Dodgers @ Cubs: Darvish vs Hendricks (NLCS Game 3)

Submitted by CTSteve on

LAD (2-0): RHP Yu Darvish
CHC (0-2): RHP Kyle Hendricks
First pitch: 8:00pmCST (TBS)

Thankfully, we’re back at Wrigley. Hendricks went 3-2 with a 2.83 at home this year. He missed the Dodgers, but he went 1-1 with a 0.71 ERA against them in the NLCS last year. Overall they are 7-37 (.189) against him. Turner is 2-7 with a HR.

Hendricks gave up 4 ER in 4 innings in the craziness that was Game Five of the NLDS. So far this post-season, he’s 1-0 with a 3.27.

Darvish (10-12, 3.86 for the season) was acquired by LA at the trade deadline to pitch in a game like this one. He picked up the win in Game Three of the sweep of the Diamondbacks in the NLDS, giving up 1 ER in 5 innings. After the All-star break, he went very mediocre 4-4 with a 4.50, so there’s that.

For their careers, the Cubs are 8-41 (.195) against him. Rizzo is 1-2 with a couple RBI. 

Go Cubs!

Asking for a friend: has a playoff team ever had two players in the 1-2 slots with worse batting averages than Zobrist (.232) and Scwharber (.211)? I said I couldn't think of one.

I don't think Rizz is respected at the moment. Ice cold in this series...

The formula is simple: hit home run to take early lead, get squashed from there. Done, done and done.

Zobrist, .000; Rizz .000; Contreras .200 Dodgers did their homework with advance scouting and their pitchers are executng. Should this trend continue, they are obviously the better team and deserve the Series.

Cubs just need a normal rally: IBB, dropped 3rd strike thrown into RF, C interference, HBP. Something along those lines. Otherwise -- not looking too good. Dodgers seem to have it goin' on. Dodgers acquired Yu Darvish. Cubs got Justin Wilson. I got a rock.

okay...that yu darvish walk just broke my will to care. this season has 'jumped the shark' for me. give me a reason to care, cubbies.

The next time someone says how valuable post-season experience is, just say "Carl Edwards" and walk away. Wonder how many times pitcher has been walked ON FOUR PITCHES with the bases loaded in the post-season.

Assuming they don't re-sign Davis, because Theo doesn't do that -- they basically have an empty bullpen to start next year. That was Little League stuff. - "Just throw it over the plate, Jimmy!" - "I can't." My god.

Once you detach yourself from it, the pure cubbery going on tonight is sorta spellbinding - "ooh, that didn't really just happen, did it?"

Submitted by billybucks on Wed, 10/18/2017 - 10:52 am

They just look completely out of gas. They can't hit the ball, catch it or throw it. Complete and total failure in all aspects of the game. It's like an old car where something different gives out every day. Normally when this happens, the manager gets some heat. I expect Joe back next year, but it will be interesting to see what happens after next year, when I believe he will only have one year left this deal. But, in the final analysis, it's a simple game: the Dodger pitchers were better than the Cubs hitters. Not just this series, but every time they played this year.

    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.
