Cubs @ Brewers: Quintana vs Anderson (Game 155)

CHC (86-68): LHP José Quintana (10-11, 4,27) 
MIL (82-73): RHP Chase Anderson (11-3, 2.74)
First pitch: 12:05pmCST

Quintana had a no-decision against St. Louis on Sunday, giving up 3 ER in 5.2 innings. He lost in Milwaukee in July (6 IP, 2 ER, 6 K, 3 BB). Overall, the Brewers are 12-56 (.214) against him. Villar is 3-6.

Anderson won his third straight on Tuesday in Pittsburgh. He’s 3-0 with a 1.66 in September. In three starts against the Cubs in 2017, he’s 2-1 with a 5.14. For their careers, they are 22-98 (.224). Bryant is 4-12 with 3 HR, and Zobrist is 5-11 with a HR.

The Cubs next head to St. Louis (hopefully to clinch), starting tomorrow with Lester (11-8) and Weaver (7-1) at 7:15pmCST.

Go Cubs!

contreras hasn't been his old self with attempting to throw out runners since returning. hopefully he finds his skills sometime soon. he's not slow out of the crouch, but his accuracy has been spotty.

zobrist! 3 run lead in the 7th. #no10thinning

wow. Q getting to work the 8th after 103 pitches through 7ip. maddon put away the short hook today.

Three more years of this from Q? Yes please. He's looked fantastic lately. To think the White Sox had this guy, AND Chris Sale, wow.

Now I know what a tall drink of water looks like in a Bear uniform. What a quarterback looks like, may have to wait till next year.

This is the Q that is 100% worth giving up Jiminez and Cease for. Good to see him perform like this in a big game with a post season feel to it. Hopefully Arrieta continues to come back strong. I wouldn't mind a postseason rotation of Arrieta, Q, Hendricks, and then Lester.

Agreed. What a great day! Bears upset. Cubs take 3/4. I would not want to face this Cubs team right now in a series.

"....but if you try, sometimes, you just might find....you get what you NEEEEED!" You were right, as always, Mick. My goodness -- could not have drawn it up any better. Day off for the whole bullpen, big hits by Bryant and Rizzo (and, yes, Zobrist...) and knocking the # down to 2. Very, very fun day, particularly after the rough ending yesterday. Bears somehow win with no passing game. Great job by the O Line, but that can't be a sustainable model. Also, Cooper with the stupidest play I have ever seen in the NFL. Truly unbelievable. And, how does one become "Cooper, Sr."? At what point do you add "Sr." to your name?

That was Rony Cedeno stupid and Ditka would have reemed him a new one on the field. I have seen some really stupid shit, but that made the top 10 for sure. I have seen that in a similar in college games, but in the pros that kind of stupid shit is more rare.

Just saw his post-game comments. Took no accountability, said "we got 3 points out of it" and said his teammates have his back. What a turd. Put his "look at me" showboating above the team. Get into the end zone, then showboat all you want. Fox should cut him to send a message. Idiot.

The pitching performances in this series out were something to remember. Joe clearly let Quintana finish that game for Quintana's sake, but boy had he earned it. Hendricks and Arrieta were masterful as well, and the bullpen was pretty stellar aside from Davis's weary 9th and 10th in game 3. As fun as this tense series was (less tense for Cubs fans than Brewers fans, I'm sure), I'd like to see the Cubs win the first two in STL and then take a few victory laps in the final 5 games of the season.

    Jed has added Teheran, Tyranski, Kissaki, and now Straily and Nico Zeglin today.

    Zeglin is 24 yrs old. Pitched well at Long Beach St in '23 and well in some Indy Ball.

    They also added Reilly and Viets in late ST.

    Have to search for MiLB arm depth anywhere you can and at all times!!!

    25 in Attendance!!!

    Phil, is that a backfield record?

    Also, 6 BBs for Cruz in 2 IP. What's the most walks you've seen in one EXT ST outing that you can recall?

    He has a pulse. Apparently that’s the only requirement at this point.

    cubs sign dan straily...for some reason.  minor league deal.

    welcome back.

    zac rosscup is down in mexico trying to make it happen...maybe they could throw him a contract, too.  junior lake is his teammate.  shore up a bunch of holes with some washups.

    The great thing about going to live sports events is you don't know if you're going to see something historic. Today I went to the Cub game, after putting the liner back in my coat and fishing my Cubs knit hat out of the closet. I needed all that- my seats are in the upper deck, left, so the east wind was in my face. Both teams failed to capitalize on good situations, but both starters did a good job to accomplish this. So, we go to the bottom of the sixth inning. The Cubs tie it up, and then Pete Crow-Armstrong comes up. We all know he would still be in AAA if not for injuries, and future Hall-of-Famer Justin Verlander absolutely carved up the young fellow up in his first two plate appearances. So this time he hits a fly ball. The wind was blowing in and had suppressed several strong fly balls- including a rocket off Altuve's bat that Canario hauled in (does anybody else remind me of Jorge Soler?) , but the ball kept carrying and carrying. 107mph, legit angle and carry. The crowd went nuts, the dugout went nuts. Maybe, just maybe, I saw the first homer from a long-term Cub.

    Which was my original premise. They won the trades but lost their souls. They no longer employ the Cardinal way which had been so successful for so long.

    STL traded away a lot of minor league talent that went on to do nothing in the arenado + goldschmidt trades.  neither guy blocked any of their minor league talent in the pipeline, too.  that's ideal places to add talent.

    Natural cycle of baseball. Pitching makes adjustments in approach to counter a hot young rookie. Now it’s time for Busch and his coaches to counter those adjustments. Busch is very good and will figure it out, I think sooner than later.

    In 2020, the pandemic year and the year before they acquired Arenado, the Cardinals finished second and were a playoff team. Of the 12 batters with 100 plate appearances, 8 of them were home grown. Every member of the starting rotation (if you include Wainwright) and all but one of the significant relievers were home grown. While there have been a relative handful of very good trades interspersed which have been mentioned, player development had been their predominant pattern for decades - ever since I became an aware fan in the ‘70’s

    The Arenado deal was not a deal made out of dire need or desperation. It was a splashy, headline making deal for a perennial playoff team intended to be the one piece that brought the Cardinals from a very good team to a World Series contender. They have continued to wheel and deal and have been in a slide ever since. I stand by my supposition that that deal marked a notable turning point within the organization. They broke what had been a very successful formula for a very long time.

    busch is having a really intense k-filled mini slump.  he deserves better after coming back to wrigley after that hot road trip.
