Mariners @ Cubs: Miley vs Arrieta (Game 103)

Submitted by CTSteve on
The Cubs (and the good Arrieta?) face another lefty. SEA (51-50): LHP Wade Miley (6-8, 5.23) CHC (62-40): RHP Jake Arrieta (12-4, 2.76) First pitch: 1:20pmCST Arrieta had a no-decision against the Sox on the Southside on Monday (6 IP, 4 ER, 6 K, 2 BB). He’s 0-2 with a 5.55 for the month. The Mariners are 14-69 (.203) against him. Cruz and his PEDs are 4-10 with a HR. Miley lost in Toronto his last time out (6 IP, 2 ER, 4 K, 2 BB), to complete a string of 6 straight losses. Youch. He’s 3-4 with a 5.46 on the road this year. The Cubs are 12-56 (.214) against him. Fowler is 6-17 with a HR. Hernandez (5-4, 3.45) versus Hendricks (9-7, 2.39), ruined by ESPN tomorrow at 7:08pmCST. Go Cubs!

IMO Jake is really the key to winning the World Series, but maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on one player.

He was a big key to the crazy start, a big key to the end of last year, a big key in not beating the Mets (although lots of help from a tired inexperienced team there), so although the team as a whole can get through a series with a good Jake it will be tough with a bad Jake. I don't think it's realistic to have the insanely great Jake again, but maybe it is. Seeing today's box score it appears maybe it is - but I haven't been able to tune in yet.

this game is f'n flying by. also, "Hernandez (5-4, 3.45) versus Hendricks (9-7, 2.39), ruined by ESPN tomorrow at 7:08pmCST." gets 1000 upvotes and a gold star.

Looking for Bryant to break up another no-no with a long fly ball in the sixth. But any hit will do.

It's the law of baseball -- if you score 10+ runs in a game, you must struggle to score in the next game. Particulalry against an inferior pitcher.

Miley thru six: no hits, no walks, 8 K's - one batter (Bryant) reached on a error by Seager (hard hit but clearly an error). At 71 pitches

Submitted by Eric S on Sat, 07/30/2016 - 07:12 pm

Complete craziness bottom seven. Bottom line Cubs were fortunate to score a run And of course Arrieta walks the first two batters in the eighth (to be fair he was totally squeezed on Zunino's walk to start the inning)

That second walk he gave Up was awful though with no pitches even close to being a strike. He was trying to pitch around bunt and that almost never works. That said Rondon should have been brought in after the first walk and should have been left in to finish the inning because he was looking like he had good stuff.

First time I've ever seen a base running slump -- he's made some poor decisions recently, but I thought it was a great idea to try to score there -- it's not like Heyward was going to get a 2-out hit against a LHP. Sliding feet-first into home is probably the safe (ugh) way to go, but it's hard to get the foot on the plate.

Submitted by Eric S on Sat, 07/30/2016 - 07:03 pm

Clearly the Cubs need to clear out the farm and trade for another closer Where's Ed Lynch when you need him?

Submitted by billybucks on Sat, 07/30/2016 - 07:26 pm

Wow -- Chapman gives up a hit and everything completely caves in. I think the Cubs went into collective shock. Stolen base with the pitcher holding the ball, WP that should have been caught or blocked, then Russell with a 2-out error on a routine play. Cubs handed them 2 runs. Throw in a Fowler bobble and it was a mess. Hopefully, that is all out of their system now -- let's get a W tomorrow.

"Diamondbacks designated RHP Josh Collmenter for assignment." aww...he was my 2nd favorite crapballer. his control issues are rather severe at the moment.

    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.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.
