Cubs @ Reds: Chatwood vs Romano (Game 75)

Submitted by CTSteve on

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.

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.

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be savored...unedited. 40 years, wow.
