Cubs @ Brewers: Hendricks vs. Wagner (Game 161)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Jake does his job, but the Reds are no help.

CHC (95-65): RHP Kyle Hendricks (7-7, 4.09)
MIL (68-92): RHP Tyler Wagner (0-1, 11.74)
First pitch: 6:10pmCT

Hendricks had a no-decision against the Royals (6 IP, 0 ER) on Monday. He went 1-1 with a 3.71 in September. In three games against the Brewers this year, he’s 1-1 with a 1.96, and they are hitting .200 against him. Davis is 5-12 for his career.

Wagern, drafted by the Brewers in the 4th round of the 2012 draft, made his debut in a spot-start in May and returned to the club last week in time to let the Cardinals knock him around (4 IP, 5 ER). None of the Cubs have faced him.

Go Cubs!

I read that guy's article about why he quit baseball and it was really well done too. In terms of Rizzo, I have seen multiple references to how this is Rizzo's team just as much as Madden's and it makes that pick up that much better that we have someone that is not only a great player but a leader and all around great guy (been reading about all the charity work he does too). There is really nothing not to like about Rizzo.

he has an almost sad disconnection from the game based on his writings. even though he's "been there" (no matter how much of a minor role) he doesn't seem to feel like he belongs or deserves to belong in the boy's club. he seems to go to great lengths to enjoy the game from an arm's length while occasionally getting close enough for a high-5 from those who affirm him that he belongs.

? I find your comments rather obtuse. He recognized he didn't want to pursue baseball anymore and went back to school to learn how to become a better writer - opening up a new chapter in his life. I don't know where you find a "sad disconnection" because he is writing about his experiences? He pursued a ball career for a long time so no doubt there is some meloncholy in his tone, but I just don't know what the fuck you are talking about. In a relatively short time he went back to school, and he has a featured piece in the New Yorker, a tremendously prestigious publication, so in my opinion - good for him and I'll be interested in reading more from him.

he strongly separates his post-playing career from his playing career, though he loves to visit the barrier of player and fan. many ex-players don't put up this barrier. he's not interested in going back to the clubhouse or pretty much anything field/game related, but he'll grab a ticket and observe with the fans and visit ex players on "neutral" ground. he's written 3 pieces for the new yorker and other pieces elsewhere. i remember one photo/bio piece he did, but don't remember where i read it (years ago). he's made a dividing line many others don't make. "sad" was a bit of projection on him. i don't think he's sad, i think it's a bit sad he doesn't feel the need to cross the barrier into the player's world. he may not have any issue with it, or he may even need to make that disconnection to get on with his life. it may just be a bad pickup by me reading his stuff. either way, i'd put a low chance of it being a huge deal in his life vs the life he's currently cultivating.

96 wins with one game to go. Who woulda thunk it. Cubs 96 wins have clinched a better record than any AL team and the NL West/East division winners too.

I know, man. What a season. 3rd best record in all of baseball, good enough to have won any division other than the one there in. With a win tomorrow, the Cubs will match their 2008 record. Bad omen, I know. If they do win, the most recent year in which the Cubs will have won more games would be 1945 (98-56), the last time they went to the World Series. I'll take that omen instead...

Greinke 95 pitches through 7. Gives up one run (solo HR to Hedges). ERA at 1.66. Doubt that they will let him give up 5 runs in the 8th. Dodgers ahead 2-1.

Submitted by Cubster on Sat, 10/03/2015 - 10:06 pm

Greinke still in for the 8th. 3 up, 3 down. After 8. 108 pitches, ERA still at 1.66 according to mlb boxscore and he's in line for a 19th win.

KB 0-5 with 8 LOB. Really? He is torturing me with 99 RBI. He is also a very different hitter at home vs. road. I suspect most young hitters are.

Reading between the lines on some of his comments he seems to know his longish swing doesn't play well with a man on third and two outs, and two strikes on him. I doubt a playoff adjustment is happening, just something he'll need to figure out next year. I have this odd feeling he will.

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be heard...unedited. 40 years, wow.

    Does he have any options left, Phil?

    morel in the lineup and playing 3rd.

    Richard Lovelady one walk & 20 K, 22 hits but no HR, high ERA, and two-to-one GB to FB in 12.1 IP, so I would guess that's why he got the call. Sort of the exact opposite of Luke Little. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Definitely surprised about Dick Lovelady. He has a phenomenal name but that’s probably the best thing he’s got. I was kinda hoping for Wieck even though he’s apparently still tossing 86 as his heater 

  • crunch (view)

    wicks 15d DL...cubs select...get ready for this one...richard f'n lovelady.  lovelady's stregnths include being able to throw a ball left handed and that's about it.

    also little optioned, palencia up.

    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.
