Dodgers @ Cubs: Kershaw vs Hendricks (Game 172; NLCS Game 6)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Cubs 5, Dodgers 0
W: Hendricks (1-1); L: Kershaw (2-1)
Cubs defeat Dodgers 4-2; advance to World Series--hell yeah!PREVIEW
LAD (2-3): LHP Clayton Kershaw (2-0, 3.72)
CHC (3-2): RHP Kyle Hendricks (0-1, 3.00)
First pitch: 7:08pmCST

Hendricks lost his matchup against Kershaw in Game Two of the NLCS (5.1 IP, 1 ER, 5 K, 4).  He went 9-2 with a 1.32 at Wrigley during the season, including a June 2 game against the Dodgers when he went 8 innings and gave up 2 ERs. Overall, they are 8-41 (.195) against him. Turner is 2-7. Gonzalez has a HR in 5 ABs in the regular season. He also had a second-inning HR in Game Two.

Kershaw won Game Two of the NLCS, going 7 scoreless after his save of Game Five of the NLDS against the Nationals. In Game Two, Baez and Contreras had hits against him, and Rizzo had a walk--and that was it. For their careers, the Cubs are 32-133 (.241) against him. Bryant is 1-5 and Rizzo is 3-11, both with HRs. Fowler is the stud (18-44, .409).

Game Seven would be Hill versus Arrieta. There will be no Game Seven.

Go Cubs!

LEAVE NO DOUBT! KNOCK KERSHAW OUT! YA MAKE ME WANNA SCREAM AND SHOUT!

Schwarber potentially on WS roster legit? I still would be surprised if it actually happens, but I would love to see him on it. I assume that he would replace Coughlan or Rob Z (if Cubs decide to go back down to 11 pitchers, which wouldn't be surprising considering that Rob Z hasn't pitched in this series). But this doesn't matter yet. 1 more win against the Dodgers is still needed. While I wouldn't be surprised if Heyward starts tonight, but Almora is still great defensively and is right handed. Heyward vs Kershaw is pretty much a free out for Kershaw. Other than that, I expect the same or very similar lineup to game 4 against Urias. I would put Russell in the 7th spot though since he's hot and to avoid any intentional walk to face Hendricks. If it were me, I would put this lineup on the field tonight: Fowler-CF Bryant-3B Rizzo-1B Zobrist-LF Baez-2B Contreas-C Russell-SS Almora Jr-RF Hendricks-P All we need is 1-2 runs off Kershaw and a locked in Hendricks tonight. Any sort of jam, and Joe can pull him for a LHP to neutralize the Dodger lineup. I'm predicting Cubs 2, Dodgers 1. Both Cubs runs on a KB homer. He's due for one. For the Dodgers run, I'm predicting a Gonzalez RBI single, but he gets called out via replay trying to advance to 2nd on the throw to the plate to end the inning, lol. #FlyTheW

Also, if Pedro Baez pitches tonight, can he please be ejected for taking too long to pitch? Watching him pitch makes staying awake difficult. Maybe they can actually enforce the rule where you have to throw within 12 seconds (it's something like that I believe) when Baez is on the mound.

Anyone else using a Windows machine having an issue getting the site to load? The site administrator might have to clear the varnish cache and restart the service. It works fine from other operating systems like android and IOS 10.

This game should, barring the unforeseen (which of course can't be barred) be subject to a Game and Parachat Recap.

So I correctly predicted that Almora would be in the lineup tonight and correctly predicted the exact order, players, and positions. Hopefully I will be right about predicting a Cubs win tonight. One of my friends said prior to game 4 that the Cubs would light up Urias and they did, he said the same thing about Kershaw tonight. Hopefully he's right. Go Cubs Go! #FlyTheW

Really looking forward to checking out Cub catching prospect Victor Caratini's at-bats for the Mesa Solar Sox tonight. Hitting seventh and playing first tonight. Also some dude named Schwarber DHing batting 2nd.

    Well, game 29 on the year was a hell of a game. That felt like a throwback, too. I had a feeling Morel had a shot at catching up to that fastball.

    Phil,

    Any thoughts/details on Carico and/or JP Wheat?

    MIL loses!

    cubs finally get to sole control of 1st place in the central.

  • crunch (view)

    MIL out here stealing 3rd with 1 out and down by 1 in the bottom 9th.

    it worked.  this MIL team is annoyingly fun to watch so far this year...

  • crunch (view)

    it took him 24 pitches, 2 walks, 2 Ks...but he got it done.  woo.

  • azbobbop (view)

    Full pack!

  • crunch (view)

    neris still doesn't have his command/control...

    i don't expect it to dog him all season, much like i don't expect alzolay to be a HR machine.

    i'll take alzolay over neris to close out a game, though...over leiter, too.

  • crunch (view)

    MOREL HR!  his first homer in like, 3 years or something...or feels like it.

    top of the 9th, 2 run shot off f'n diaz to break the tie.

  • crunch (view)

    swanson breaks it up in the 8th with a single.

  • crunch (view)

    1h and 6 minutes to get through 6 innings.

    also, the cubs are getting no-hit.  neat.
