Cubs @ Reds: Chatwood vs Romano (Game 75)

CHC (42-32): RHP Tyler Chatwood (3-5, 3.95)
CIN (31-45): RHP Sal Romano (4-7, 5.18)
First pitch: 12:10pmCST

UPDATE: Montgomery (2-2, 3.11) will be moved up a day to cover for Chatwood, whose wife is in labor. Good news--and a baby, too.

Chatwood, who had a no-decision against the Dodgers on Tuesday (5 IP, 1 ER), gave up 1 ER over 6 innings and lost in Cincinnati in his first start of the season. Overall, the Reds are 15-47 (.319) against him. Suarez is 3-6.

Romano gave up 7 ER in 5 innings to the Cubs at Wrigley on May 19. He beat the Tigers his last time out (7 IP, 0 ER). For their careers, the Cubs are 12-43 (.279) against him. Happ is 2-3 with 2 HR.

Tomorrow, it’s Montgomery and Maeda in L.A. at 9:00pmCST to start a four-game set, so get in your disco nap.

Go Cubs!

...and chatwood's wife went into labor.

this montgomery dude is pretty good, though.  monday's starter is up in the air.

also, bryant is dealing with a "sore shoulder"

Worst of all, we are done in two games by a guy named Winker.  Bad time for Bad Stropy — probably the worst outing a Cub reliever has had all year, considering the circumstances and lack of pen options. Doesn’t feel like this spiral will end any time soon. 

As the old saying goes: if you can’t hold a five-run lead in the 7th against the Reds, you got major issues.

da fuq...

this team is 2 runs and 3 outs from dropping 4 in a f'n row vs the f'n reds...

bah.

this movie sucked.  let's slash the seats.

Although it certainly looked bad and tasted even worse, if the Cubs do get swept in a four-game series and lose four games in the standings to that team, it's actually better that a non-contender like the Reds does it rather than the Brewers, the Cardinals, or a potential competitor for a wild card slot. 

Remember, in 1984 when the Cubs had the best record in the National League and won the N. L. East by 6-1/2 games, they had a losing record against only one team in the N. L., that being the Pittsburgh Pirates, who had the worst record in the division and finished 21-1/2 games out. 

DFA rather than an Optional Assignment for Luke Farrell, which is odd considering the Cubs did not need his 40-man roster slot at the moment.

That seems like an odd shopping item with Wilson, Duensing, Rosario, and Montgomery on the roster. Montgomery is in the starting rotation for now, but that could change any time. Even if you option Rosario and keep Montgomery in the rotation, does a team really need 3 lefty relievers?

The Luke Farrell move was listed as a DFA on the mlb.com transactions page yesterday and on his milb.com face page as well, but it has been changed today. Why? I don't know. Perhaps somebody at either the Cubs or at MLB made an error and then corrected it. 

This stretch has been rough to watch--so much so that I've opted out of watching frequently. But with Darvish, Duensing, and Morrow injured, Quintana and Hendricks underperforming, Chatwood being Chatwood and also unavailable, a recent double-header, and calling on Luke Farrell and now Duane Underwood to start games, well, a bad stretch is pretty understandable. I don't see a 10:00 pm game in LA curing what ails this team at the moment. Oof.

    morel in the lineup and playing 3rd.

    Richard Lovelady one walk & 20 K, 22 hits but no HR, high ERA, and two-to-one GB to FB in 12.1 IP, so I would guess that's why he got the call. Sort of the exact opposite of Luke Little. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Definitely surprised about Dick Lovelady. He has a phenomenal name but that’s probably the best thing he’s got. I was kinda hoping for Wieck even though he’s apparently still tossing 86 as his heater

    wicks 15d DL...cubs select...get ready for this one...richard f'n lovelady.  lovelady's stregnths include being able to throw a ball left handed and that's about it.

    also little optioned, palencia up.

    Open 40 man spot might see the return of CJ. He’s been okay in Iowa. Teheran has been rocked in his starts this year. SSS of course.

    Wouldn’t be shocked seeing another 40 man spot open with Brewer losing his spot.

    Word is that Counsell thought Mervis and Wisdom got too much work in yesterday so it will be Wesneski.

  • crunch (view)

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

  • Cubster (view)

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

  • crunch (view)

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."
