Cubs @ Dodgers: Arrieta vs. Wood (Game 129)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Put away the razor blades. Jake to the rescue!

CHC (73-55): RHP Jake Arrieta (16-6, 2.22)
LAD (72-56): LHP Alex Wood (9-8, 3.70)
First pitch: 7:08pmCT

Arrieta finally gets what he deserves (other than a raise): a national audience. He was passed over as an All-star and has spent the last couple of months making everyone responsible look like fools. We’re running out of superlatives to talk about Arrieta’s season and the run he’s been on, so we might have to start using other languages. ¡Increíble!

He beat the Giants (6 IP, 0 ER) on Tuesday for his fifth win in as many starts. He missed the Dodgers during their four-game swing through Wrigley last month. They are 14-53 (.264) against him. Crawford is 5-11 with a HR.

Wood is 2-2 with a 4.34 ERA since being acquired by the Dodgers from the Braves. He won in Cinci (5.2, 1 ER) his last time out. The Cubs are 10-24 against him. Coghlan is 4-5.

A 2-4 road trip would not be disastrous, and we have the Reds teed up for the return to Wrigley. The Cubs are 9-4 against them so far this year. For the series, we’ll see Holmberg vs. Hendricks, DeScalfani vs. Haren, and Iglesias vs. Hammel.

According to reports, Javy Baez will be up when rosters expand on Tuesday.

Go Cubs!

Oh hell yes first career no hitter for Arrieta. He had such nasty breaking stuff today and was locating it perfectly. 2 and 6 on the road trip, imo, while not ideal is completely fine with the cushion we had. This though is the perfect ending to this. edit/ 2 and 4! Even better lol

when a guy like baez is considered "oh yeah, he's nice when we can find room for him" and m.olt might as well not exist you know you're packed at the top of the MLB-ready food chain. now the system needs pitchers...starters and relievers...and keep the talent pipeline moving from the bottom up.

Amen. It'll be fascinating to see how Theo/Jed maneuver this winter to get some consistency off the mound. Optimism. Feels so odd. God I hope no asteroids hit the earth in the next 12-14 months.

Awesome! Now, get the hell out of California and back to where we get hits with RISP.

Jake is cold blooded no reaction after no hitter Guy becoming a legend

Submitted by Jackstraw on Sun, 08/30/2015 - 08:22 pm

Congrats, Jake. Castro's AB in the 7th was a comforting moment of certainty in an otherwise stressful evening.

Had to love his press conference in PJs. I agree with those above -- 2-4 on a trip facing MadBum and Kershaw is OK. We seem to always have trouble in LA. It would be good to pick up another game or two on SF while we play CIN and they face Greinke & Kershaw. SF's brutal stretch ends Wednesday -- their schedule gets a lot easier after that, while we have a lot of PIT and Cards in Sept. C'mon Javy - we need some thunder against LHP.

from rotowurld...  "Arrieta has been unbelievable since mid-June, compiling a 1.07 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 101/23 K/BB ratio over 101 innings in his last 14 starts."

ESPN critters were talking about his workout regimen. Really paying off late in the season. I'm assuming he will get the start in the one game playoff. It seems he's always got a no hitter going til the 5th or so anyway, often longer. Maybe he can do it in the one gamer.

More Arrieta no-hitters! And more ex-softball player commentators! Less Kruk.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far.

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.

    i have no hard data, but i'm seeing the same thing.

    there used to be some parks where that was rampant (colorado during the todd helton days comes to mind), but i'm seeing it all over the place the past couple seasons.

    I’ll spare the details which I’ve stated before but, in short, the Cardinals have lost their sight of their successful identity and strategy over last several dominant decades. From the beginning of the season I saw the Cardinals being in last place or near it again this year, and my prediction is that Mozeliak will be gone after the end of the season.

  • Bill (view)

    I would have kept Cooper rather than Wisdom, but at least I can understand why they did it.  In a team that lacks dominant power hitters, Wisdom can be a dominant power hitter, at least in streaks.  I suppose that there is always the possibility that the streaks longer in both duration and frequency.  I will be content if they essentially make a 100 % DH commitment to Mervis against righties and Wisdom against lefties.  When a regular needs rest, give them total rest, rather than a DH rest.  Do this for at least 2 months, and then re-evaluate at that point.

    This is Cubs adjacent but…


    Jordan Walker just was optioned by the deadbirds. For all the talk of the Cardinals development machine, they’ve really missed on a lot of can’t miss superstars lately. Walker has struggled. Gorman has been okay. They’re already trying to push Carlson out the door. Their pitching system has been so bad they had to go out and sign basically a full rotation over the last two offseasons.

    They’ve still developed a few of those pesky solid players, like Donovan, Edman, and Nootbaar. Their two best prospect to MLB players have been Adolis and Arozarena, neither of which is a cardinal.

    I hope they never figure it out again. Cardinal failure brings me such joy.
