Nationals @ Cubs: Roark vs Hendricks (Game 108)

Submitted by CTSteve on

WAS (63-43): RHP Tanner Roark (8-7, 4.93)
CHC (57-50): RHP Kyle Hendricks (4-3, 3.80)
First pitch: 1:20pmCST

Hendricks gave up 1 ER in 5 innings in Milwaukee on Saturday but ended up with a no-decision in a game the Cubs won 2-1. The Nationals are 15-69 (.217) against him. Harper is 3-10 with a HR.

Roark lost to the Rockies his last time out (5 IP, 4 ER, 8 K, 4 BB). He’s 5-2 with a 4.34 on the road this season. The Cubs are 11-55 (.200) against him. Bryant is 4-8 with a HR, and Rizzo is 4-15 with 2 HR. Heyward is 0-15.

In addition to missing Strasburg, who’s out with a nerve impingement, the Cubs are also not going to see Scherzer, who left Tuesday's game after one inning because of neck spasms. 

Lackey (8-9) against TBD tomorrow at the same time.

Go Cubs!

EJAX PITCHING AGAINST THE CUBS TOMORROW! Do you think we can get one game in this series now?

Russell to DL, Zastryzny up. Thank goodness, we really needed that 9th guy in the 'pen. They had to cover a whole 11 innings over 3 days!

I had really thought that the 16-3 game 3 days ago would do wonders for the team's confidence. The early-inning blues have returned. IT is that much harder to come back against the good teams.

Murphy is a good hitter. I'd like to see the Cubs get that sort of production from a third-day bat.

RALLY!

cj edwards just keeps getting worse. it's amazing. 2 hits, a walk...0 outs... popout (run scores) and a double play. damage limited.

You know, I feel the same way - but aren't you "Mr. Sample Size"? Looking at his entire year, he has been damn good (I grudgingly have to admit this). But the last two innings he has pitched he has sucked ass. As you see, Maddon brought him right out there today - And, as BB has reminded that I didn't absorb fully - these last 6 games are not playing the Padres, Brewers, or Orioles. I can see why the D-Backs are 6-7 games better now than the Cubs...And the Nationals are more stacked than them.

im the guy that makes fun of sample size then blows it out of whack with a stupid comparison. that said, i do usually warn on a sample size issue if i know it's a point that would fairly be brought up. ...but cj has been at this for a couple months. really sketchy control issues...deep counts, walks. his whip still looks good, but he's not looking anything like a future closer. i still like the guy, but it's been hard to watch him lose the zone.

The unfortunate truth about the 2017 Cubs is that they can't beat good teams because they aren't as good as those teams. LAD, COL, AZ, WASH - Cubs are 7-14 against them. Throw in NYY and BOS, and the record against quality teams drops to 8-19. The good news is if they can survive the next 8 games (4-4 will do nicely against WAS and 6-game trip to SF and AZ), they will be done with said quality teams and can go back to playing everyone else, against whom they are 17 over, if my math is correct. The hot start post-AS break was nice, but the reality is that this team is in the second tier of the NL. But, it's baseball, and inferior teams beat superior teams all the time, so we'll see.

The Tampa Bay Rays don't seem particularly interested in beating the Brewers this weekend. Shut out yesterday and shut out thru seven innings today.

    masterboney is a luxury on a team that has multiple, capable options for 2nd, SS, and 3rd without him around.  i don't hate the guy, but if madrigal is sticking around then masterboney is expendable.

    I THINK I agree with that decision. They committed to Wicks as a starter and, while he hasn’t been stellar I don’t think he’s been bad enough to undo that commitment.

    That said, Wesneski’s performance last night dictates he be the next righty up.

    Quite the dilemma. They have many good options, particularly in relief, but not many great ones. And complicating the situation is that the pitchers being paid the most are by and large performing the worst - or in Taillon’s case, at least to this point, not at all.

    Wesneski and Mastrobuoni to Iowa

    Taillon and Wisdom up

    Wesneski can't pitch for a couple of days after the 4 IP from last night. But Jed picked Wicks over Wesneski.

    booooooooooo

    also, wisdom and taillon are both in chicago.

    Tonight’s game postponed. Split games on Saturday.

    cubs getting crazy good at not having player moves leak.

    taillon we 100% know is pitching tonight.  who he's replacing and any additional moves are unknown as far as i can tell.

    p.wisdom was not in today's lineup in iowa (rained out) and he was removed from the game last night mid-game, but not for injury.  good bet he's with the team in the bigs, too.

    A good rule of thumb is that if you trade a near-ready high ceiling prospect, you should get at least two far-away high ceiling prospects in return.  Like all rules-of-thumb, it depends upon the specific circumstances, but certainly, we weren't going to get Busch for either prospect alone.

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Right on schedule, just read an article in Baseball America entitled "10 MLB Prospects Outside The Top 100 Who Have Our Attention".  Zyhir Hope was one of the prospects featured. It stated that he's "one of the biggest arrow-up sleeper prospects in the lower levels right now."

     

    Not sharing to be negative about the trade, getting a top 100 prospect who is MLB ready should carry a heavy prospect cost.  But man, Dodger sure are good at identifying and developing young talent. Andrew Friedman seems to have successfully merged Ray's development with Yankees financial might to create a juggernaut of an organization.  

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    I suspect Brown will spend some time in the bullpen due to inning restrictions.  Pitched only 93 innings last year and career high is 104 innings in 2022.  I would expect them to be cautious with a young player with his injury history.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I wanted Almonte gone last week, but that was before Merryweather went down and Little got demoted. Almonte in his last 5 appearances has gone 4.1 IP with no ER or Runs. NO hits, 3 BBs and 8 SO. He did hit 96 with his 2S FB in AZ on Tues.
    I don't see Jed waiving him when we have injuries all over and guys with options that can be sent down.
    I probably won't like the move Jed makes, but he can't play the "let's hope no one wants his 1.7mil remaining deal and we can hide him in Iowa" card.
    That's why I think the current Bullpen stays as is and Wicks goes to Iowa.
    I don't like that, but that's the fix I see.
    We'll find out soon enough!!!
