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.

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I don’t see Tauchman as a weak link in any position. He simply adds his value in a different way.

    I don’t know that we gain much by putting him in the outfield - Happ, Bellinger and Suzuki and Tauchman all field their positions well. If you’re looking for Taucnman’s kind of AB in a particular game I don’t see why it can’t come from DH.
