Dodgers @ Cubs: Wood vs Hammel (Game 49)

On this day when we remember our fallen veterans, let us also take a moment to reflect on the rookies who have yet to be called to duty.

LAD (27-24): LHP Alex Wood (1-3, 4.03)
CHC (34-14): RHP Jason Hammel (6-1, 2.17)
First pitch: 4:05pmCST

Hammel beat the Cardinals on Tuesday (7.1 IP, 1 ER, 4 K, 3 BB). He’s 2-0 wth a 2.04 at Wrigley so far this year. The Dodgers are 31-116 (.267) against him. Kendrick is 7-16, and Ethier is 10-29 with 2 HR.

Wood had a no-decision in San Diego his last time out (6 IP, 2 ER, 13 K, 1 BB). His one victory came against Arizona on April 13th. He’s 0-3 with a 6.84 on the road so far this year. Even the Braves tagged him for a loss at Turner Field. The Cubs are 6-29 (.207) against him. Bryant is 1-3 with HR.

Kazmir (4-3, 4.84) versus Arrieta (9-0, 1.72) tomorrow at 7:05pmCST.

Go, Cubs!

heyward with a bit of starlin castro disease...you're great D dude, but you can't range 200ft in all directions even if you're playing CF. that said, he almost had it...though zobrist or baez should have had it if heyward wasn't coming on at 100mph. hammel is quite wild today even if he got the first 2 outs on Ks that were result of swinging through stuff not in the zone.

hammel is injured and done..."leg cramp" or some other leg issue...was down behind the mound coming back from commercial and seemed to have injured himself warming up on the mound between innings.

3ip 0h 0bb 3k for t.wood...nice. 28 pitches. wonder if they'll let him go another. 4ip 0h 0bb 4k...and probably done f'real this time. 43 pitches and in line for the win.

In reply to by crunch

He's had so few save opportunities that it might be difficult for him to get the All Star nod but Rondon has an absolutely ridiculous 1.05 ERA and 1.06 FIP after this game so far (and I think his worst outing was in the 10th inning non save situation) so I do absolutely think he is worth considering.

One miscommunication in outfield and the Cubs would have another no hitter

    it's a "for cash considerations" trade.

    cooper is a 1st/DH only type, but that's practically a freebie for BOS.  i was expecting some AAA fodder gamble on the same level rather than cash.  he showed up decent in spring + his limited time with the cubs.

    given BOS's extreme need for a 1st, this is a steal for them.

    Red Sox get G Cooper, I doubt if the Cubs get anything in terms of personnel.

    An excellent Earl Weaver chain smoking reference.

    I think it’s a bit of a chicken or egg scenario. Did they make these trades because they saw what was coming and weren’t impressed and knew to keep up with the demand for constant winning thru had to acquire impact players? Or did those additions cause a failure of resource allocation elsewhere.

    In addition, the whole they traded to acquire a star, that’s precisely what organizations should do if they feel they’re a piece away. Keep developing talent, but sometimes you need to supplement that talent. It’s what the best run organizations do. Atlanta does it. Houston in their prime run did it. Nationals during their prime run did it. Of course dodgers did it. Boston and Philadelphia too. Hell, the Cubs did it when they won. There’s no team that has had sustained success that has solely relied on their own internal development. It just doesn’t happen. I wouldn’t fault St Louis for that. What I suspect happened is in that 2020 season, in an effort to save money, they cut budget from developing and scouting. Or maybe the wrong guys got poached by other orgs. Regardless, blaming the acquisition of two of the best players of their generation for peanuts, seems off base to me.

    I do agree that we’ve more or less come to the same conclusion, but our paths to that conclusion contain almost no crossover. I think we can also agree that seeing the cardinals struggle brings a warmth to our hearts.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.
