Cubs @ Marlins: Montgomery vs Volquez (Game 75)

Submitted by CTSteve on

CHC (38-36): LHP Mike Montgomery (1-3, 2.26) 
MIA (34-39): RHP Edinson Volquez (3-8, 4.19) 
First pitch: 12:10pmCST

Montgomery kept the Padres off the board for 6 innings for the win on Tuesday. He pitched 3.1 scoreless innings out of the pen backing up Butler on June 5 against the Marlins, for his second save of the season. Overall, they are 3-12 (.250) against him. Ozuna, Riddle, and Ichiro have the hits.

Volquez was the unexpected hurler of the season’s first no-hitter, which he did on June 3 against the high-scoring Arizona bats. He’s had three games since then and has been roughed up in the last two of them, giving up 10 ER in 8.2 total innings. 

The Cubs are 22-84 (.262) against him. Rizzo, who is probably slated to lead off again after being rested yesterday, is 4-10.

After the game, it’s off to Washington for the real test. Tomorrow is Butler (3-2) and Gonzalez (7-1) at 6:05pmCST. We’ll also see Scherzer, Strasburg, and Ross. 

Go Cubs!

Assuming Monty is done after 6: last 4 starts = 21 innings, 4ER. An error and bad luck in the first has him down 3-2. I think this was what the Cubs were thinking when they got him.

Win Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Lose Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. The 2017 Cubs in a nutshell. Sheesh. Hopefully, they can carry that into Washington, where a split would be a hell of a good outcome, considering the Cubs face both Scherzer and Strasburg.

tebow moves to high A ball to help make the owners more money on ticket/merch sales in a fresh market or to see if he's ready to keep moving through the system...whatever you want to believe. .222/.311/.340 3hr, 14 doubles, 69K in 241PA with 7 errors in LF in 43 games. he turns 30 in mid-august.

I wanted to post about that... glad you brought it up Crunch! Those were exactly my thoughts when I read about it this morning. The well has run dry in Columbia, so move him up a level to squeeze every dollar out of the next market, and now in Florida (management will make a killing). I wonder how the kids he plays with feel about that? I don't know a damn thing about the Mets farm system, but there's got to be a kid who's more deserving of a promotion who actually some day might break into the big leagues. And if not, what does that say about the talent in their farm system. And how will that impact the kids who've been busting their asses chasing their dream when they finally do move up through the system and some day reach free agency? See you later Mets... maybe your boy Tebow can replace me. Oh yeah he's still in AA praying to hit above .220. Also, despite all his bad offensive numbers, let's not overlook his .879 fielding percentage in the outfield.

in today's game, ichiro became the oldest player to start a game in CF. neat. ---- Manager Don Mattingly had no idea of the feat when he penciled Ichiro's name on the lineup card. "Seriously?" Mattingly said. "I thought about it though in the first: 'We have a 40-something out there in center.' But he doesn't play like that. He runs good, throws good, so it didn't feel like that." http://m.mlb.com/news/article/238685758/ichiro-suzuki-oldest-to-start-i…

Jesse Rogers saying the Candy man is getting a callup. I would imagine if Addy cant go atleast as a bench guy tomorrow (honestly if the shoulder has been bothering him for the whole year why not try a DL stint) that Chesny Young (not in the Iowa line up on Sunday) or Elliot Soto would also be called up to back up Javy since there are no other players on the roster who can ideally play SS (i think KB had an inning or 2 there last year in a blow out).

    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!!!

    25 in Attendance!!!

    Phil, is that a backfield record?

    Also, 6 BBs for Cruz in 2 IP. What's the most walks you've seen in one EXT ST outing that you can recall?

    He has a pulse. Apparently that’s the only requirement at this point.

    cubs sign dan straily...for some reason.  minor league deal.

    welcome back.

    zac rosscup is down in mexico trying to make it happen...maybe they could throw him a contract, too.  junior lake is his teammate.  shore up a bunch of holes with some washups.

    The great thing about going to live sports events is you don't know if you're going to see something historic. Today I went to the Cub game, after putting the liner back in my coat and fishing my Cubs knit hat out of the closet. I needed all that- my seats are in the upper deck, left, so the east wind was in my face. Both teams failed to capitalize on good situations, but both starters did a good job to accomplish this. So, we go to the bottom of the sixth inning. The Cubs tie it up, and then Pete Crow-Armstrong comes up. We all know he would still be in AAA if not for injuries, and future Hall-of-Famer Justin Verlander absolutely carved up the young fellow up in his first two plate appearances. So this time he hits a fly ball. The wind was blowing in and had suppressed several strong fly balls- including a rocket off Altuve's bat that Canario hauled in (does anybody else remind me of Jorge Soler?) , but the ball kept carrying and carrying. 107mph, legit angle and carry. The crowd went nuts, the dugout went nuts. Maybe, just maybe, I saw the first homer from a long-term Cub.

    Which was my original premise. They won the trades but lost their souls. They no longer employ the Cardinal way which had been so successful for so long.

    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.
