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.

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be savored...unedited. 40 years, wow.

    Does he have any options left, Phil?
