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.

    per Tribune: Suzuki MRI results pending from yesterday so we should get a timetable for return later today.

    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.

    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.
