Pirates @ Cubs: Taillon vs Hendricks (Game 67)

Submitted by CTSteve on

The train keeps a-rollin’.PIT (33-35): RHP Jameson Taillon (1-0, 1.93)
CHC (46-20): RHP Kyle Hendricks (4-6, 3.05)
First pitch: 7:08pmCST (ESPN)

Hendricks lost in DC on Monday (5.1 IP, 3 ER, 4 K, 4 BB). He’s somehow missed the Pirates so far this year. For their careers, these Pirates are 14-53 (.264) against him. Polanco is 4-11 with a HR.

Taillon, the 24y/o Floridian, made his MLB debut on the 8th and, coincidentally, has pitched against the Mets in both of his starts. He gave up 3 ER in 6 innings in Pittsburgh in his debut for a no-decision, but went 8 scoreless in Flushing on Tuesday for his first win.

Garcia (4-6, 3.93) and the Cardinals are in town next against Lackey (7-2, 2.66) tomorrow night at 7:05pmCST.

Go Cubs!

what the hell kind of unis are the cubs wearing? i thought the color/tint on my TV was screwed up for a minute. ...evidently they're "father's day" uniforms. i can't keep track of what color means what anymore.

Not a fan of bringing Richard into a game unless you are either winning or losing by 10+ runs. Single, walk and now he's pulled. Wonder if that was his last appearance as a cub.

Contreras joins Starlin Castro, Jorge Soler, and Jason Heyward (against the Cubs) in the rare feat of HR in your first career at bat. Also some other recent Cubs related ones include Cubs 1st rd bust Luis Montanez (BAL), and Branden Guyer (TB, Garza Deal). Maybe they should've let Rondon swing away last night.

Those headlights in the Pirates rear-view mirror? The Milwaukee Brewers. Nice weekend -- sweep the Pirate while the Cards get swept. And -- good for you Cleveland. I'm no fan of LeBron's, but he is an amazing player who carried his team to a championship. Well done.

Realizing while watching the game last night that a Cubs win would put them 12.5 up on the Cards got me to wondering when was the last time that happened? Baseball Reference indicates 2008 Cubs finished 11.5 up, and 1984 Cubs finished 12.5 up, I assume BR has a day-by-day accounting to see if those leads were those numbers or larger at some point. Up 12.5 on first day of summer seems like charting new territory.

    25 games played with a -85 run differential.  insane.

    White Sox DFA Bailey Horn. I'm thinking the Cubs would love to get him back although they probably won't have a decent chance of claiming him without another swap.

    WSox also call up former Cub Rafael Ortega (and additionally Tommy Pham). They are hurting and having a gawd awful April.

    White Sox DFA'd Bailey Horn.

    He wasn't producing good results in Charlotte (AAA).

    But Jed might bring him back with that open 40man spot. Then try the "sneak him thru waivers" gambit.

    Oh my, now I will have nightmares of me sitting in the bowels of the Wrigley security detention cell.

    One more thing...

    One of the reasons I come to this site...

     ...in addition to Arizona Phil, who is, as we all know, a treasure trove of well-written fresh information, honest evaluation, and sneaky-subtle humor regarding the entire Cub organization...

    ... is CubbyBlue and Tim's fantastic and timely visual takes on the Cubs (to be fair, he does have a much broader Chicago-flavored brush well beyond the Cubs).  Thanks for so many memorable images.  I am fortunate to own (one of my prize possessions) a print that I framed (55/200) of "The Last Out" with KB's shit-eating grin as he fields the series winning out of the 2016 WS.

    Tim, will you visit me if I do the text security thingy and description: Tim S? Or will I find myself in a Cub detention cell.

    i.e. "or send a text message to 773-839-**** with the keyword "Friendly" and include your seat location and a description of your issue.

    Incredible moment. Huge part of the fun of working there is when something magic like that happens, and you get to interact with baseball fans.

    That bear hug was indeed awesome. Word is that Dansby has become an outstanding clubhouse leader and that moment really demonstrated it. That reaction was one of a proud coach/mentor who’s student just excelled. I’m not even sure who was more overjoyed, Dansby or PCA. A veteran expressing that kind of unabashed support and enthusiasm for a struggling rookie is beyond fantastic to see.

    BAHAHA! I've actually not seen a single fight, but can't wait to see 70 degrees for sure!

  • crunch (view)

    next time i roll up into wrigley i'll try to start a fist fight and maybe we'll meet.

    be prepared.  i'm gonna make you earn your money.

    seriously, though...that's a cool as hell "retirement" assignment.  i imagine it will be better with warmer nights.
