Cubs @ Cardinals: Hammel vs. Martinez (Game 74 Thread)

Hammel was stellar against the Dodgers on Tuesday, keeping LA off the board for 7.2 in the game the Cubs won on Denorfia’s walk-off sac fly in the 10th. Hammel last pitched against St. Louis last May, giving up 5 ER in 5.1 and taking the loss. The Cards are 31-89 (.348) against him. Heyward is 8-14, and Peralta is 8-20 with 2 HR.

Martinez has a couple of rough outings in May, including one against the Cubs (3.2 IP, 7 ER, 9 H, 4 BB) but has otherwise been good. He gave up 3 ER (including a 2-run bomb to Stanton) in 7 innings in Miami for the win his last time out. The Cubs are 12-37 against him. Denorfia is 3-3, Montero is 2-4, Rizzo’s one hit in 5 ABs is a HR.

Tonight is the return of Neil Ramirez, who hasn’t pitched since April 15 (right shoulder inflammation). He went 3-3 with a 1.44 in 50 games last year for the Cubs. And Soler will start his rehab assignment this week and be back before the All-star Break.

The matchups for the series with the Mets look like: Hendricks (2-4, 4.46) vs. Niese (3-7, 412), Lester (4-6, 4.43) vs. Colon (9-6, 4.89), and Arrieta (7-5, 2.94) vs. DeGrom (8-5, 2.15).

Go Cubs!

Grrrr, no recapping tonight, as mlb.tv feed is blocked out on the silly presumption that I can watch it over cable.  Heh.

 

Guess I'll listen to Pat and Ron...  Shame, I'd love to see Martinez vs. Bryant, Rizzo...

rain delay...meeeeeeeeeeh. no rain yet, expected to rain in about 25-30 minutes...not expected to last too long.

Ian Happ, solo HR for the Emeralds. Schwarber caught, went 1-3 and a walk Olt 2-4 including a double and now another rain delay in Stl, no score bottom 2nd. Hopefully won't last long enough to mess with Hammel; ESPN goes to the Orioles vs Tribe

I don't mind the Cubs getting swept by the Cardinals now and again, and always expect to turn the tables on them somewhere down the road--but why do people like to refer to an historic rivalry between these two teams? Can a rivalry be something that is felt on one side only? From the point of view of the Cardinals--the second most successful franchise in ML history after the Yankees--and their fans, when have the Cubs been other than just another team--and a bumbling one, at that?

cards fans have been making that point for many years. they don't even get hyped up when the cubs are actual competitors. sosa vs mcgwire was rather harmonious between themselves and fans. it doesn't have to be all static when rivals meet, but there should be a sense of importance of winning besides the overall w/l record. for all intents and purposes, especially in the new schedule era, the cubs biggest rivalry is the wsox. people still care about that one even if the wsox are on the ropes currently.

2300+ games. All time record is Cubs 1191, Cards 1143. They made the point on the broadcast last night that they would expect the Cards to have the all time lead. I would have expected that as well, by more than a fair margin. I guess it depends on what you consider a historic rivalry. The Cards have been so much better recently, it doesn't seem like much of one for recent history. But history goes back a ways.

Cubs/Cards has been the same as Bears/Packers for quite some time. They know they are better, we know they are better, and they win almost every time -- and yet it is always referred to as an "historic rivalry". Really sucks. Very rough series for Addison -- hope he can bounce back. Maybe he learned something about how good pitchers attack inexperienced hitters with RISP.

KC down to 5 AS reps in the vote for position players (from 7, then 6 after the "vote adjustment" throwing out millions of votes) o.infante and his .237/.243/.320 slash is still leading 2nd base voting...because lol.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis) 
    one HBP (B. Davis)
    two strikeouts (Peralta & Escobar - both looking)
    three swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    four called strikes

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS: 
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS: 
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP

    wall stole a HR from busch...double.  nice to see him destroy a curve ball.

    upon further viewing, that might not have been a homer in too many parks...it had a lot of hang time, though.

    I’m at the game—woot!

    If the streak breaks, it’s not my fault.
