Cubs @ Brewers: Hendricks vs Suter (Game 154)

CHC (86-67): RHP Kyle Hendricks (7-5, 3.22)  
MIL (81-73): LHP Brent Suter (3-2, 3.41) 
First pitch: 12:05pmCST

Hendricks gave up 1 ER in 7.2 innings and beat the Cardinals on Saturday. He’s 1-1 with a 4.91 in four starts against the Brewers this season. Overall, they are 26-131 (.198) against him. Shaw is 3-10 with 2 HR.

Suter, a Chicago native (read: probably a Cubs fan) and Harvard alum (definitely not a White Sox fan), went five scoreless to win in Pittsburgh on Monday. He’s 1-0 with a 4.32, in three games against the Cubs in 2017. For their careers, the Cubs are 10-34 (.294) against him. Almora is 2-4.

Quintana (10-11) and Anderson (11-3) close out the series tomorrow and put the Brewers on hug watch at 1:10pmCST.

Go Cubs!

Brewer what ifs? Well you can also look at it the other way: the Cubs also left 17 guys on in two days. So, IF you're going there, what IF the Cubs had come through in those spots? Might not have been as close.

The biggest what if on either side has to do with the week after the All-star Break when the standings flipped.

It was not too long ago that the Cubs were always on the wrong side of these what ifs. Glad things have changed.

Time for a day off for Davis--offense needs to give the pen a decent lead tomorrow. All the pressure is still on the Brewers.

Hate to do it, but you've got to give credit to the Brewers -- Cubs had 'em twice, basically eliminating them from the division race, with their "perfect" closer on the mound, and they came back twice. Crap.

I will go out on a limb and say tomorrow will not be a close game...meaning for either team.

Well at least the Pirates have gotten off to a great start and have the Cards down 8-2 in the 3rd inning. Could see the magic number go down another spot even with a Cubs loss today. Can't really fault Davis either. He's been used a lot lately, and hopefully he bounces back and is successful in all his following save opportunities for another month.

In reply to by Lester's rattl…

The downside to winning 9 of 10 games, many them close...your bullpen is completely used up. I wasn't crazy about Davis going back out for the 10th, but I don't know if Joe really had any other choices -- Edwards, Rondon , Duensing and Monty were not available, and he had already used Strop and Wilson (by the way -- nice job, Justin!). Not sure of Grimm's status, either. So it was either a clearly fatigued Davis, or somebody with virtually no MLB experience. Seemed like a reasonable gamble -- full credit to the Brewers, coming back after 3 straight brutal losses to win a game like that. Very impressive.

    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.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    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.
