Cubs @ Dodgers: Montgomery vs Norris (Game 127)

Submitted by CTSteve on

The Cubs only need to win one from the Dodgers to have a winning road trip, but we'll settle for all three.CHC (81-45): LHP Mike Montgomery (4-5, 2.41)
LAD (72-56): RHP Bud Norris (6-10, 4.69)   
First pitch: 9:10pmCST

Montgomery, an area native, hit his pitch count after 4.1 innings and had to take a no-decision in Colorado in his first start with the Cubs. He gave up 1 ER (a solo HR to Hundley in the 5th), struck out 5, and walked 2. Reddick, the only Dodger to have faced him, is 1-2.

Norris has had a rough start as a Dodger. He went 3-2 with a 4.34, in July after being acquired from the Braves but got shelled in his last start, giving up 6 ER in 3.2 in Cincinnati. He’s appeared out of the bullpen since then and gave up an ER in less than an inning. The Cubs are 25-104 (.240) against him. Heyward is 3-10 with a HR.

Other notes: Lackey and Rondon are slated to throw bullpen sessions this weekend. And Carlos Ruiz, acquired from the Phillies for clubhouse favorite AJ Ellis, will make his Dodger debut.

The Cubs won 3 of the 4 games against the Dodgers at Wrigley in May-June.

Hammel looks to bounce back from his rocky start against the Rockies tomorrow at 3:05pmCST.

Go Cubs!

It's August 26. Cubs with 14 game lead. And not for #1 draft pick. Words I never thought I would type together.

last year they won 97...and came in 3rd in the division. crazy game on a year-to-year basis. this year it's likely no one else in the division will win 90, though it's technically possible at this point. no matter what, this is a special team, though...very well rounded...and should be mostly intact next year with a bonus schwarber. chapman may not be around, but whatever...rondon and crew are capable even if not on chapman's level.

I figured this was going to be the most meaningless regular season in Cubs history...and it is pretty much on point, although I certainly didn't think we'd have close to a 14 game lead. But, one bad hop in game 1 in October could change absolutely everything we will remember about this year.

If my math is correct, if the Cubs play .500 baseball for the rest of the season, they will finish with 99 wins. I only just confirmed through Baseball Reference that 97 wins last year (and 2008) were the most Cubs wins in my lifetime. I think that last year while Arrieta was pitching better than Cy F. Young I didn't really get or appreciate what he was doing. I'm trying to try to grasp in the moment just how fucking remarkable this season is.

First year I'm not going to a Cubs/Dodgers game in a long time. 4 month old baby kinda changes plans around. But the no-hitter I was at last year can last in the memory banks for awhile. I think Dodger Dogs are awful. I love hot dogs, but those are crap.

think I have to miss this series too (also was at the Arrieta game last year). But in my case, just had a busy weekend with work and kids have a bunch of activities and we made it to Opening Day in Anaheim and a couple of games in Wrigley this year which we normally don't get too...so not feeling like I'm missing out this year.

Submitted by blockhead25 on Fri, 08/26/2016 - 08:02 pm

We may have a chance to catch one in October. Although hell, I couldn't deal with my co-workers if we lose to them.

Seager with the two out double *cough* to left field in the bottom of the fourth. If Soler just plays that bunny hop off his nuts, it's a single - certainly no double.

carlos ruiz is still coming up to "in the air tonight" by phil 'are you kidding me' collins in LA. many years ago before phil collins it was a soulja boy song. dude has odd taste in music. at least it's not yanni...i guess.

    BAHAHA! I've actually not seen a single fight, but can't wait to see 70 degrees for sure!

  • crunch (view)

    next time i roll up into wrigley i'll try to start a fist fight and maybe we'll meet.

    be prepared.  i'm gonna make you earn your money.

    seriously, though...that's a cool as hell "retirement" assignment.  i imagine it will be better with warmer nights.

    I was there for the PCA homer as well. 50 degree baseball is no longer fun when sitting in the shade (knit hats, scarves and gloves are football gear) but I agree it’s one of those really cool moments. I loved the bear hug given by Swanson at home plate and of course the added impact that the PCA homer became a game winner.

    Holy Screaming Bananas

    In honor of dispatching with the Astros, this painting is titled “The Sweep”. 
    I retired a couple years ago, and took a job at Wrigley as a security guy. SO cool having Wrigley as your office. SO cool being there when PCA got his first hit. 
    “The Sweep” happens at the end of every game - the security staff sweeps through the ballpark making sure it’s empty.
    (Hopefully I’ll be putting this painting up often this year.)
    Lastly, because working for the Cubs, they understandably don’t want you voicing opinions on social, which is why I’m only painting the banners here.

    Honorable mention to Jim Bullinger via BleedCubbieBlue: 

    Bullinger, a converted shortstop, had pitched in three games before he came to the plate. He had entered the game to relieve starter Shawn Boskie after four innings, and came to the plate to lead off the fifth, and hit Rheal Cormier's first pitch over the left-field wall to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead; they eventually won the game 5-2 in 14 innings. Of the 129players to homer in their first MLB at-bat, Bullinger is one of just 32 to hit that blast on the first big-league pitch he saw (including Contreras) and one of just six pitchers to do so.

    Most of this activity will lead nowhere, of course, but it is fantastic that they’re looking for talent in every nook and cranny. You never know where that can lead, and virtually nothing is lost if if leads nowhere, as long as no one of superior talent and potential is losing an opportunity.

    Childersb3: Miguel Cruz walked six in 1.2 IP in his last start, so I guess he is improving. Wilme Mora also walked six in one of his appearances a week or two ago, and one or two others have walked five. I don't know what would be the most I have ever seen a pitcher throw in a game out here, because the manager / pitching coach usually gets the pitcher out of the game if it gets too ridiculous. 

    As for the attendance, probably about 20 of the 25 were early arrivals for the Savannah Bananas game who came over to Field # 1 to see what was going on, and once they saw all the bases on balls (12 walks by Cubs pitchers and four by Angels pitchers) they ran away screaming. I'm used to it so it didn't bother me that much.

    Jed has added Teheran, Tyranski, Kissaki, and now Straily and Nico Zeglin today.

    Zeglin is 24 yrs old. Pitched well at Long Beach St in '23 and well in some Indy Ball.

    They also added Reilly and Viets in late ST.

    Have to search for MiLB arm depth anywhere you can and at all times!!!
