Cubs @ Cardinals: Hammel vs Wacha (Game 44)

Submitted by CTSteve on

I’ve been through St. Louis on a horse with no name…
CHC (29-14): RHP Jason Hammel (5-1, 2.13)
STL (24-21): RHP Michael Wacha (2-4, 4.03)
First pitch: 6:10pmCST

Hammel lost to the Brewers on Thursday (6 IP, 4 ER, 7 K, 2 BB). After starting strong, he’s now 2-1 with a 3.97 in four May starts. He gave up 1 ER in 6 innings to win at Busch last month. The Cardinals are 40-133 (.301) against him. Last night’s hero/pain in the ass, Grichuk, is 3-8 with a HR.

Wacha had his worst outing of the season his last time out, getting knocked around by the Rockies (4 IP, 6 ER, 4 K, 1 BB) but getting a no-decision in a game the Cards went on to win 13-7. He was 1-2 with a 6.86 in four starts against the Cubs last year. The Cubs are 22-71 (.310) against him. Rizzo is 10-22 with 2 HRs.

Arrieta (8-0, 1.29) versus Martinez (4-4, 3.56) tomorrow at 12:45pmCST to close out the road trip.

Go, Cubs!

Well I guess if pitchers can keep working the edges of the plate to perfection it will be a long season. But that doesn't seem likely. Rizzo finally, fully, snapping out of it would help.

Remember just two weeks ago, when "all" they had to do was play .500 ball the rest of the season and coast into the playoffs?

Can we please stop pointing out how ridiculous it is to panic and start panicking in earnest?

I think they'll be ok too. But having watched this team since the mid-60s, I never think it's time to conclude, well, thank god the drought is over. I've seen/heard way too many people who follow the Cubs say glad we're finally going to win the Series this year. Please. Weren't the National considered a near lock last year? I'm actually kind of glad to see them hit a mini skid (And sure they still have the best record in baseball, but their last 12 games (which is over 7% of the season) they've played .333) early on, maybe they stay a little hungrier/more cautious instead of bragging about how great they are at celebrating their greatness.

vegas isn't a fan of the game because of how erratic and unpredictable it is. SF has recently won 3 world series many thought they weren't supposed to win...BOS won a world series recently that they weren't even supposed to be in the playoffs for...favored teams with huge wins have seen 1st round exists...fun times. for the most part there's decent enough odds for picking who's getting to the playoffs, but once teams are there it becomes quite erratic. even the best of the best can lose 3-4 games over a 5-7 game series, especially vs another team good enough to make the playoffs.

Grichuk won the game last night but a decent CF would have caught that drive by Ross. Good Cubbery!

3rd inning...soler walked twice in the game...first time since aug 4th last year in the regular season (2 times in the playoffs, amazingly).

Pirates jumping all over Shelby Miller tonight - so glad the Cubs didn't flip a Dansby Swanson type prospect to the Braves for him. Two years of Lackey looking like a good alternative.

It is remarkable how my mood has become uplifted with one game against the Cards. That is sick. But, I have been an addict for a long time. A W tomorrow and it will be a .500 road trip. Also, to keep the losses in perspective, if the Cubs were to lose 10 games a month - a lot at this current pace - they still end up 102-60. Six months of the ride!

    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.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.
