Pirates @ Cubs: Vogelsong vs Hammel (Game 132)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Cubs 6, Pirates 5
W: Hammel (14-7); L: Vogelsong (3-4); S: Chapman (12)

PIT (67-63): RHP Ryan Vogelsong (3-3, 3.02)
CHC (84-47): RHP Jason Hammel (3.21, 13-7)
First pitch: 7:05pmCST

Hammel gets bumped ahead of Montgomery, who was supposed to start today, because of his short outing on Saturday in LA (2.1 IP, 3 ER, 1 K, 0 BB). He’s 2-0 with a 2.31 in his two starts against the Pirates this season. Overall, they are 46-173 (.266) against him. McCutchen is 12-36 with 3 HR.

Vogelsong won in Milwaukee his last time out (5.1 IP, 2 ER, 6 K, 4 BB). He’s 0-0 with a 2.70 in his two starts against the Cubs this season. Overall, the Cubs are 29-101 (.287) against him. Rizzo is 4-8 with 3 HRs.

The Shark (!) returns with the Giants to start a four-game set tomorrow at 7:05pmCST. Montgomery (4-5, 3.02) gets the start.

Go Cubs!

Down on the farm: "Dealin'" Cease with another good outing for Eugene. Last 4 outings: 16IP, 1ER 29K. But, 10BB. Throw strikes, kid. Candelario is killing it at Iowa after struggling at AA: .320/.406/.941 in 241AB. At age 22. Where the heck to put him next year? UPDATE: Candy goes 3-5 tonight. Now hitting .325. Also, Almora 4-5, which is nice to see.

this makes the most sense. the team could use a replacement in the pen when chapman leaves and bryant could fetch a nice pen arm...maybe...there's a bit of concern about bryant's poor hitting in clutch situations. bryant has served his purpose...time to move on and let the kids play. you're next russell.

So presuming he remains on the MLB Active List for the balance of the MLB regular season, Tommy LaStella will be at 2+102 MLB Service Time at the end of the season, far short of what he would have needed to accrue to have a chance at "Super Two" status post-2016. (Even if he had remained on the MLB Active List for the entire season and finished at 2+124 MLB Service Time, he still would have only been "on the bubble" for possible "Super Two" status post-2016).

The Twins lost their 47th game on June 17. That's all I got tonight. Go Cubs.

Twitter tells me more boo's than cheers for LaStella.

Sigh.

What was the reaction in Chapman's first game? I was there about a week later and it was all cheers.

Not that the situations are a one-to-one, but...damn, priorities 'Murica.

@CarrieMuskat 41s41 seconds ago Bryant is 1st #Cubs player to top 35 HRs since Aramis Ramirez hit 38 in 2006

surprised me, thought Soriano may have or Rizzo...maybe LaHair or Schierholtz too :)

he's attempting a comeback (or he's just very bored) and playing indie ball in the atlantic league...short-lived-cub brad snyder is also on his team. very boring numbers for a guy with his experience in indie ball, though not bad numbers...probably not enough to get him a minor league deal at his age (33)

    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.

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far.

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

    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.

    i have no hard data, but i'm seeing the same thing.

    there used to be some parks where that was rampant (colorado during the todd helton days comes to mind), but i'm seeing it all over the place the past couple seasons.

    I’ll spare the details which I’ve stated before but, in short, the Cardinals have lost their sight of their successful identity and strategy over last several dominant decades. From the beginning of the season I saw the Cardinals being in last place or near it again this year, and my prediction is that Mozeliak will be gone after the end of the season.

    I would have kept Cooper rather than Wisdom, but at least I can understand why they did it.  In a team that lacks dominant power hitters, Wisdom can be a dominant power hitter, at least in streaks.  I suppose that there is always the possibility that the streaks longer in both duration and frequency.  I will be content if they essentially make a 100 % DH commitment to Mervis against righties and Wisdom against lefties.  When a regular needs rest, give them total rest, rather than a DH rest.  Do this for at least 2 months, and then re-evaluate at that point.
