AZ (64-51): LHP Patrick Corbin (8-11, 4.76)

Lester gave up 3 ER in 4 innings for a no-decision against the D’backs on Wrigley earlier this month. His last outing was a no-decision against the Nationals on Sunday (6 IP, 3 ER, 7 K, 1 BB). Overall, the D’backs are 20-75 (.267) against him. Goldschmidt is 5-8 with a HR. He’s good.Corbin went three innings and gave up 7 ER at Wrigley to take the loss in the matchup against Lester. In between, he’s also lost to the Giants (6 IP, 3 ER, 10 K, 2 BB). The Cubs are 11-37 (.297) against him. Happ is 2-2 and Bryant is 2-4, both with a HR.

Arrieta (11-8) and Godley (5-4) wrap up the West Coast tomorrow at 4:10pmCST.

Go Cubs!

Almora CF Bryant 3B Riz 1B Zobrist RF Happ 2B Schwarber LF Baez SS Avila C Lester P heyward is sitting a bit more vs lefties. hopefully he's not turning into a platoon player. hell, he kinda near equally sucks vs lefties and righties. it's more that other righty hitters excel vs the lefties than heyward is lost vs lefties.

OPS vs. LHP: Heyward .691; Zobrist .576. Neither is a great option. but given Heyward's defense & base running vs. Zobrist's, plus an additional 115 points of OPS -- why the hell is Zobrist playing RF tonight? Banging on my own broken drum, I know, but Joe's Zobrist-love is out of hand. Joe says he listens to his stats nerds. I guess just not when Zobrist is the subject. BTW -- Best OPS vs. LHP? Rizzo .998. C'mon Anthony, get that power bat going!

Classic Lester getting out of trouble in the first - nice dp started by Bryant and a big K of Goldschmidt.

Submitted by crunch on Sat, 08/12/2017 - 08:18 pm

granted, only 2 of the guys that are in the lineup for ARZ are runners (neither is strong, and one is goldschmidt), but ARZ isn't even taking big leads off base most of the time they've been on base. they're playing rather conservatively with the running game. only big lead i've seen is marte on 1st in the bottom 4th. even with goldschmidt on 2nd, goldie was taking a very traditional lead as opposed to the "guy isn't even on the tv screen" 20ft lead often seen.

Schwarber and Happ having progressively worse at bats against Corbin ... somebody pat Zobrist on the head for almost getting a ball out of the infield.

Braves ninth inning rally falls a run short - Cards win (8th consecutive) and on the verge of sharing the NL Central lead with the Cubs.

Didn't realize that Rondon hasn't pitched since 8/1. I know he had back stiffness, but that's pretty much a DL stint without actually going on the DL. He must be a bit rusty given how his outing has went so far.

This pattern of winning the first game of a series then losing the next 2 is really getting old. Hope they can break the pattern tomorrow.

Submitted by billybucks on Sat, 08/12/2017 - 08:26 pm

Rizzo's last 10 games: 0 XBH, 1 RBI. That's not going to get it done, RIzz. Maybe Szczur left some old bats around? Also -- KB with 2HR in his last 28 games. Pretty remarkable this team is over .500 with the 2 big guns not producing. Willson, we will really, really miss you.

zobrist goes down in the 9th during a 2-out rally with a harsh K. called strike...wasn't close to being in the zone and he didn't check too harshly on the swing to call it on that, either. 0-5 for zobrist. also, la stella went 0-1 ending his 3PA, 3 on base streak over his last 3 games. btw, dating back to his last mini call-up he's 3/5 with 4 walks in 9 PA...over 6 games (1 start).

looks like b.harper might be done for the year. pretty bad knee injury judging by how he reacted. slipped on the bag. game was delayed to start after a lot of rain.

    bellinger "right rib contusion"

    South Bend just lost the lead in the bottom of the 9th on the weirdest scenario, ever.

    It's absolutely pouring rain....men on 1st and 2nd, 1out....JPatterson asks for a new ball, but no time out was called....he throws the old ball toward the dugout (not sure if it rolled out of play).....the ump declares the runners get two bases each so one run scores. Then a single up the middle ties the game.

    The rain was coming down in buckets at this point.

    Just weird

    ...and bellinger is gone in the 7th because of that 2nd blown chance and the wall he bounced off of...

    hopefully his rib cage/shoulder feels better tomorrow, we just got happ back.

    Phil,

    Any thoughts on Y. Rojas' stuff and Y. Melendez's game (I believe I've asked about him before, sorry)?

  • crunch (view)

    wow, things are moving fast.  hopefully it continues.

    morel with 4 clean plays in 4 innings...showed off his 100000000mph arm a couple times.

    cody bellinger not having a good 4th, though...5 run leads are handy when your CF is making your pitcher have a 5-out inning.  2nd blown chance was ruled a hit even though it went in/out of his glove...1st was lost in the lights, also ruled a hit.

    welcome back happ!  double off the wall 1st PA back.

    oh yeah, totally, i was just chiming about why i fan like i fan.

    i would like nothing more than hendricks to keep on hendricks'ing.  guys with his stuff can throw for a long, long time as long as it works.

    he velocity is actually up a minor amount this year.  it's really "damn" when a guy like him not only has gas in the tank, but it's looking like it was years ago.  he added a curve a few years ago and it helped a little bit, but he's throwing it less and less while the fb/change combo are less effective.

    CRUNCH—There is no one person in this community I’m talking about.  My remarks were not directed at you or anyone, but at a tone I’ve noticed lately. 

    You have a great, dry sense of humor and there is thought behind your comments.   You and I don’t always agree but I always understand your position.  

    Lastly, and I’ll be quiet, I agree with you on Hendricks.  We can dislike the recent performance but still love the guy.  Lots of questions about his future.

    myself, i make a good amount of outrageously unrealistic comments that are sometimes "violent"...like my recent suggestion of "pulling the bandaid off" by having hendricks throw every inning of every game until he's on the IL.

    i would hope any athlete that cares about what is written on the internet realizes how casual fans can be about treating their lives like scripted TV characters that don't have real lives.  it's not an excuse to do it, but there's a lot of it out there.

    but yeah, in real life i'm rooting for guys to have long and healthy careers even if i'm not happy with current performances...except for some guys...and i'm pretty sure i don't leave grey area for those comments...and almost all of them are not good humans whether they're playing baseball or not...

    hendricks was getting a good amount of boos in his last game.  i would bet a million that he will get a standing O every time he visits wrigley in his post-playing days, or a return with a new team should his career continue...or if he comes back and puts in an oldschool good performance.
