Cubs @ Mets: Arrieta vs. Syndergaard (Game 169; NLCS Game 2)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Jake takes the mound down 1-0 to the Mets.

CHC: RHP Jake Arrieta
NYM: RHP Noah Syndergaard
First pitch: 7:07pmCT

Arrieta finally came back to Earth in his last game, giving up 4 ER in 5.2 innings in Game Three of the NLDS but getting the win against the Cardinals.

In his two games against the Mets this year, he went 2-0 with a 1.13. Arrieta gave up 1 ER over 8 innings in games at each park but actually pitched better on the road during the season, going 13-1 with a 1.60 ERA. The Mets batted .160 against him in the two games. For his career, they are 25-102 (.245) against him. Granderson is 10-30 with 3 HR.

Syndergaard lost against the Dodgers (6.1 IP, 3 ER) in Game Two of the NLDS and pitched one inning of relief in the clinching game on Thursday. He warmed up four times (with 60 pitches) because of deGrom’s early struggles, which means he might be on a pitch count.

Against the Cubs at Wrigley on May 12--it was also his MLB debut--Syndergaard went 5.1 and gave up 3 ER for the loss. He went 7-2 with a 2.46 at home. The Cubs are 6-17 against him. Bryant and Soler are 2-3. Coghlan has a HR.

To call this game a must-win is an understatement. deGrom vs. Hendricks on Tuesday.

Go Cubs!

I found yesterday's game entirely predictable, very much like game 1 of the NLDS. To me the problem with Lester's performance isn't 4ER in 6.2. The problem is yet another first inning run that changes the entirely mentality and approach of the game. All the pre-series buzz was about the fact the Mets have strong and deep pitching, but the Cubs have Arrieta and Lester. The mets have 3 pitchers all with better numbers than Lester this year. Hopefully Arrieta gets his mechanics back with and extra day of rest. Otherwise, it was fun while it lasted.

So, technical question. When I try to log on to Parachat, it opens a bunch of seedy-looking pop-under windows. In fact, even when I'm able to log on, any time I touch the Parachat window, something opens up. Anyone else get this? Also, go Cubs.

ParaChat places the ads on the free version of its product. To remove them, one must either purchase one of the other products they offer or I can install and configure a chat room. I haven't looked into it, but I doubt you'd get all the bells and dolphins that you get in ParaChat.

Ads isn't the issue, it is the very shady 2005 like pop-under type of ads that launch on Internet Explorer that is the problem. I do suppose that comes with the territory of it being a free product. I don't have issues on Chrome though, so suggest people always use that and not try with IE.

I checked the code and the ads and pop-ups are coming from parachat. Either they aren't checking out their ads well or someone hacked their ad server. Everyone's browser should have a setting where a pop-up window can be blocked. I wouldn't reccommend IE to anyone.

Ugh. The first inning totally ruined this game -- Cubs were never in it after that. I don't think they even got the tying run to the plate in the last 8 innings. 3 very crappy hours of baseball viewing. And, so, the season now depends on the right arms of Kyle Hendricks and Jason Hammel. Hmmm.

Because of the sites new color scheme, printing things such as the Org. Depth Chart come out very faint. Am I the only one noticing this?

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled.

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion
