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.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here). 

  • Cubster (view)

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
