Cubs @ Pirates: Montgomery vs Kuhl (Game 50)

Submitted by CTSteve on

CHC (27-22): RHP Mike Montgomery (0-1, 5.33)
PIT (28-24): RHP Chad Kuhl (4-2, 4.20)
First pitch: 12:35pmCST

Montgomery was tagged with 6 ER in 2.1 innings against the Indians on Tuesday. Not good, Mike! This will be his first start of the season.

Overall, these Pirates are 14-45 (.311) against him. Cervelli is 2-2 and Mercer is 4-8, both with a HR.

Kuhl had a no-decision in Cincinatti his last time out (6 IP, 1 ER). The Cubs are 32-86 (.372)  against him. Zobrist is 5-9 with 2 HR.

Darvish is due for an MRI on his right triceps, and Happ was sidelined with a gimpy shoulder. Evidently, he was available to pinch hit last night. Instead, he got to watch Panda play 2B and Chatwood pitch, whichever is more ridiculous. 

Lester (4-2) and Nova (2-5) go tomorrow at 6:05pmCST--speaking of which, thanks for the quick turnaround time, Pirates.

Go Cubs!

Perhaps Chatwood could somehow find that elusive strike zone while pitching for the Orioles. Monty currently dealing thru two innings. 

Monty's day done after 5.2 innings on 76 pitches - was perfect thru four innings. Allowed 2 hits, 0 runs, no walks, and 5 Ks. Hit his spots with precision and effectively changed speeds. Basically the exact opposite of Chatwood in every sense. And while Chatwood has received a ton of run support, only makes sense that Monty would get one run to work with.

5.2ip 2h 0bb 5k, 0 r/er...76 pitches

damn monty.

they might throw him one more time just to see if he has it in him...and chatwood better watch out. i dunno if they're ready to toss chatwood to the pen, though. also, it's not like monty was tearing things up outside of today's spot start.

Gimenez told Jesse Rogers that he was Monty's personal catcher for a year in the minors while with TB. They looked in synch.  Could caddie both Monty and Yu - assuming Darvish's arm doesn't detach during the MRI.

Justin Wilson with a drama free 1-2-3 inning? With a three run lead in a high leverage inning? Wth!

ooo rizzo...bro...legal, allegedly...but damn, dude.

they're going to review that contact play.  maddon is pissed they're even reviewing it.

cubs are 6 games over .500...sweet.

STL currently losing to MIL...cubs could narrowly move into 2nd place today if STL loses.

Looks like Montgomery will get another start for #Cubs. Maddon: "We'll find out the Darvish situation but there's a chance [Montgomery] will pitch next turn"

    Things I've been wrong about:

    -Tauchman is fine as a 4th OF. I knew that. I just want a better LH DH option and he was really the DH for us until Seiya got hurt. I'm glad Mervis is getting a chance at it. Caissie is coming for that job for sure. But Tauchman continues to be highly useful as a 4th OF with Seiya being hurt

    -I wanted Yency to go to get guys at Iowa a chance. Guys like Palencia and Sanders or RileyT. Maybe even Hodge! But Yency has been better the last two plus weeks. He did hit 96 the other day. He was 93 in Texas to open the season.

    -Leiter has his split working enough. It just needs to stay there

    -I was surprised Jed picked Wisdom over Cooper. I wonder if this happens if Seiya wasn't hurt. Wisdom has more power. Cooper is the better hitter. Jed picked Wisdom and Wisdom had an option left as well.

    -Palencia just doesn't miss enough bats. Similar to ManRod, just two yrs younger. ManRod is killing AAA for TB right now!

    Things I got right so far:

    -Hendricks. Sorry Kyle. You got paid though!

    Jed, you missed there.

    -Smyly. If Jed could've traded him before or during ST, then he should have and saved some cash.

    -Mastro.  Not a LH DH. Pinch runner. Defensive utility. Maybe he's better than Madrigal but didn't get a legit chance to prove it.

    -Luke Little is good. He's had one bad outing. That's it. Needs to get better entering with guys on base. But he needs to stay in MLB.

    -Oh yeah....Morel is doing fine at 3B! He'll get better as well!!

    bellinger "right rib contusion"

  • Childersb3 (view)

    South Bend just lost the lead in the bottom of the 9th on the weirdest scenario, ever.

    It's absolutely pouring rain....men on 1st and 2nd, 1out....JPatterson asks for a new ball, but no time out was called....he throws the old ball toward the dugout (not sure if it rolled out of play).....the ump declares the runners get two bases each so one run scores. Then a single up the middle ties the game.

    The rain was coming down in buckets at this point.

    Just weird

  • crunch (view)

    ...and bellinger is gone in the 7th because of that 2nd blown chance and the wall he bounced off of...

    hopefully his rib cage/shoulder feels better tomorrow, we just got happ back.

    Phil,

    Any thoughts on Y. Rojas' stuff and Y. Melendez's game (I believe I've asked about him before, sorry)?

  • crunch (view)

    wow, things are moving fast.  hopefully it continues.

  • crunch (view)

    morel with 4 clean plays in 4 innings...showed off his 100000000mph arm a couple times.

    cody bellinger not having a good 4th, though...5 run leads are handy when your CF is making your pitcher have a 5-out inning.  2nd blown chance was ruled a hit even though it went in/out of his glove...1st was lost in the lights, also ruled a hit.

  • crunch (view)

    welcome back happ!  double off the wall 1st PA back.

    oh yeah, totally, i was just chiming about why i fan like i fan.

    i would like nothing more than hendricks to keep on hendricks'ing.  guys with his stuff can throw for a long, long time as long as it works.

    he velocity is actually up a minor amount this year.  it's really "damn" when a guy like him not only has gas in the tank, but it's looking like it was years ago.  he added a curve a few years ago and it helped a little bit, but he's throwing it less and less while the fb/change combo are less effective.

    CRUNCH—There is no one person in this community I’m talking about.  My remarks were not directed at you or anyone, but at a tone I’ve noticed lately. 

    You have a great, dry sense of humor and there is thought behind your comments.   You and I don’t always agree but I always understand your position.  

    Lastly, and I’ll be quiet, I agree with you on Hendricks.  We can dislike the recent performance but still love the guy.  Lots of questions about his future.
