Braves @ Cubs: Teheran vs Lackey (Game 23)

Submitted by CTSteve on

The train keeps a rollin’… except for all the rain.
ATL (5-18): RHP Julio Teheran (0-3, 4.60)
CHC (17-5): RHP John Lackey (3-1, 4.97)
First pitch: 1:20pmCST

Lackey lost in Cincinnati on Saturday, giving up 6 ER in 5.2 innings, in a complete meltdown of the pitching and a 13-5 loss. Atlanta is 50-178 (.281) against him. Markakis is 23-68 (.338).

Teheran lost a tough one against the Red Sox his last time out (1 ER, 7 IP, 8 Ks, 3 BBs). Atlanta has lost all five games that he’s started this year. He went 3-6 with a 5.40 on the road last year. The Cubs are 11-40 (.275) against him. Fowler is 2-6 with 3 BBs against him.

The MRI on Bryant was good news. He’s available to PH but probably won’t start till Monday.

Hammel (3-0, 0.75) vs Cole (2-2, 2.78) tomorrow at 6:05pmCST to open the roadtrip in Pittsburgh.

Go, Cubs!

He does seem out of synch. His body seems to start forward, then his arms sort of try to catch up -- if that's his normal swing, he will never hit for power. It's an all-arms slasher swing, but the timing seems off. He is currently slugging .256 -- I realize the weather has been bad, but that's epically bad. Currently 92nd out of 94 qualified NL batters. Yikes.

Weird home stand -- 3-1, with 2 rainouts, vs. two teams that will lose 100 games. Feels oddly disappointing. Miserable baseball weather all week -- hopefully better weather will get the bats going. Not just walking, but actually hitting.

Didn't see the game, but it sounded like the Cubs gave away 2 runs with poor fielding. Bummer. Well, it's been a fun diet of Reds, Brewers and Braves, but now the Cubs have to play real teams in May (Pirates, Nationals, SF, Cards and Dodgers) -- hope we are all still smiling when we wake up on Memorial Day.

It looked like the baserunner might have screened Russell some though it's still a play he should have made. I wasn't thrilled with the use of Rondon in that situation. In save situations opponents have a 77 OPS. In non-save situations it's a 116 OPS. We had other relievers for that spot we could have used.

There does seem to be something funky about closers pitching in non-save situations -- they never seem to be as effective. But, to your point, there could not have been a save situation in that game, so why not use your best reliever?

    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.

    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.
