Dodgers @ Cubs: Kershaw vs Hendricks (Game 172; NLCS Game 6)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Cubs 5, Dodgers 0
W: Hendricks (1-1); L: Kershaw (2-1)
Cubs defeat Dodgers 4-2; advance to World Series--hell yeah!PREVIEW
LAD (2-3): LHP Clayton Kershaw (2-0, 3.72)
CHC (3-2): RHP Kyle Hendricks (0-1, 3.00)
First pitch: 7:08pmCST

Hendricks lost his matchup against Kershaw in Game Two of the NLCS (5.1 IP, 1 ER, 5 K, 4).  He went 9-2 with a 1.32 at Wrigley during the season, including a June 2 game against the Dodgers when he went 8 innings and gave up 2 ERs. Overall, they are 8-41 (.195) against him. Turner is 2-7. Gonzalez has a HR in 5 ABs in the regular season. He also had a second-inning HR in Game Two.

Kershaw won Game Two of the NLCS, going 7 scoreless after his save of Game Five of the NLDS against the Nationals. In Game Two, Baez and Contreras had hits against him, and Rizzo had a walk--and that was it. For their careers, the Cubs are 32-133 (.241) against him. Bryant is 1-5 and Rizzo is 3-11, both with HRs. Fowler is the stud (18-44, .409).

Game Seven would be Hill versus Arrieta. There will be no Game Seven.

Go Cubs!

LEAVE NO DOUBT! KNOCK KERSHAW OUT! YA MAKE ME WANNA SCREAM AND SHOUT!

Schwarber potentially on WS roster legit? I still would be surprised if it actually happens, but I would love to see him on it. I assume that he would replace Coughlan or Rob Z (if Cubs decide to go back down to 11 pitchers, which wouldn't be surprising considering that Rob Z hasn't pitched in this series). But this doesn't matter yet. 1 more win against the Dodgers is still needed. While I wouldn't be surprised if Heyward starts tonight, but Almora is still great defensively and is right handed. Heyward vs Kershaw is pretty much a free out for Kershaw. Other than that, I expect the same or very similar lineup to game 4 against Urias. I would put Russell in the 7th spot though since he's hot and to avoid any intentional walk to face Hendricks. If it were me, I would put this lineup on the field tonight: Fowler-CF Bryant-3B Rizzo-1B Zobrist-LF Baez-2B Contreas-C Russell-SS Almora Jr-RF Hendricks-P All we need is 1-2 runs off Kershaw and a locked in Hendricks tonight. Any sort of jam, and Joe can pull him for a LHP to neutralize the Dodger lineup. I'm predicting Cubs 2, Dodgers 1. Both Cubs runs on a KB homer. He's due for one. For the Dodgers run, I'm predicting a Gonzalez RBI single, but he gets called out via replay trying to advance to 2nd on the throw to the plate to end the inning, lol. #FlyTheW

Also, if Pedro Baez pitches tonight, can he please be ejected for taking too long to pitch? Watching him pitch makes staying awake difficult. Maybe they can actually enforce the rule where you have to throw within 12 seconds (it's something like that I believe) when Baez is on the mound.

Anyone else using a Windows machine having an issue getting the site to load? The site administrator might have to clear the varnish cache and restart the service. It works fine from other operating systems like android and IOS 10.

This game should, barring the unforeseen (which of course can't be barred) be subject to a Game and Parachat Recap.

So I correctly predicted that Almora would be in the lineup tonight and correctly predicted the exact order, players, and positions. Hopefully I will be right about predicting a Cubs win tonight. One of my friends said prior to game 4 that the Cubs would light up Urias and they did, he said the same thing about Kershaw tonight. Hopefully he's right. Go Cubs Go! #FlyTheW

Really looking forward to checking out Cub catching prospect Victor Caratini's at-bats for the Mesa Solar Sox tonight. Hitting seventh and playing first tonight. Also some dude named Schwarber DHing batting 2nd.

    STL traded away a lot of minor league talent that went on to do nothing in the arenado + goldschmidt trades.  neither guy blocked any of their minor league talent in the pipeline, too.  that's ideal places to add talent.

    Natural cycle of baseball. Pitching makes adjustments in approach to counter a hot young rookie. Now it’s time for Busch and his coaches to counter those adjustments. Busch is very good and will figure it out, I think sooner than later.

    In 2020, the pandemic year and the year before they acquired Arenado, the Cardinals finished second and were a playoff team. Of the 12 batters with 100 plate appearances, 8 of them were home grown. Every member of the starting rotation (if you include Wainwright) and all but one of the significant relievers were home grown. While there have been a relative handful of very good trades interspersed which have been mentioned, player development had been their predominant pattern for decades - ever since I became an aware fan in the ‘70’s

    The Arenado deal was not a deal made out of dire need or desperation. It was a splashy, headline making deal for a perennial playoff team intended to be the one piece that brought the Cardinals from a very good team to a World Series contender. They have continued to wheel and deal and have been in a slide ever since. I stand by my supposition that that deal marked a notable turning point within the organization. They broke what had been a very successful formula for a very long time.

    busch is having a really intense k-filled mini slump.  he deserves better after coming back to wrigley after that hot road trip.

    i know alzolay isn't having a great time right now, but i trust hector "ball 4" neris even less than alzolay based on what i've seen coming out of their arms.

  • azbobbop (view)

    Neris reminds me of Don “Full Pack” Stanhouse.

  • Eric S (view)

    Happ, Busch, Dansby and Madrigal have a combined 25 runners left on base through 7 innings, with Busch accounting for 9 of those.  Seems like a lot.

    PCA finally gets a hit!  2r HR!!!

  • Charlie (view)

    They certainly could be coupled. It could also be the case that a team needs good players at the heart of the team and if they are not coming from one source (development) they have to be sought out elsewhere. I don't see the evidence needed to infer the cause.

    bases loaded for the cubs, 0 out...and no runs score.

    cubbery.
