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.

Submitted by blockhead25 on Tue, 08/22/2017 - 08:10 pm

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.

    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.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Supposedly Happ said on a radio show he's good to go

    I hadn't read that anywhere from the usual accounts, so this could be off.

    If true, Canario goes down.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    Hmmm. Maybe my idea of transitioning Hendricks into a closer role isn’t so crazy.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mervis and Wesneski getting promoted aaccording to Tommy Birch from Des Moines Register.

    So Happ to the IL

    Maybe Hendricks to IL ????

    Mervis/Cooper are DH platoon

    Wisdom, Canario, Tauchman share LF/RF

    I wonder if Busch has ever played LF?

    I don't believe he has

    “I respect his track record of what he’s accomplished,” Counsell said on Sunday morning. “And you go through these. He’s gone through -- maybe not this particular stretch -- but stretches where you’re not pitching the way you want to and struggling. And you figure it out.” -- Counsell on Hendricks

    fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

    i respect his track record of no longer being in the rotation.  in 2016 he threw 2 innings out of the pen, his only work out of the pen.  the cubs won the world series that year.  let's repeat that magic.  the formula is obvious.  stats don't lie.  etc etc whatever...

    small sample size and all, but how about this craziness...

    "Entering Sunday, Hendricks had allowed an .843 OPS against hitters in their initial plate appearance, followed by a 1.056 OPS in a second meeting and a 2.449 OPS when seeing batters for a third time."

    Phil: Great to see what Rosario is doing!

    Do you think having Rosario may have influenced/impacted the front office's decision on including Hope in the trade for Busch at all?

  • crunch (view)

    it's so crazy we got a new "barnstorming" harlem globetrotters-type baseball product that was introduced less than 5 years ago and is wildly popular all over the nation.

    a notion left long in the past, unearthed, polished for modern audiences and popular as ever.

    No question right now Alfonsin Rosario is one of the Cubs Top 20 prospects (probably Top 15). Rosario is to the Cubs what Zyhir Hope is to the Dodgers.
