Cubs @ Reds: Montgomery vs Wojciechowski (Game 125)

Submitted by CTSteve on

CHC (67-57): LHP Mike Montgomery (3-6, 3.64)    
CIN (53–73): RHP Asher Wojciechowski (3-2, 5.36) 
First pitch: 6:10pmCST

Montgomery pitched 4.1 of scoreless ball in relief of Lester against the Reds his last time out, letting the Cubs climb back into the game till the bullpen couldn’t hold it. He’s 2-4 with a 3.60 on the road this season, which closely matches what he’s done at Wrigley. 

In 5 appearances against the Reds this season, he’s 0-1 with a 5.51 ERA. Overall, the Reds are 19-67 (.284) against him. Duvall is 3-7 with a HR.

Wojciechowski lost to the Cubs at Wrigley on the 14th (3.2 IP, 7 ER, 5 K, 0 BB). In between, he pitched two innings in relief against in Atlanta, giving up 2 ER. He’s 3-1 with a 3.41 at home this season. The Cubs are 11-21 (.524) against him. Jay is 3-3, and Rizzo is 2-3 with a HR.

Bryant has a contusion on his left wrist after getting hit last night. He's unlikely to play today and will be day-to-day. There's no word on if Maddon is going to let Rizzo start over LaStella at 3B. Anything is possible.

Arrieta (13-8) and Romano (3-5) end the series tomorrow at the same time.

Go Cubs!

Jesse Rodgers reporting that Contreras is doing pre-game sprints, push ups, shuttle drills with Tim Buss in the outfield. Russell running full speed in the outfield. Both took batting practice. Willson also caught Arrieta on the side.

this game is f'n awesome. heyward is feasting off this crappy reds pitching recently (played series @wrigley last week), and by feasting i mean a bunch of shallow singles to RF piercing the infield. his 2 hits in the game (so far) brings him back up over .320 ob% after he was flirting with sub-.300 ob% for a stretch of early august.

Hey fellas. Almost recovered from my World Series hangover. Have they lost a game yet this season?

Hector Rondon was throwing 100 MPH Tuesday night (when  he got one out in relief of Duensing) and he was at 98-99 for the first part of the 9th last night before giving up the last two HR on 97 MPH belt-high FBs, so there is nothing wrong with his velocity. The first HR allowed was off a 92 MPH "slider" that didn't break and other sliders he threw bounced, so when the other team's hitters know you are going to have to throw a strike with your fastball, high-octane gas doesn't help a lot if you can't sustain 99+. Rondon has to rediscover his slider or else he will continue to get hit. 

The thing about relievers, though, is that their command and stuff can fluctuate wildly from year-to-year, and so it's entirely possible that Rondon and/or Grimm could be light's out next season. Or not. 

But they are both bullpen arsonists right now.

    AZ Phil:
    Rookie ball (ACL) starts on May 4th. Do yo think Ramon and Rosario (maybe Delgado) stay in Mesa for the month of May, then go to MB if all goes "solid"?

    masterboney is a luxury on a team that has multiple, capable options for 2nd, SS, and 3rd without him around.  i don't hate the guy, but if madrigal is sticking around then masterboney is expendable.

    I THINK I agree with that decision. They committed to Wicks as a starter and, while he hasn’t been stellar I don’t think he’s been bad enough to undo that commitment.

    That said, Wesneski’s performance last night dictates he be the next righty up.

    Quite the dilemma. They have many good options, particularly in relief, but not many great ones. And complicating the situation is that the pitchers being paid the most are by and large performing the worst - or in Taillon’s case, at least to this point, not at all.

    Wesneski and Mastrobuoni to Iowa

    Taillon and Wisdom up

    Wesneski can't pitch for a couple of days after the 4 IP from last night. But Jed picked Wicks over Wesneski.

    booooooooooo

    also, wisdom and taillon are both in chicago.

    Tonight’s game postponed. Split games on Saturday.

    cubs getting crazy good at not having player moves leak.

    taillon we 100% know is pitching tonight.  who he's replacing and any additional moves are unknown as far as i can tell.

    p.wisdom was not in today's lineup in iowa (rained out) and he was removed from the game last night mid-game, but not for injury.  good bet he's with the team in the bigs, too.

    A good rule of thumb is that if you trade a near-ready high ceiling prospect, you should get at least two far-away high ceiling prospects in return.  Like all rules-of-thumb, it depends upon the specific circumstances, but certainly, we weren't going to get Busch for either prospect alone.

    Right on schedule, just read an article in Baseball America entitled "10 MLB Prospects Outside The Top 100 Who Have Our Attention".  Zyhir Hope was one of the prospects featured. It stated that he's "one of the biggest arrow-up sleeper prospects in the lower levels right now."

     

    Not sharing to be negative about the trade, getting a top 100 prospect who is MLB ready should carry a heavy prospect cost.  But man, Dodger sure are good at identifying and developing young talent. Andrew Friedman seems to have successfully merged Ray's development with Yankees financial might to create a juggernaut of an organization.

    I suspect Brown will spend some time in the bullpen due to inning restrictions.  Pitched only 93 innings last year and career high is 104 innings in 2022.  I would expect them to be cautious with a young player with his injury history.
