Phillies @ Cubs: Velasquez vs Lackey (Game 48)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Nothing but blue skies.

PHI (26-23): RHP Vince Velasquez (5-1, 2.75)
CHC (33-14): RHP John Lackey (4-2, 3.38)
First pitch: 1:20pmCST

Lackey had a no-decision against the Cardinals on Monday (7 IP, 3 ER, 9 K, 1 BB) in a game the Cubs lost 4-3. He’s 1-1 with a 2.25 so far in May. The Phillies are 19-64 (.297) against him. Herrera and Bourjos are both 3-4.

Velasquez, a 23y/o who broke in with the Phills last June, had no-decision against the Tigers his last time out (4 IP, 3 ER, 2 K, 2 BB). He’s 2-0 with a 4.50 on the road so far this year. None of the Cubs have faced him.

The forecast calls for 81-degrees and a mostly sunny sweep. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Wood (1-3, 4.03) and the Dodgers versus Hammel (6-1, 2.17) to start the four-game set tomorrow at the Memorial Day start-time of 4:05pmCST.

Go, Cubs!

ben zobrist gets to ride up front tonight cause he's a good guy at sports. cubs with a 5 run lead and a lackey shutout through 3ip \m/

Good thing the Cubs have five left-handed batters in the lineup. Velasquez is just tearing thru the righties [edit - doesn't seem to faze Bryant!]

If the best walk-off hit possible is a solo home run in a zero-zero game--Eloy did it tonight! (But maybe it's a grand slam when your team is down three? He didn't do that.) Number eight for Jimenez. His team is 31-17. Yesterday they scored 17 runs against Lansing. Two weeks ago it was 15 runs against the same team. This is a nice team, South Bend. The Cubs must have had a good draft last year. Tonight the pitchers were Sands, Brooks and Effross.

They've already clinched a minimum winning percentage of .607 for the month, and that's only if they lose the last 2 games. If they win both, they can push that up to .679. So much for "stumbling" in May. When you're winning over 60% of your games, you're doing baseball well.

I see where catcher Cael Brockmeyer was promoted to Tennessee a couple of days ago, to fill a roster spot vacated by David Freitas, recently promoted to Iowa. Caratini is the other catcher at Tennessee.

Any word on Neil Ramirez?? Today is his 10th day where they have had to have done something with him, or are they not count today because it is a holiday??

CUBBIES-4-EVER: It's not ten days including the day the player was Designated for Assignment, it's ten day from the day the player was Designated for Assignment. 

So because Neil Ramirez was Designated for Assignment on 5/21, the deadline to either assign the player to another club (MLB or minor league) or release the player is 5/31 (today).

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
