Cubs @ Marlins: Lester vs Nicolino (Game 74)

CHC (37-36): LHP Jon Lester (4-4, 3.83) 
MIA (34-38): LHP Justin Nicolino (0-1, 5.06) 
First pitch: 3:10pmCST

Lester went 6 innings of two-run ball but had a no-decision against the Padres on Monday. He’s 1-3 with a 5.86 on the road this season. The Marlins are 40-116 (.345) against him. Prado is 6-13, and Stanton is 2-6. Both of his Hs are HRs, which may or may not have landed yet.

Nicolino gave up 3 ER in as many innings but ended up with a no-decision against the Nationals on Monday, his fourth outing of the season. He had been pitching for AAA-New Orleans. Prior to being called up, he was 8-10 with a 4.52 ERA in his career in the majors. Only Jay (1-3) has faced him.

Montgomery (1-3) against Volquez (3-8) in the season finale versus tomorrow at 12:10pmCST.

Go Cubs!

At the game. 10 rows behind home with Bleacher Bums headgear. Today is my 30th of the 30 active MLB stadiums. Go Cubs!

I've been wanting to go to PNC Park. The fact you put it on the same level as the Giants park has me really impressed. I thought Pac Bell (is it AT&T now) was top notch the couple times I was there way back in 2001. I don't think I was as impressed with SafeCo though; same time back in 2001.

This season have moved into surreal territory. Pitcher with the lowest K rate in all of MLB on the mound, and MVP KB and Russell K with RISP. Truly unbelievable.

cubs win! brews lose! 0.5 games back of 1st!

    morel in the lineup and playing 3rd.

    Richard Lovelady one walk & 20 K, 22 hits but no HR, high ERA, and two-to-one GB to FB in 12.1 IP, so I would guess that's why he got the call. Sort of the exact opposite of Luke Little. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Definitely surprised about Dick Lovelady. He has a phenomenal name but that’s probably the best thing he’s got. I was kinda hoping for Wieck even though he’s apparently still tossing 86 as his heater

    wicks 15d DL...cubs select...get ready for this one...richard f'n lovelady.  lovelady's stregnths include being able to throw a ball left handed and that's about it.

    also little optioned, palencia up.

    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.

  • crunch (view)

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

  • Cubster (view)

    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."
