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.

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.

    can't wait to see what A-ball fringe corner OF/1st he'll be traded for...

    Cooper DFA'd

    Players on the 40 can be recalled and be placed on the MLB Taxi Squad for one day, like for example if a club is unsure if a player might or might not be placed on the IL ("game time decision"). Like maybe Happ, for example. 

    Also, a player on the MLB Taxi Squad must be returned to his optional assignment the next day if he is not officially recalled to the 26-man roster. 

    The player is NOT paid at the MLB split rate and does NOT accrue MLB Service Time while he is on the Taxi Squad. Also, it is not considered to be an official recall / option back if he is not added to the 26-man roster. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Wesneski has not spent 15 days on optional assignment since he was optioned so he cannot be recalled unless he is replacing a player being placed on the IL or other MLB inactive list (Paternity, Bereavement / Family Medical, et al), a player who is traded, or a player who is claimed off waivers.

    excited to see more power in the lineup.

    HOU going with 3 righty starters vs the cubs and their only lefty pen arm is hader.

    unless busch has a mystery injury, we should see busch+mervis working all 3 games.

    More than 50 years ago (I'm old), I was in the audience when my HS choir performed the whole thing. (It was a really elite choir and director.) That was my first exposure to the piece. You're right, Sonicwind75, there is a lot more to it than "O Fortuna," just like there's a lot more to Beethoven's Ninth than the Ode to Joy, etc. Much if it, as you say, is bawdy: "O! O! Totus florio! Iam amori virginali, totus ardeo!" Basically, "I'm really horny for these virgins!" And the guys in the choir adopted the "Skoal"- type greeting from the tavern scene: "Wafna!"

    i would have pause if the cubs had a pitching squeeze.   as it is, they have more guys than they have roster.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Maybe Brewer

    He'd be able to leave the Cubs. He's out of options. That would open up a 40man spot.

    I don't think Jed would do that.

  • crunch (view)

    brewer has done nothing to keep him on the big league roster...imagine that's 1 guy gone.

    yeah, it's only 2 appearances, but they were both unimpressive.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Yeah it is.....sorry......closers don't throw 89mph

    It would be unique for sure.

    But CP can't be HR susceptible

    That's what Alzolay has right now and that's what Kyle has no matter the situation.
