Cubs @ Reds: Lackey vs Bailey (Game 124)

Submitted by CTSteve on

CHC (66-57): RHP John Lackey (10-9, 4.67) 
CIN (53–72): RHP Homer Bailey (4-6, 8.44) 
First pitch: 6:10pmCST

This is a repeat of last week’s matchup. Lackey limited the Reds to one run over 6 innings but came away with a no-decision and ended his five-game winning streak. The Cubs would go on to win 7-6, when Baez scored on Wood’s wild pitch.

Lackey is 1-1 with a 4.67 in his three starts against the Reds this season, Overall, they are 60-206 (.291). Cozart (7-20, 2 HR), Gennett (10-27, HR), Hamilton (11-31), and Votto (8-27, 2 HR) all hit him well.

For his part, Bailey gave up 6 ER in 5.2 innings, striking out 10 and walking 1. The Cubs are 25-86 (.291) against him. Rizzo is 8-21 with 2 HR, and Jay is 9-30 with a HR.

It’s Montgomery (3-6), in for Lester, and Wojciechowski (3-2) tomorrow at the same time to continue the series.

Go Cubs!

zobrist scratched from the lineup...because he couldn't get a rental car in nashville, tn to get to the game... yes, that is the real given reason. happ at 2nd.

here's the novelty jersey names for the cubs. not surprisingly, lester still hasn't found a sense of wonder, whimsy, or humor. la stella also calls the cops on your party 1 minute after the noise violation period kicks in. http://i.imgur.com/Uh8lxGQ.jpg

Really wish replay was only used for legit close plays that it was intended for. Not neighborhood calls or guys popping an inch off the bag after a slide.

It's August 22nd and Jason Heyward has 10 doubles on the season. With juiced baseballs. That is all.

cubs tie! ...and happ is out at home on one of the worst cubs runner sends in years. but hey, tie.

Like the small ball inning though. Sac Fly RBI Ground Out Two Out RBI Cubs haven't done that much this year...let alone in one inning.

Why is WGN doing a Ford "Drive of the Game" in the 5th inning? For a Cincy Home Run???

Lackey was one pitch away from an effect outing. It's a shame Javy didn't get a chance to bat with the bases loaded - conceivable the Cubs could still have the lead even after giving up the three run bomb

El Mago, baby. El Mago translates to "making shit happen" - mostly in a good way

Votto is such a smart hitter. When he gets down 0-2, he realizes he won't see a strike for at least 2 pitches, so he doesn't chase. I hope Javy and Happ were watching that. Then, at 3-2, he got the benefit of the doubt because he's Joey Votto.

I remember watching Nomar Garciaparra when he debuted with Boston and thinking at the time how jarring it was that the guy would adjust his batting gloves between every pitch. Now a guy is unusual if he doesn't. Also, due to absence of Cubs, I watched a few innings of Pirates-Dodgers last night and was again reminded that Pedro Baez is the worst thing to happen to baseball since the color barrier. Hence: Me = Team Pitch Clock

TIE!!!

Submitted by blockhead25 on Tue, 08/22/2017 - 08:15 pm

That at bat by Baez shows what amazing potential he has. Swung at two pitches that weren't anywhere close to the plate. Almost chased a 3rd about a foot low and outside. Then was patient to get the count in his order, then solid contact right in the zone and didn't try to do too much with it.

glorious reds collapse. "damn, not much has been worse than our pen lately." - cubs pen "hold my beer." - reds pen

Submitted by Eric S on Tue, 08/22/2017 - 08:06 pm

Rizzo pulling a Don Mattingly and playing third base in the ninth. Hopefully KB removed for just precautionary reasons and his wrist is okay.

Submitted by crunch on Tue, 08/22/2017 - 08:36 pm

bryant xrays negative (left upper hand/lower wrist) day to day...and may be fine to go tomorrow.

    Cubs sign 28 yr old RHRP Daniel Missaki. He was in MiLB from his 17yr old to 19yr old years and did pretty well.
    He's been in Mexico and Japan the last four years and has done well also.
    He's supposedly Japanese and Brazilian.
    Interesting sign. We obviously need to RP in the system
    Injuries are mounting everywhere!!

    Sure, they made generally short term trades for established players to enhance what they already had or traded for players early enough in their careers that they were essentially Cardinals from the start. What they never did was to try to use the more established players as foundational cornerstones.

    Essentially we’re saying the same thing. They have given up on player development to the point that even their prospects that make it to the bigs flop so that they have to do things like buy most of their rotation and hope for the best.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.
