Cubs @ Dodgers: Montgomery vs Norris (Game 127)

Submitted by CTSteve on

The Cubs only need to win one from the Dodgers to have a winning road trip, but we'll settle for all three.CHC (81-45): LHP Mike Montgomery (4-5, 2.41)
LAD (72-56): RHP Bud Norris (6-10, 4.69)   
First pitch: 9:10pmCST

Montgomery, an area native, hit his pitch count after 4.1 innings and had to take a no-decision in Colorado in his first start with the Cubs. He gave up 1 ER (a solo HR to Hundley in the 5th), struck out 5, and walked 2. Reddick, the only Dodger to have faced him, is 1-2.

Norris has had a rough start as a Dodger. He went 3-2 with a 4.34, in July after being acquired from the Braves but got shelled in his last start, giving up 6 ER in 3.2 in Cincinnati. He’s appeared out of the bullpen since then and gave up an ER in less than an inning. The Cubs are 25-104 (.240) against him. Heyward is 3-10 with a HR.

Other notes: Lackey and Rondon are slated to throw bullpen sessions this weekend. And Carlos Ruiz, acquired from the Phillies for clubhouse favorite AJ Ellis, will make his Dodger debut.

The Cubs won 3 of the 4 games against the Dodgers at Wrigley in May-June.

Hammel looks to bounce back from his rocky start against the Rockies tomorrow at 3:05pmCST.

Go Cubs!

It's August 26. Cubs with 14 game lead. And not for #1 draft pick. Words I never thought I would type together.

last year they won 97...and came in 3rd in the division. crazy game on a year-to-year basis. this year it's likely no one else in the division will win 90, though it's technically possible at this point. no matter what, this is a special team, though...very well rounded...and should be mostly intact next year with a bonus schwarber. chapman may not be around, but whatever...rondon and crew are capable even if not on chapman's level.

I figured this was going to be the most meaningless regular season in Cubs history...and it is pretty much on point, although I certainly didn't think we'd have close to a 14 game lead. But, one bad hop in game 1 in October could change absolutely everything we will remember about this year.

If my math is correct, if the Cubs play .500 baseball for the rest of the season, they will finish with 99 wins. I only just confirmed through Baseball Reference that 97 wins last year (and 2008) were the most Cubs wins in my lifetime. I think that last year while Arrieta was pitching better than Cy F. Young I didn't really get or appreciate what he was doing. I'm trying to try to grasp in the moment just how fucking remarkable this season is.

First year I'm not going to a Cubs/Dodgers game in a long time. 4 month old baby kinda changes plans around. But the no-hitter I was at last year can last in the memory banks for awhile. I think Dodger Dogs are awful. I love hot dogs, but those are crap.

think I have to miss this series too (also was at the Arrieta game last year). But in my case, just had a busy weekend with work and kids have a bunch of activities and we made it to Opening Day in Anaheim and a couple of games in Wrigley this year which we normally don't get too...so not feeling like I'm missing out this year.

Submitted by blockhead25 on Fri, 08/26/2016 - 08:02 pm

We may have a chance to catch one in October. Although hell, I couldn't deal with my co-workers if we lose to them.

Seager with the two out double *cough* to left field in the bottom of the fourth. If Soler just plays that bunny hop off his nuts, it's a single - certainly no double.

carlos ruiz is still coming up to "in the air tonight" by phil 'are you kidding me' collins in LA. many years ago before phil collins it was a soulja boy song. dude has odd taste in music. at least it's not yanni...i guess.

    masterboney is a luxury on a team that has multiple, capable options for 2nd, SS, and 3rd without him around.  i don't hate the guy, but if madrigal is sticking around then masterboney is expendable.

    I THINK I agree with that decision. They committed to Wicks as a starter and, while he hasn’t been stellar I don’t think he’s been bad enough to undo that commitment.

    That said, Wesneski’s performance last night dictates he be the next righty up.

    Quite the dilemma. They have many good options, particularly in relief, but not many great ones. And complicating the situation is that the pitchers being paid the most are by and large performing the worst - or in Taillon’s case, at least to this point, not at all.

    Wesneski and Mastrobuoni to Iowa

    Taillon and Wisdom up

    Wesneski can't pitch for a couple of days after the 4 IP from last night. But Jed picked Wicks over Wesneski.

    booooooooooo

    also, wisdom and taillon are both in chicago.

    Tonight’s game postponed. Split games on Saturday.

    cubs getting crazy good at not having player moves leak.

    taillon we 100% know is pitching tonight.  who he's replacing and any additional moves are unknown as far as i can tell.

    p.wisdom was not in today's lineup in iowa (rained out) and he was removed from the game last night mid-game, but not for injury.  good bet he's with the team in the bigs, too.

    A good rule of thumb is that if you trade a near-ready high ceiling prospect, you should get at least two far-away high ceiling prospects in return.  Like all rules-of-thumb, it depends upon the specific circumstances, but certainly, we weren't going to get Busch for either prospect alone.

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Right on schedule, just read an article in Baseball America entitled "10 MLB Prospects Outside The Top 100 Who Have Our Attention".  Zyhir Hope was one of the prospects featured. It stated that he's "one of the biggest arrow-up sleeper prospects in the lower levels right now."

     

    Not sharing to be negative about the trade, getting a top 100 prospect who is MLB ready should carry a heavy prospect cost.  But man, Dodger sure are good at identifying and developing young talent. Andrew Friedman seems to have successfully merged Ray's development with Yankees financial might to create a juggernaut of an organization.  

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    I suspect Brown will spend some time in the bullpen due to inning restrictions.  Pitched only 93 innings last year and career high is 104 innings in 2022.  I would expect them to be cautious with a young player with his injury history.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I wanted Almonte gone last week, but that was before Merryweather went down and Little got demoted. Almonte in his last 5 appearances has gone 4.1 IP with no ER or Runs. NO hits, 3 BBs and 8 SO. He did hit 96 with his 2S FB in AZ on Tues.
    I don't see Jed waiving him when we have injuries all over and guys with options that can be sent down.
    I probably won't like the move Jed makes, but he can't play the "let's hope no one wants his 1.7mil remaining deal and we can hide him in Iowa" card.
    That's why I think the current Bullpen stays as is and Wicks goes to Iowa.
    I don't like that, but that's the fix I see.
    We'll find out soon enough!!!
