Cubs @ Pirates: Arrieta vs. Happ (Game 105 Thread)

Arrieta started off a bit shaky but eventually settled in on Thursday against the Brewers, going 6 innings and giving up 2 ER. He didn’t factor in the win, but his socks were fab-u-lous. The Pirates are 21-106 (.198) against him. McCutchen is 7-17 (.412).

Happ was acquired from Seattle at the trade deadline to take Burnett’s spot. He had a decent start to the season, then not so much. He went 1-1 with a 7.43 in July. The Cubs are 13-51 (.255) against him. Denorfia is 4-14 with 2 HR. Rizzo is 1-3 with a HR.

Go Cubs!

No Schwarber No Good! /Want to see him hit

Submitted by billybucks on Tue, 08/04/2015 - 08:33 pm

I really hope they don't overdo the lefty thing. I get sitting Schwarber vs. tough LH, like Liriano last night, but if they do it too much it becomes a Catch-22: he can't hit lefties because he never gets to hit against lefties.

Erick Leal pitched 9 innings of no hit ball or the South Bend Cubs. 1 BB, 4 K. Unfortunately the Cubs didn't score either so it's into the 10th...

Haha. No his only 'out' today was a fielder's choice where he actually hit a fly ball that dropped in front of the LF and then the LF fired to 3rd to get denorfia with the force. It was a perfect storm but essentially just short of an infield fly rule type play. I'm sure it's happened but I don't remember ever seeing it. Obviously I've seen RF throw people out at 1B .... but can't remember LF throwing someone out at 3B on a clean single.

ATL goes up 3-2 after 7... ...then SF scores 6 runs in the 8th and 9th because screw SF.

08 was awesome. the team was expected to be good and they were awesome. kerry wood finally returned to form, even though it was as a closer. soto showed up in style stealing fuku's thunder even though fuku wasn't a disaster in 08. an awesome early-season pickup of edmonds and late-season pickup of harden. ...then a 2nd season in a row of quick post-season elimination without putting up even a shred of a fight.

CTSteve -- Thanks for keeping this going! It has been so long, I had almost forgotten how much fun a baseball season can be. Ups and downs, twists and turns, cheering and cursing, scoreboard watching...every day. Awesome.

    straily's a bit rusty...

    Open 40 man spot might see the return of CJ. He’s been okay in Iowa. Teheran has been rocked in his starts this year. SSS of course.

    Wouldn’t be shocked seeing another 40 man spot open with Brewer losing his spot.

    Word is that Counsell thought Mervis and Wisdom got too much work in yesterday so it will be Wesneski.

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

  • crunch (view)

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

    rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.

    ...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.

    busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.

    wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

    matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.

    cubs run differential getting destroyed.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.
