White Sox @ Cubs: Quintana vs. Arrieta (Game 87 Thread)

Submitted by CTSteve on

CHW (41-44): LHP Jose Quintana (4-8, 3.69)

CHC (46-40): RHP Jake Arrieta (9-5, 2.80)

Arrieta beat the Cards (6.2 IP, 2 ER) in his last outing for his second straight win. He is 5-1 with a 2.28 in 7 starts since June 4. The Sox are 13-42 (.310) against him. Ramirez is 5-10; Cabrera has a HR. If he wins, Arrieta will be the first Cubs pitcher to win 10 games before the ASB since Zambrano and Dempster did it in 2008.

Quintana lost against Toronto and the Chicago offense at the Cell on Tuesday (8 IP, 2 ER, 8 Ks, 0 BBs). He is 3-4 with a 4.05 on the road. The Cubs are 3-26 (.115) against him. Teagarden (?) is 2-4 with a HR.

The last time the Cubs won 40 or more games before the break was also in 2008, when they were on their way to 97--whoa! Does anybody remember laughter?

Go Cubs!

arrieta no hitter through 3ip! let's make it interesting...he gets 8.1ip of no hit ball before he's removed over an excessive pitch count. let's go into the break with some needless controversy! wonder how much it's gonna cost to lock arrieta up. at least the cubs have the option to just pay a premium for 1 season if they're not sure about him or his demands are too high.

rizzo HBP for the 19th time. if he's gonna get hit 35+ times a year eventually he's going to fuck up his hands/elbow/wrist hanging his body over the plate so much. it's not like most of his HBP involve taking one in the back. i keep crossing my fingers it doesn't happen.

Thank you Jake - we needed all of that! Mets win again, but post-break they have 10 against the Cards, Nats and Dodgers -- basically, the schedule we already played... Rest up, boys, and come out strong after the break.

47-40 going into the break...all the pitching the team is relying on for a post-season run is healthy (assuming hammel is healthy as they say)...the bats are weak right now, but there's plenty of reason to believe they can turn that around rather than sink...and an already playoff-eligible schwarb is waiting to join up for the stretch, if not earlier. all of that and there's a good chance the club will upgrade some areas via a trade even if it's not a blockbuster trade or a game-breaking upgrade.

Captain Obvious here noting that we saw the REAL ace of the Cubs staff. And to think what they gave up to acquire Jake...stolen!

Nick Cafardo's Cub related stuff from the Boston Globe on Sunday...
4. Chicago Cubs The Cubs need a top starting pitcher, perhaps a big bullpen piece, and a hitter if they’re to legitimately battle for a wild card. They have extra young positional players. They can easily team up with a team looking to give up pitching, both a starter and closer, to make a deal. Getting Hamels and Papelbon would be a coup for Theo Epstein. He’s got the pieces to pull off both. The Cubs match up well with the Mets, the A’s (Gray?), and the White Sox (if Epstein wants to put together an all-prospects package for Sale as he once tried to do for Felix Hernandez when he was Red Sox GM). The Reds are also a fit if Epstein seeks Cueto or Mike Leake.

hamels and papelbon...c.sale (really?)... cafardo gets kicked around a lot, but this is some "out there" stuff...not to mention the SP + pen are the least of the team's worries for weeks. i cant even imagine what it would take to get sale (who's under contract for 4 years at around 12m a year). seriously, bryant alone most likely wouldn't get it done...imagine putting together another package not including him and how much talent that would bleed.

    per Tribune: Suzuki MRI results pending from yesterday so we should get a timetable for return later today.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.
