Nationals @ Cubs: Gonzalez vs Hammel (Game 29)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Benjamin Thomas Zobrist (aka—Zo, Zorilla, Zobi-Wan Kenobi, a Good Virus) is good at baseball—and he accepts your apologies.
Over the last three games, Zobrist has 4 HRs and 11 RBIs (for 24 total, second on the team to Rizzo’s 28) and is responsible for the winning runs in both games against the Nationals. He has also scored at least one run in the last 7 games. And the only reason he’s not playing all over the field is because Javy has established himself as a crazy good defensive force. You gotta love this team.

For today…

WAS (19-10): LHP Gio Gonzalez (2-1, 1.15)
CHC (22-6): RHP Jason Hammel (4-0, 1.24)
First pitch: 3:05pmCT

Hammel gave up 2 ER in 5 innings to beat the about-to-be-swept Pirates on Monday. The Nats are 35-128 (.273) against him. Murphy is 6-11, Zimmerman is 11-35 with a HR, and Ramos is 3-9 with 2 HRs.

Gonzalez kept the Royals off the board for 6 innings for the win in his last outing. He struck out one and walked two. He was 5-4 with a 4.17 ERA on the road last year. The Cubs are 20-83 (.241) against him. Fowler is 6-14 with a HR, and Heyward is 7-31.

Roark (2-2, 2.35) vs Cy Arrieta (6-0, 0.84) tomorrow at 1:20pmCST to close out the series.

Go, Cubs!

Since the media has decided they are buddies, I looked at Kris Bryant's and Bryce Harper's career trajectories, such as they are, from a stats standpoint, and it's interesting that the biggest difference between them is simply that Harper got off to a faster start because he started right after H.S. I erroneously thought Bryant was actually having a bad year so far this year, but he's quietly got pretty good stats going. I love that he has such a high .OPB. His 22% strikeout rate could be better but it's an overrated stat when your OBP is at .377 and you're not hitting into double plays. He's hitting better on the road this year than at home, which is also encouraging. In other words, I was undervaluing his efforts. I've seen quite a few games this year, so what prompted me to think about it was that it seems he does well with men on base (he does) but not with tons of power. I think that's just the plate approach. If he went for the fences more, he'd be a much less effective hitter. All in all, he's doing just fine. With such a great supporting cast, he doesn't need to have that monster year that I suspect he will have within the next year and a half or so. With Dusty in town, I'm sure glad Maddon is managing this team instead of Dusty. Dusty is actually probably a pretty good guy for the Nats overall, much better than Matt Williams. But Maddon is so damn good with a young roster. Really amazing, actually.

dusty almost exploded in the dugout when russell was walking to 1st on a 3-ball count. the ump didn't do/say anything and gio was confused...then the rest of the world caught up to reality and russell returned to the plate...only to end up walking anyway.

Well, I hope Patton at least gets a large cup of coffee before the next bus to Iowa. That was very disappointing -- perfectly straight 91mph fastball, walks the first hitter (not really even close), gives up a big jump for a SB, then grooves a fastball to a lefty hitter for an RBI double. Didn't see anything positive at all. Nerves, I understand, but I was hoping to see better stuff.

rondon goes 4 days in a row for the 1st time in his career and nails it down. 23-6...unf. 101 run diff...2nd best in MLB is STL with 45 (they've already finished their game today).

    I think it’s a bit of a chicken or egg scenario. Did they make these trades because they saw what was coming and weren’t impressed and knew to keep up with the demand for constant winning thru had to acquire impact players? Or did those additions cause a failure of resource allocation elsewhere.

    In addition, the whole they traded to acquire a star, that’s precisely what organizations should do if they feel they’re a piece away. Keep developing talent, but sometimes you need to supplement that talent. It’s what the best run organizations do. Atlanta does it. Houston in their prime run did it. Nationals during their prime run did it. Of course dodgers did it. Boston and Philadelphia too. Hell, the Cubs did it when they won. There’s no team that has had sustained success that has solely relied on their own internal development. It just doesn’t happen. I wouldn’t fault St Louis for that. What I suspect happened is in that 2020 season, in an effort to save money, they cut budget from developing and scouting. Or maybe the wrong guys got poached by other orgs. Regardless, blaming the acquisition of two of the best players of their generation for peanuts, seems off base to me.

    I do agree that we’ve more or less come to the same conclusion, but our paths to that conclusion contain almost no crossover. I think we can also agree that seeing the cardinals struggle brings a warmth to our hearts.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.
