Cardinals @ Cubs: Wainwright vs Hammel (Game 69)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Well, damn.Last night's game was the kind of game the Cubs have been finding a way to win. Last night--not so much. Tonight feels like time for a little revenge.

STL (36-33): RHP Adam Wainwright (5-4, 4.78)
CHC (47-21): RHP Jason Hammel (7-2, 2.26)
First pitch: 7:05pmCST

Hammel had a no-decision against the Nats on Wednesday (7 IP, 1 ER, 4 K, 0 BB). He’s 2-0 with a 1.35 in his two starts against the Cards this season. Overall, they are 44-150 (.293) against him. Peralta is 9-23 with 2 HR.

Wainwright had a no-decision his last time out (7 IP, 0 ER, 6 K, 3 BB) against the Astros. He had a no-decision against the Cubs in St. Louis last month, giving up 3 ER in 6 innings in the 4-3 Cardinal win. The Cubs are 37-152 (243) against him. Montero is 7-21 with a HR.

Wacha (2-7, 4.56) versus Arrieta (11-1, 1.74) at 1:20pmCST to close it out tomorrow.

Go Cubs!

"I would keep Montero with Hendricks for now." If players were chess pieces, maybe, JB. But they are proud professionals. The Cubs obviously wants Contreras to catch as many games as possible, and it would be infra dig for Montero to lose Arietta.

Tonight's game is a lock. The billybucks factor: Cubs always win the day after I go and witness a gut-wrenching defeat.

Carrie Muskat ‏@CarrieMuskat Warren goes to Iowa to get stretched out. He'll make start before All Star break. #Cubs Carrie Muskat ‏@CarrieMuskat #Cubs recall RHP Spencer Patton and select contract of LHP Gerardo Concepcion from Iowa

concepcion! 6 pitch K on moss...featured a 93mph fastball. neat. 1.1ip 0h 0bb 2k (1 of the Ks was on wainwright, but whatever...still an awesome relief debut)

Jason Heyward I was so excited the Cubs signed him. I had no idea he would be this bad in any "clutch" batting situation. He is the best right fielder I can remember (Sosa had some moments) post "Hawk". But...shit...he has been in a season-long slump. Really hurting this club in his spot.

Back-to-back one-run losses to the Cardinals, at home. With the tying and winning run on base in the 9th both games against a closer who is really struggling. Fuck. I'm sure there are more unpleasant sights in the world than watching the Cardinals celebrate a win at Wrigley -- I just can't think of any right now. This losing one-run games thing is becoming annoying. Fix it, please.

Would have liked a stronger start from Hammel, and anything with RISP from Heyward. Considering they have two just-up rookies, and missing Dex, Soler, LaStella (how about him ph in the 9th?), I honestly think ther are playing well. Got behind the 8-ball early with both Lackey & Hammel.

I really hate losing to the Cardinals. They had Rosenthal the day before yesterday. The rookies are a little overanxious at the plate, trying to do too much late in the game. Baez in particular, ok, he's not a rookie, yesterday was trying to smack a home run against Rosenthal. Just keep the chains moving, buddy. If you ever learn how to do that on a regular basis you'll have a salary twice that of Jason Heyward. Follow the money!!!! Concepcion looked so good I was thinking, "why were we watching Clayton Richard all those times?"

Nice article in the Trib today on the reasoning behind "Almora Jr." on the back of his uniform. As some have mentioned, it's to honor his ill father. Good on ya, Albert.

    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.

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

  • crunch (view)

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

    rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.

    ...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.

    busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.

    wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

    matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.

    cubs run differential getting destroyed.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.
