Dodgers @ Cubs: Kazmir vs Arrieta (Game 50)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Arrieta follows the bullpen in the rotation.LAD (27-25): LHP Scott Kazmir (4-3, 4.84)
CHC (35-14): RHP Jake Arrieta (9-0, 1.72)
First pitch: 7:05pmCST

Arrieta had his worst outing of the year on Wednesday in St. Louis (5 IP, 4 ER, 4 K, 1 BB) but came away with a win anyway, after the Cubs scored 9 runs. The last time he saw the Dodgers, he was wearing a mustache onesie and celebrating his first no-hitter. The Dodgers are 14-72 (.194) against him. Crawford is 5-14 with a HR, and Gonzalez is 5-18 with a HR. Utley is 0-10; if he's lucky, he'll get the day off.

Kazmir beat the Reds (6 IP, 1 ER, 12 K, 2 BB) his last time out. He’s 2-0 with a 6.26 so far on the road this year. The Cubs are 2-21 (.095) against him. Zobrist is 1-8, and Fowler is 1-9.

Bolsinger (1-1, 4.50) versus Lester (5-3, 2.48) tomorrow at 7:05pmCST.

Go, Cubs!

Before Wood,Strop, Rondon yesterday Elias: 99 yrs. since a bullpen threw at least 7 perfect innings. last time 6/23/17 by Boston. Ernie Shore retired last 26 after Babe Ruth ejected for arguing balls and strikes after walking lead off hitter. Runner was caught stealing.

watching a game on ESPN is one of the worst things a fan of whatever team is on the field can do...this is, once again, turrible.

Is Jessica Mendoza still announcing for ESPN? She is excellent from what I remember and actually talks knowledgeably about baseball.

yeah, she's not on this game, though. they keep talking about things that aren't this game...a lot...rather than calling this game, doing split screen coverage of other games, doing split screen studio banter, and they just finished cutting away from the game totally (no split screen) to cover another game while missing rizzo's K and the first 2 pitches of zobrist's AB. ESPN...because screw you, you weren't really tuning in to watch this.

I'm thinking Kazmir did not get the memo he was supposed to pitch like a tomato can tonight. Jeesh

Vin Scully sang the seventh-inning stretch. Along with all the great things he is known for, he can sing! He sounded like Willie Nelson out there. And he gave a nice shout-out to Harry. What a class guy.

Thru seven innings the Cubs have more errors than hits and Zobrist has struck out 3 times. And now Richard is pitching. These things do not add up to victory

Submitted by Eric S on Tue, 05/31/2016 - 05:50 pm

I'll give this to Richard: he looks the part of a good pitcher, straight out of central casting. It's a shame he struggles with the getting guys out part of the game.

Submitted by The E-Man on Tue, 05/31/2016 - 05:56 pm

Ahhh Richard with your 6.00+ ERA as a short reliever... You ain't gonna be on no Playoff roster.

g.soto is doing horrible in AAA...unfortunately. unless they decide to bring up g.concepcion or make a trade we might have richard around a little longer. ...that said, it wouldn't surprise me to see him DFA'd after the game...the "lefty specialist" just let 3 lefties in a row get on base. ugg.

Oof -- ugly game at the plate and from the pen, which was the hero yesterday. Sorry Jake -- you deserved better.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    5 IN A ROW!

    hack wilson, ryne sandberg, sammy sosa, christopher morel, and michael busch.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.

    You have to C it! (tm)

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Best hitter: IL with oblique strain

    Second best hitter: hasn’t looked the same since jamming his right hand during a swing

    Third best hitter: playing through a sore hammy

    Best pitcher: IL after one start 

    Second best RP: IL after 1.5 weeks

    suzuki 10d IL.

    right oblique strain.  ow.  that's generally more than a 10d thing.

    Seiya on IL with an oblique strain

  • crunch (view)

    cooper and morel are on the field doing pre-game stuff so it's not them...

  • George Altman (view)

    I'll always remember his 3-0 No-hitter against the Braves when Aaron's HR was blown back into the LF well and BIlly Williams made the catch with his back against the ivy.
