Braves @ Cubs: Teheran vs Lackey (Game 23)

Submitted by CTSteve on

The train keeps a rollin’… except for all the rain.
ATL (5-18): RHP Julio Teheran (0-3, 4.60)
CHC (17-5): RHP John Lackey (3-1, 4.97)
First pitch: 1:20pmCST

Lackey lost in Cincinnati on Saturday, giving up 6 ER in 5.2 innings, in a complete meltdown of the pitching and a 13-5 loss. Atlanta is 50-178 (.281) against him. Markakis is 23-68 (.338).

Teheran lost a tough one against the Red Sox his last time out (1 ER, 7 IP, 8 Ks, 3 BBs). Atlanta has lost all five games that he’s started this year. He went 3-6 with a 5.40 on the road last year. The Cubs are 11-40 (.275) against him. Fowler is 2-6 with 3 BBs against him.

The MRI on Bryant was good news. He’s available to PH but probably won’t start till Monday.

Hammel (3-0, 0.75) vs Cole (2-2, 2.78) tomorrow at 6:05pmCST to open the roadtrip in Pittsburgh.

Go, Cubs!

He does seem out of synch. His body seems to start forward, then his arms sort of try to catch up -- if that's his normal swing, he will never hit for power. It's an all-arms slasher swing, but the timing seems off. He is currently slugging .256 -- I realize the weather has been bad, but that's epically bad. Currently 92nd out of 94 qualified NL batters. Yikes.

Weird home stand -- 3-1, with 2 rainouts, vs. two teams that will lose 100 games. Feels oddly disappointing. Miserable baseball weather all week -- hopefully better weather will get the bats going. Not just walking, but actually hitting.

Didn't see the game, but it sounded like the Cubs gave away 2 runs with poor fielding. Bummer. Well, it's been a fun diet of Reds, Brewers and Braves, but now the Cubs have to play real teams in May (Pirates, Nationals, SF, Cards and Dodgers) -- hope we are all still smiling when we wake up on Memorial Day.

It looked like the baserunner might have screened Russell some though it's still a play he should have made. I wasn't thrilled with the use of Rondon in that situation. In save situations opponents have a 77 OPS. In non-save situations it's a 116 OPS. We had other relievers for that spot we could have used.

There does seem to be something funky about closers pitching in non-save situations -- they never seem to be as effective. But, to your point, there could not have been a save situation in that game, so why not use your best reliever?

    I think it’s a bit of a chicken or egg scenario. Did they make these trades because they saw what was coming and weren’t impressed and knew to keep up with the demand for constant winning thru had to acquire impact players? Or did those additions cause a failure of resource allocation elsewhere.

    I do agree that we’ve more or less come to the same conclusion, but our paths to that conclusion contain almost no crossover. I think we can also agree that seeing the cardinals struggle brings a warmth to our hearts.

    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?

  • azbobbop (view)

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