Brewers @ Cubs: Jungmann vs Arrieta (Game 21)

Submitted by CTSteve on

For his next trick, watch Jake pull a rabbit out of his hat.
MIL (8-12): RHP Taylor Jungmann (0-3, 8.47)
CHC (15-5): RHP Jake Arrieta (4-0, 0.87)
First pitch: 1:20pmCST

Arrieta only pitched a no-hitter on Thursday in Cincinnati—his second. He didn’t have his best stuff, he said afterward, which meant he walked four. The Brewers are 25-89 (.281) against him, which is obviously not going to continue. Hill is 7-17 with a HR, and Braun and his dealer are 4-10 with a HR.

Jungmann lost to the lowly Twins his last time out (3 ER, 4 IP, 2 Ks, 6 BBs). He was 4-6 with a 5.02 on the road last year. The Cubs are 11-30 (.367) against him. Russell is 3-4, and Soler is 3-5.

Blair (0-1, 5:06) and the Braves vs Lester (2-1, 1.98) open the weekend set tomorrow at 1:20pmCST.

Go, Cubs!

Jungmann gave up 6 walks in 4 innings to the Twins? The Cubs lineup will have a field day with this guy.

Video game numbers thought: Dexter Fowler already has amassed 2.0 WAR according to Fangraphs. Puts him on pace for like 16 if it were possible to sustain that for a whole year.

In today's baseball environment for people who haven't closely followed Arietta career I think it is valid to have steroid suspicions about anyone who suddenly comes out of nowhere to dominate. We've simply seen too many people get caught for it who long denied it. Now with Arietta he's always had his stuff and pitch speed and he's been that buff even when he was bad, it was just lack of control and the different delivery that was different and he's back to the pitching mechanics he had as a kid. So yes I do completely believe he is clean but I'm not naive enough to be shocked by anyone cheating at this point. Still Stephen A is a jackass and deserves to always get called out.

If Arrieta were caught, I would burn this blog down and find another sport. The Badminton Reporter, anyone?

South Bend Cubs already rained out tonight. Not sure it means much for the north side of Chicago.

Submitted by Charlie on Wed, 04/27/2016 - 04:25 pm

Accuweather saying 70+% chance of rain 8PM through the middle of the night. Seems likely this one doesn't get any real momentum if it even starts. Boo. Real bummer to get worked up for an Arrieta start and then have to wait another day for baseball.

raul ibanez replaces schilling's role at ESPN. hopefully he doesn't have a severely reactive victim mentality or a need to receive 10s of millions of government money he's not going to pay back while bitching about others getting a couple hundred a week to pay for rent, medicine, and food. if he can manage to be an ESPN personality that doesn't get suspended at least once a year he'll be doing just fine. john kruk has managed to do it for years while achieving an impressive level of not giving a fuck about his job while not putting any effort into it.

Miserable, wet Chicago April evening. Please don't endanger Arietta- good luck tomorrow.

That was on crazy top of the first -- a single, two walks, 3 stolen bases -- and no runs.

Submitted by The E-Man on Thu, 04/28/2016 - 04:00 pm

Re ZOBRIST - Today's game is what I was referring to re Zobrist and RISP struggles. He did come through with his patented single to drive in a run - but also left the bases loaded, and two men on, no outs (called 3rd). So, I hope he can pick that part of his game up when they start playing the better teams...

Cubs did a lot of that today: 2-for-17 with RISP. Man, what an ugly baseball game - Cubs receive 11 walks and Bryant reached twice by HBP, the Brewers pitchers threw almost 200 pitches (199 pitches...in 8 innings!), they even walked Baez (first one of the year), Cubs scored twice when Brewers botched routine DP balls, Cahill walks three guys with a 6-run lead, forcing Maddon to waste Strop, the weather sucked again, etc. Happy with the win, but that was really tough to watch.

    Cubs sign 28 yr old RHRP Daniel Missaki. He was in MiLB from his 17yr old to 19yr old years and did pretty well.
    He's been in Mexico and Japan the last four years and has done well also.
    He's supposedly Japanese and Brazilian.
    Interesting sign. We obviously need to RP in the system
    Injuries are mounting everywhere!!

    Sure, they made generally short term trades for established players to enhance what they already had or traded for players early enough in their careers that they were essentially Cardinals from the start. What they never did was to try to use the more established players as foundational cornerstones.

    Essentially we’re saying the same thing. They have given up on player development to the point that even their prospects that make it to the bigs flop so that they have to do things like buy most of their rotation and hope for the best.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    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.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

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

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

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

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.
