Cubs @ Brewers: Hammel vs Nelson (Game 95)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Everyone into the bus…CHC (57-37): RHP Jason Hammel (8-5, 3.34)
MIL (40-53): RHP Jimmy Nelson (6-7, 3.39)
First pitch: 7:10pmCST

Hammel had a nice start to the second half, winning against the Rangers (6 IP, 1 ER, 7 K, 1 BB). Hopefully, his potato chip diet keeps him regular. He’s 4-4 with a 3.81 on the road so far this year, including a loss in Milwaukee in May, in which he gave up 4 ER in 6 innings. The Brewers are 25-98 (.255) against him. Braun is 8-23 with 2 HR—depending on what your definition of the word “is” is.

Nelson won in Cinci his last time out (7 IP, 0 ER, 7 K, 2 BB). He’s 4-3 with a 2.45 at home this season. In his two games against the Cubs, he’s 0-1 with an 0.71. Overall, the Cubs are 32-127 (.252) against him. Coghlan is 4-15 with a HR.

The newly acquired Mike Montgomery is expected in Milwaukee at some point this weekend. He was 3-4 with a 2.34 with the Mariners this season, which included two starts. Fowler (out since June 19 with a right hamstring strain) is expected back during the series. Joe Nathan might also make his debut.

Lackey (7-6, 3.75) versus Davies (6-4, 3.79) tomorrow at 6:10pmCST.

Go Cubs!

I gotta say with the crappy defense the Brewers have displayed outside of Fowler I'm pretty disappointed the offense hasn't shown more and Rizzo seems to be very swing happy lately. That said my god am I happy Madden has finally given Carl Edwards a chance after multiple times up with nothing. I don't think he could handle a starting role with his body frame but his stuff plays so well in a relief role and he seems to be able to handle high stress situations very well.

m.montgomery up in the pen with a man on 2nd, 2 out, and rondon 20 pitches into the inning. ...and rondon ends it 22 pitches in with a popout to RF.

Carl Jr.! Very nice! Baez with another "WTF?" play trying a delayed steal with a runner on 3rd and one out.. Remarkable talent, needs to make better decisions.

I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.

vogelbomb debut for tacoma (AAA SEA)... 3-3, 1bb, 1 HR, 1 double...DH'd. while he mostly played 1st considerably more than DH for AAA CHC, DJ Peterson is probably going to see most of the time at 1st for AAA SEA.

seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.

Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.

    Sure, they made generally short term trades for established players to enhance what they already had or traded for players early enough in their careers that they were essentially Cardinals from the start. What they never did was to try to use the more established players as foundational cornerstones.

    Essentially we’re saying the same thing. They have given up on player development to the point that even their prospects that make it to the bigs flop so that they have to do things like buy most of their rotation and hope for the best.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    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.
