Pirates @ Cubs: Vogelsong vs Hammel (Game 132)

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!

Comments

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)

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

  • crunch (view)

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it

    alzolay...bro...

  • crunch (view)

    wow.  what a blown call.  go cubs, i guess.

    neris is good for 70-ish appearances and having him throw 89-91mph fastballs was something i was not looking forward to for 70-ish games.

    his splitter today was ranging 82-83mph...also a bit faster than spring performances.
