Cubs @ Cardinals: Lackey vs Wacha (Game 158)

Submitted by CTSteve on

CHC (88-69): RHPJohn Lackey (11-11, 4.67)
STL (82-75): RHP Michael Wacha (12-8, 4.00)  
First pitch: 6:00pmCST

Oh, good—another game on ESPN.* 

Lackey gave up 3 ER in 4 innings in Milwaukee on Friday and managed to avoid looking like a lunatic. In three starts against the Cards this season, he’s 1-0 with a 3.57. Overall, they are 27-122 (.221). Diaz is 6-15, and Pham is 1-1 (a HR). 

Wacha had a no-decision his last time out (5 IP, 2 ER, 4 K, 1 BB). He’s 0-2 with a 7.88 in three 2017 starts against the Cubs. Nice. Rizzo is 17-36 with 3 HR (.472)—and should bat as often as he likes.

Hendricks (7-5) and Lynn (11-8) close out the season series tomorrow at 6:00pmCST.

Go Cubs!

This may very well be the last start of Lackey's career -- make it a good one, Big John!

I won't panic, I will stay completely logical. Thursday I will go to local sports bars where I was at when Cubs clinched a World Series birth and where I watched most of Game 7 (left during rain delay, celebrated at home, not sure they wanted me at the bar any longer). I will drink the same adult beverage(s) and sit in the same seat. I will order the same slice of pizza from the same place next door. I don't panic, I turn to rational facts and truths. Pure effin' science.

j.wilson has a "sore neck" and w.contreras is sitting because of his banged up knee. almora is supposedly okay.

Oh Yeah!!!!!!!!!! WWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Really great job to make it through Cubs!

Now, about those 3 rockets Davis gave up in the 9th.....naahhhh, time to celebrate!

Submitted by Sonicwind75 on Wed, 09/27/2017 - 09:13 pm

Great to be going into the playoffs with Dusty as the manager . . . of the other team!

Is it nice to have Addison Russell back? Yes. Yes it is. He opened the floodgates Monday and won today's game. He may never hit for a high average, but there's thunder in that bat.

Addison’s swing has looked very short to the ball lately. He’s hitting the ball where it’s pitched. Game one in STL with the bases clearing triple to RF, and then pulling the HR down the LF field line tonight. Hope his approach just stays like that the rest of the way.

MIL lost and e.thames had to leave in the 8th after fouling one off his foot. 3 games back on the wildcard. looks like their hell of a season is coming up short.

A lot of young talent, but they have gone 33-34 since the AS break. It will be interesting to see how they handle expectations next year-- and if Thames, who caught the league by surprise but has cooled off considerably (OPS: .936 pre-break, .786 post break, HR:23 pre-break, 8 post-break) can adjust.

So happy the Cubs are back in the playoffs after that first-half (relative) suckitude! We are pretty lucky to be able to watch this team.

    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).

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
