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.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    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.

    This was Jaxon Wiggins previous "live" BP on 4/5: 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING (20 pitches - 10 strikes) 
    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis) 
    one HBP (B. Davis)
    two strikeouts (Peralta & Escobar - both looking)
    three swing & miss 
    two fouls

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz)

    six swing & miss
    two fouls

    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS: 
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3)

    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss
