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.

    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.

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

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

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.

    i have no hard data, but i'm seeing the same thing.

    there used to be some parks where that was rampant (colorado during the todd helton days comes to mind), but i'm seeing it all over the place the past couple seasons.

    I’ll spare the details which I’ve stated before but, in short, the Cardinals have lost their sight of their successful identity and strategy over last several dominant decades. From the beginning of the season I saw the Cardinals being in last place or near it again this year, and my prediction is that Mozeliak will be gone after the end of the season.

    I would have kept Cooper rather than Wisdom, but at least I can understand why they did it.  In a team that lacks dominant power hitters, Wisdom can be a dominant power hitter, at least in streaks.  I suppose that there is always the possibility that the streaks longer in both duration and frequency.  I will be content if they essentially make a 100 % DH commitment to Mervis against righties and Wisdom against lefties.  When a regular needs rest, give them total rest, rather than a DH rest.  Do this for at least 2 months, and then re-evaluate at that point.

    This is Cubs adjacent but…


    Jordan Walker just was optioned by the deadbirds. For all the talk of the Cardinals development machine, they’ve really missed on a lot of can’t miss superstars lately. Walker has struggled. Gorman has been okay. They’re already trying to push Carlson out the door. Their pitching system has been so bad they had to go out and sign basically a full rotation over the last two offseasons.

    They’ve still developed a few of those pesky solid players, like Donovan, Edman, and Nootbaar. Their two best prospect to MLB players have been Adolis and Arozarena, neither of which is a cardinal.

    I hope they never figure it out again. Cardinal failure brings me such joy.
