Cubs @ Brewers: Hendricks vs Suter (Game 154)

Submitted by CTSteve on

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.

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.

    BOS 1B Casas just hit the IL. Maybe Cooper goes there.

    Cooper leaving does open a 40man spot. Probably for an arm at some point.

    Horton?

    Maybe Caissie

    now that cooper is gone, who's going to the IL?  seems like it will probably be a pitcher at this point.

  • crunch (view)

    can't wait to see what A-ball fringe corner OF/1st he'll be traded for...

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Cooper DFA'd

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Players on the 40 can be recalled and be placed on the MLB Taxi Squad for one day, like for example if a club is unsure if a player might or might not be placed on the IL ("game time decision"). Like maybe Happ, for example. 

    Also, a player on the MLB Taxi Squad must be returned to his optional assignment the next day if he is not officially recalled to the 26-man roster. 

    The player is NOT paid at the MLB split rate and does NOT accrue MLB Service Time while he is on the Taxi Squad. Also, it is not considered to be an official recall / option back if he is not added to the 26-man roster. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Wesneski has not spent 15 days on optional assignment since he was optioned so he cannot be recalled unless he is replacing a player being placed on the IL or other MLB inactive list (Paternity, Bereavement / Family Medical, et al), a player who is traded, or a player who is claimed off waivers.

    excited to see more power in the lineup.

    HOU going with 3 righty starters vs the cubs and their only lefty pen arm is hader.

    unless busch has a mystery injury, we should see busch+mervis working all 3 games.

    More than 50 years ago (I'm old), I was in the audience when my HS choir performed the whole thing. (It was a really elite choir and director.) That was my first exposure to the piece. You're right, Sonicwind75, there is a lot more to it than "O Fortuna," just like there's a lot more to Beethoven's Ninth than the Ode to Joy, etc. Much if it, as you say, is bawdy: "O! O! Totus florio! Iam amori virginali, totus ardeo!" Basically, "I'm really horny for these virgins!" And the guys in the choir adopted the "Skoal"- type greeting from the tavern scene: "Wafna!"

    i would have pause if the cubs had a pitching squeeze.   as it is, they have more guys than they have roster.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    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.
