almora earned his promotion to AAA for 2016, and the Cubs likely want to stop-gap that spot for one more year with no other very good candidates in the organization.

1-0 after 5, and I don't think either pitcher has topped 90mph. Hopefully, the Cubs can get this kid the third time around -- he has made them look feeble so far.

schwarb and fowler combine for an awesome, stupid, awesome defensive play...shame a run scored on a sac fly, but that was gonna happen anyway given how deep it was hit.

Submitted by billybucks on Wed, 09/23/2015 - 09:55 pm

Amazing catch and play by Schwarb! But...hard to imagine anyone pitching worse than Grimm did tonight. Just awful. Very discouraging.

Did anybody else have trouble pulling up this site? My browser timed out the last couple of days every time I tried to come here -- until this evening. I even tried different browsers and from different locations (both home and work). Just wondering if anybody else also had problems.

Well, that was a buzzkill. Top 4 in the order go 0-16 with nobody reaching base. Looks like the Cubs started their off day one day early. Bleh.

g.polanco (PIT) injured running the bases in the 9th. limped into the dugout after scoring from 2nd and went straight down the tunnel... also, PIT has a 6 run lead in the top 9th.

    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.

  • crunch (view)

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

  • Cubster (view)

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

  • crunch (view)

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

    rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.

    ...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.

    busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.

    wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.

    cubs run differential getting destroyed.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.

  • crunch (view)

    he's hugging canario in the dugout cuz morel will shrivel up and die if he doesn't hug at least a dozen people a day.
