Hammel lost to the Phillies (3.2 IP, 6 ER) on Sunday. He’s only allowed more than 2 ERs only twice over his last 8 starts but has no victories to show for it. He’s 4-2 with a 2.21 in night games. The Brewers are 23-86 (.267) against him. Davis is 3-10 with a HR.
Jungmann had won his last three games before losing in Arizona (6 IP, 2 ER) his last time out. He’s 1-1 with a 1.59 ERA at home. None of the Cubs have faced him.
Today, the Cubs acquired Dan Haren and cash from Miami for Ivan Pineyro and Elliot Soto. Ben Rowan was DFA’d to make room on the roster. Haren just pitched, so we’re still in need of a starter for Sunday. The Cubs also traded Junior Lake to the Orioles for Tommy Hunter.
The big winners are: Dombrowski and the Tigers, for knowing when you’re going to fall short and having the stones to retool; the Mets for finally pulling the plug on something to shut up their fans; and the Padres, for being responsible for 70% of the chatter and 0% of the action. The big loser was me, for wasting an(other) entire afternoon on Twitter.
Go Cubs!
