Cubs @ Nationals: Arrieta vs Scherzer (Game 77)

CHC (39-37): RHP Jake Arrieta (7-5, 4.36) 
WAS (45-31): RHP Max Scherzer (8-5, 2.09)
First pitch: 6:05pmCST

Arrieta beat the Marlins on Thursday (7 IP, 1 ER, 3 K, 0 BB). Overall, the Nationals are 26-115 (.226) against him. Harper is 4-12.

Scherzer gave up 2 runs over 8 innings and managed to lose to the Marlins his last time out. He would have more wins, if the Nats bats weren’t so stingy when he’s on the mound. The team is averaging almost 5.6 runs per game, but are only scoring an average of 3.8 for him. Sorry, Max.

The Cubs are 18-75 (.240) against him. LaStella is 2-3, Russell is 2-5, and Rizzo is 3-8—all with HRs.

Lackey (5-8) versus Strasburg (8-2) tomorrow at the same time.

Go Cubs!

it seems maddon really likes candelario. he got a lot of starts his last call-up and it seems we're right back on it.

something something cubs pitchers blah blah 1st inning runs blah blah blah at least the cubs got a 1st inning run, too.

RIP cubs bullpen might have to get a callup if tomorrow goes a lot like the past 2 games...hell, maybe after this game.

f.pena with a 2nd round of abuse this season. hopefully he bounces back better than last time when returned to AAA (if returned). dude's willing to do what's called on him to do. if there's something maddon likes about him as a possible long man, maybe he'll get a chance to do it in the minors getting ready for an expanded role later. he was a part-time starter through 2015...not new territory.

Well, didn't really expect to beat Scherzer on the road, but...yuck. Walks, errors, infield hits and lots and lots of stolen bases. Flush it and move on.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
