Braves @ Cubs: Fried vs Montgomery (Game 136)

Submitted by CTSteve on

ATL (59-75): LHP Max Fried (0-0, 5.40)
CHC (75-60): LHP Mike Montgomery (5-6, 3.29)
First pitch: 1:20pmCST

Montgomery gave up 1 ER in 7 innings for the win against the Pirates on Monday. He went 2-0 with a 1.73 in August. He won in Atlanta in July, giving up 1 ER in 6 innings. Overall, the Braves are 4-30 (.133) against him. Suzuki is 2-1, and Inciarte is 1-7 with a HR.

The 23/yo Californian rookie, Max Fried, another unfortunate name, is making his first career start, after four appearances out of the bullpen in August. Of the 4 ERs he’s given up, 3 of them happened in Colorado. Drafted by the Padres, he had Tommy John surgery in 2014 and was part of the Justin Upton deal later that year. In AA-AAA this year, he went a combined 2-11 with a 5.54.

Next up, it’s a four-game set in Pittsburgh, which kicks off with Arrieta (14-8) and Kuhl (6-10) tomorrow at 3:00pmCST on ESPN.

Go Cubs!

HAGSAG: Rob Zastryzny has indeed been recalled from AAA Iowa. He was scheduled to start for the I-Cubs today at Omaha but was scratched (apparently after yesterday's bullpen meltdown at Wrigley Field). He is stretched-out as a starter and can give the beleaguered pen some length if they need that.

There has been some questions at various sites regarding why an MLB club would place an injured player on the 10-day DL after Septermber 1st, since such a move has no effect on the club's reserve list. 

The reason it is done has to do with language in the CBA allowing a club to direct an injured MLB player to perform prescribed rehabilitation work at a particular rehab/training facility (of the club's choosing) for an injury incurred during the MLB regular season. 

The MLB Commissioner's Office advised clubs a couple of years ago that to avoid a possible grievance or lawsuit related to the treatment and/or rehab of an injury sustained by a player in September, that the club should just place an injured player on the 15-day DL (now the 10-day DL) so that the club retains its right to direct a player to a particular facility for treatment & rehab. 

Obviously a player with a sprained hangnail won't be placed on the 10-day in September, but a player with an injury that will likely require some rehab would be.

Javy injury is something we really, really don't need. Ugh. And, the Nationals seem to be mailing it in again.

Mike Freeman doing a fine job demonstrating that the Cubs still need an actual backup shortstop that can field the position when Javy's not available.

baez to stay in CHI tonight (series @PIT starting tomorrow), but he is not under concussion protocol and is supposedly catching a flight to PIT tomorrow to join the team. he's supposedly "okay" but has blurred vision in his right eye.

    just waiting to hear patrick wisdom and masterboney are spotted at the airport going in opposite directions...

    aj puk going for the marlins (lefty)...gotta imagine we'll see wisdom in the lineup.

    someone has to make room for taillon, too.

  • crunch (view)

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).
