Cardinals @ Cubs: Wacha vs Quintana (Game 97)

Submitted by CTSteve on

STL (47-50): RHP Michael Wacha (7-3, 3.71) 
CHC (50-46): LHP Jose Quintana (5-8, 4.20) 
First pitch: 7:05pmCST

Quintana was outstanding in his debut for the Northsiders, throwing 7 innings of shutout ball and striking out 12 in Baltimore. These Cardinals are 7-22 (.304) against him. Fowler is 4-8.Wacha got lit up in his start against the Cubs at Wrigley in June (4.1 IP, 6 ER, 5 K, 4 BB). He’s 1-2 with a 5.13 in 6 games on the road this season. Overall, the Cubs are 32-94 (.340) against him. Rizzo is 15-31 with 3 HR, Bryant is 6-19 with a HR, and Happ is 2-3 (both HRs). Cool.

Hendricks (4-3) will be activated to go tomorrow against Gonzalez (4-9) and the White Sox at 1:20pmCST.

Go Cubs!

Phillies leading the Brewers 6-2 in the top of the 6th... edit: Phils win 6-3... Cubs can tie for first place with a win tonight!

Quintana was superb last time out, and the Cards haven't seen him much. Wacha is bad on the road this year and the Cubs have pummeled him. Cubs can tie for 1st place with a win tonight. This game has fucking debacle written all over it.

I think the Cubs may be interested Chirinos. It's not worth paying for Lucroy to in theory catch 1 or 2 games a week. Chirinos is good for next year also if they feel Caratini may not even be the answer as a back-up. I wouldn't pay much for a back-up catcher.

I'm not so sure we should go after a RH hitting catcher, even Lucroy. It'd be nice to be able to trade for a LH hitting catcher to use to spell Contreras against an occasional RHSP that he doesn't match up well against. Contreras actually has decent splits, so in the end it may not matter that much as long as we get someone with some good game calling and defensive skills for the postseason. That's why it's even more upsetting that Montero had his meltdown, because despite his D being a big handicap, his bat and OBP were doing great for a guy who plays one out of five games.

FUCK YOU JOE! YOU KEEP PITCHING TO RANDALL GRICHUK. How many HRs does he need to hit in a row you stubborn manager?????

Submitted by crunch on Sun, 07/23/2017 - 07:22 pm

schwarber allegedly tied the game with a HR. it's allegedly because i don't think it's landed yet.

Q with no feel/command of his curveball all night. Pretty impressive that he's made it this far in the game basically relying on just his fastball.

contrerYES cubs lead by 2. unf.

Submitted by crunch on Sun, 07/23/2017 - 07:38 pm

cj edwards looks lost with sketchy control over his curve to pham...walks next batter... cj edwards tightly commands his curve in a nearly all-curve offering to fowler...strikeout 2017 edwards is a bit weird sometimes.

1st place! shared, but whatever. hell of a week (4.5 out of 1st last sunday, 5.5 out last saturday).

Isn't it about decision time on Brett Anderson? The Cubs pretty much have to make a move of some sort soon, no? With SPs dropping left and right, and everyone in the AL thinking they're still "in it".

TIM: Probably, but not necessarily.

Per the new CBA, a player who has spent at least 60 days on an MLB DL may have his Article XIX-C Minor League Rehab Assignment renewed once (an additional 30 days for a pitcher and an additional 21 days for a position player). The MLB Commissioner must approve a second Minor League Rehab Assignment if the player is not reinstated after the conclusion of the first one.

The only player I know of who had his rehab assignment renewed after the first one expired is Giants OF Jarrett Parker (broken clavicle), but there may be others.

Whether the Cubs would be able to convince the Commissioner that Brett Anderson should get another 30-day rehab assignment after the first one expires tomorrow (Tuesday) is open to question, since he appears to be fully recovered from his sick ERA "lower back strain."

And even if the MLB Commissioner were to grant a renewal (which I suspect is unlikely), Anderson could decline it and force the Cubs hand since he has multiple performance bonuses in his contract related to MLB Games Started.

So there is a chance that Anderson could get a rehab renewal...

Thanks PHIL. I am too lazy to look this up, but if he is not an answer for "long relief" and can't replace "Home Run Grimm", on the roster until September, its time for the team to say, "Was worth a shot..." and send him packing.

That was probably the biggest game for Q in at least 4 years -- Cubs-Cards, night game at Wrigley, first place on the line, Sunday Night Baseball. Sox finished 3 games out in 2012, but have had losing seasons the past 4 years. Just wondering -- how the hell of you have 4 straight losing seasons with Sale and Quintana in your rotation?

I'm back to being excited about each game! Now, if we could get Javy Baez to stop popping sunflower seeds while he's in the batter's box....

    Very well played game all around tonight.

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

    This was Jaxon Wiggins previous "live" BP on 4/5: 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING (20 pitches - 10 strikes) 
    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis) 
    one HBP (B. Davis)
    two strikeouts (Peralta & Escobar - both looking)
    three swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    four called strikes
    nine called balls

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS: 
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS: 
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP
