Cubs @ Reds: Lester vs Adleman (Game 161)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Reds 7, Cubs 4
W: Adleman (4-4); L: Lester (19-5); S: Iglesias (6)PREVIEW
CHC (102-57): LHP Jon Lester (19-4, 2.28)  
CIN (66-92): RHP Tim Adleman (3-4, 3.90)
First pitch: 3:10pmCST

Lester rolled off another win on Sunday against the Cardinals, keeping them scoreless through 6.2. He last lost on July 3, that nasty game in Flushing. He’s 5-0 with an 0.48 in September--aka, finishing strong. He’s 2-0 with a 1.95 in his 4 starts against the Reds this year. Overall, they are 32-138 (.232) against him. Phillips is 8-24.

Adleman won in St. Louis in his last outing (7 IP, 2 ER, 4 K, 0 BB). He had a no-decision against the Cubs before that, giving up 2 ER in 6.1 innings. The Cubs are 5-22 (.227) against the rookie. Rizzo is 2-3; Contreras and Russell have HRs.

Hendricks (16-8, 1.99) and his sub-2.00 ERA versus Stephenson (2-3, 6.27) to close out the regular season (!) tomorrow at 2:10pmCST.

Go Cubs!

lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.

not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.

Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.

Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)

Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)

Giants: Bumgarner and Cueto

Dodgers: Kershaw and Hill (and Maeda has been a helluva a good third)

something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).

cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.

be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)

Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.

Submitted by Rob G. on Sat, 10/01/2016 - 10:37 pm

good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.

Friday's games will be in Washington, Chicago, Arlington, and Cleveland or Boston. Someone's game is starting laaaaaaaate - 50-50 chance it's the CDT Cubs.

Well, the AL Wild Card team will almost definitely be an east coast team unless the Mariners pull off a minor miracle. Meanwhile, the Cubs have a chance to be paired up against STL. I suspect one team or the other will have to start at 9 p.m. local time to accommodate the 4-game Friday TV schedule.

    25 games played with a -85 run differential.  insane.

    White Sox DFA Bailey Horn. I'm thinking the Cubs would love to get him back although they probably won't have a decent chance of claiming him without another swap.

    WSox also call up former Cub Rafael Ortega (and additionally Tommy Pham). They are hurting and having a gawd awful April.

    White Sox DFA'd Bailey Horn.

    He wasn't producing good results in Charlotte (AAA).

    But Jed might bring him back with that open 40man spot. Then try the "sneak him thru waivers" gambit.

    Oh my, now I will have nightmares of me sitting in the bowels of the Wrigley security detention cell.

    One more thing...

    One of the reasons I come to this site...

     ...in addition to Arizona Phil, who is, as we all know, a treasure trove of well-written fresh information, honest evaluation, and sneaky-subtle humor regarding the entire Cub organization...

    ... is CubbyBlue and Tim's fantastic and timely visual takes on the Cubs (to be fair, he does have a much broader Chicago-flavored brush well beyond the Cubs).  Thanks for so many memorable images.  I am fortunate to own (one of my prize possessions) a print that I framed (55/200) of "The Last Out" with KB's shit-eating grin as he fields the series winning out of the 2016 WS.

    Tim, will you visit me if I do the text security thingy and description: Tim S? Or will I find myself in a Cub detention cell.

    i.e. "or send a text message to 773-839-**** with the keyword "Friendly" and include your seat location and a description of your issue.

    Incredible moment. Huge part of the fun of working there is when something magic like that happens, and you get to interact with baseball fans. 

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    That bear hug was indeed awesome. Word is that Dansby has become an outstanding clubhouse leader and that moment really demonstrated it. That reaction was one of a proud coach/mentor who’s student just excelled. I’m not even sure who was more overjoyed, Dansby or PCA. A veteran expressing that kind of unabashed support and enthusiasm for a struggling rookie is beyond fantastic to see.

    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.
