Cardinals @ Cubs: Lackey vs. Hammel (Game 167; NLDS Game 4)

Submitted by CTSteve on

The Cubs set a postseason record with 6 HRs to pick up their ace. Now let’s win it at home.

STL: RHP John Lackey
CHC: RHP Jason Hammel
First pitch: 3:37pmCT

Hammel last pitched on Oct. 1, when he won in Cincinnati (5 IP, 0 ER). At Wrigley this year, he went 3-3 with a 3.99. He’s 1-1 with a 5.73 in three games against St. Louis this year, and they are batting .244 against him in those games. The one game against the Cardinals at Wrigley came on July 8, when he left after an inning because of a hamstring tweak. Overall, the Cards are 41-127 (.323) against him: Heyward is 9-18, Peralta is 9-23 with 2 HR, Holliday is 4-11. Hammel is 0-1 with a 4.80 is 4 postseason appearances.

Lackey is back on short rest in the elimination game. He beat the Cubs on Friday in Game One against Lester in St. Louis (7.1 IP, 0 ER). The Cubs are 34-121 (.281) against him. Coghlan is 8-17, Soler (who has stopped making outs) is 4-8.

Go Cubs!

Just to remember how far we have come: last year's opening day lineup was Bonifacio, Lake, Castro, Rizzo, Olt, Castillo, Schierholz, Barney, and Samardzija. It's been a fun ride this year!

No idea what will happen. The Cards are the Cards and they have come back from 2-1 holes twice in the last 4 years, so I don't see them in panic mode at all. If anything, I expect the Cubs to be pressing more than the Cards today. I want the Cubs to win because it would be great for the city, and great for the fans. But more than anything, I want the Cubs to win so I can see this team play for at least one more week this year. Never enjoyed watching a team more than this year.

Yes. Unfortunately, as many of us, I have seen this movie before. Do not care for Hammel, and unlike other managers Joe will pull the plug quickly at least. I hope before things were to get out of hand. Many of us are like "abused spouses" or whatever - with this Cubs stuff. You get hurt so many times, the trust rapidly erodes. If the Cubs can get to Lackey early, its gonna be a big key to a W or L.

Well, at least it took Hammel 2 batters to give up a first inning run. Worst nightmare realized in under 3 minutes.

JAVY "BAE"Z I LOVE YOU JUST... THIS SEASON. WOW.

Don't think I've ever seen a crowd go that crazy for a K to end the 4th inning. This is going to be a long, crazy, afternoon.

Pretty good pitch by Cahill that Cruz hit, though throwing a breaking ball in the dirt seems like a better option in retrospect.

    Sure, they made generally short term trades for established players to enhance what they already had or traded for players early enough in their careers that they were essentially Cardinals from the start. What they never did was to try to use the more established players as foundational cornerstones.

    Essentially we’re saying the same thing. They have given up on player development to the point that even their prospects that make it to the bigs flop so that they have to do things like buy most of their rotation and hope for the best.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

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

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

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

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.
