CHC (43-36): LHP Mike Montgomery (2-2, 3.39)
First pitch: 4:05pmCST
 
Montgomery gave up 4 ER in 6 innings for a no-decision in Cincinnati on Sunday. Overall, the Twins are 2-19 (.105) against the former Mariner. Dozier and Escobar are both 1-3.
 
In his 9 appearances at Wrigley (2 starts), Montgomery is 1-0 with a 5.64 ERA.
 
Berrios shut out the Rangers at home for 7 innings, striking out 12 in the process, for the win his last time out. None of the Cubs have faced him. This might not be pretty.

Getting twinkied to death by 50 year old Joe Mauer - about doubled his season RBI total and its only the fourth inning.

Happy to chip in. Don't really care where the ticket takes him as long as it's out of Chicago. With Baez and Bryant out today, I really don't get starting Giminez and his sub-.400 OPS, particularly with Contreras heating up. Another Joe head-scratcher.

I wonder if a catcher who is good at framing and handling pitchers is on the deadline list. That seems to be what Gimenez is supposed to do, but they need someone who can hold his own at the dish a little too. Maybe something between what Revera and Avila offered last year. It's obviously a pretty minor, niche need--but it might be the only need on the team right now aside from healthy starting pitchers.

ZOBRIST! HR!

playing crap teams is neat.

cubs win!

...also, justin wilson seems to have regressed...4 out of his last 5 outings have resulted in runs. he was on a nice roll of great outings before this started. morrow picks up the cheapest of all saves with 1 pitch thrown to 1 batter for 1 out to protect a 4 run lead.

Dex is really struggling in STL -- in June, he is hitting .130 with a .383 OPS.  For the year, .273 OBP & .548 OPS with only 3 SB (and 2 CS).  His BA has been below .200 since April 17.  His last HR was (sob) the walk-off winner against the Cubs on May 6.  On the plus side, since Heyward returned from the concussion he suffered on that play, his BA has climbed from .227 to .281 and his OPS has gone from .665 to .775.

I feel sorry for Dex. He is stuck in St. Louis and cant hit a lick anymore. His bank account looks fine though.

JHey for June: 306/346/500 - 846 OPS. 10 doubles, 3 homers, including a walk off grand slam.  Previous best month as a Cub was Sept/Oct last year with a 798 OPS.  Currently slugging 434 on the year, higher than both Rizzo (422) and Happ (432)

    Phil: Great to see what Rosario is doing!

    Do you think having Rosario may have influenced/impacted the front office's decision on including Hope in the trade for Busch at all?

    it's so crazy we got a new "barnstorming" harlem globetrotters-type baseball product that was introduced less than 5 years ago and is wildly popular all over the nation.

    a notion left long in the past, unearthed, polished for modern audiences and popular as ever.

    No question right now Alfonsin Rosario is one of the Cubs Top 20 prospects (probably Top 15). Rosario is to the Cubs what Zyhir Hope is to the Dodgers.

    The Savannah Bananas will be playing the Party Animals at Sloan Park in Mesa this coming Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. The games are sold out (15,000+ each night), and berm tickets are going for well over $100.

    RAISIN: In the game versus the A's at Fitch Park last Friday, Mule threw half FB and half SL (16/16), and one CH (which coincidentally was the only hard-hit ball off him -- a near HR line-drive double off the LF fence). FB was 91-94 and the SL (really more of a "slurve") was 80-82, and he got three swing & miss on each pitch (six swing & miss total out of his 20 strikes). So I think it is safe to say that right now, Mule is strictly a two-pitch pitcher (FB/SL),

    Recalled it was sampled in a Nas song.  Did a little sleuthing.  It was a Nas song called "Hate Me Now" that featured Puff Daddy.  Imploring the crowd to hate somebody seems a bit overly dramatic for a keyboardist but perhaps there is some other connection to the song. 

     

    In general there has been a weird overuse of Carmina Burana's O Fortuna in sports and commercials in past decade or so.  Maybe it is a fallback choice if there isn't anything else.   

     

    Sidenote, while the O Fortuna part has become a bit pop-culture cliched; the overall piece is very interesting and rather expansive in scope. I played percussion in a production of it while in college.  There is a rather jovial movement set in a tavern.  In the score it calls for the clinking of beer steins.  Let's just say we did a lot of research to determine the best sounding beer steins.

    ooof...this is just as likely as anything.  professional organists are weird humans.

  • SheffieldCornelia (view)

    Maybe it is only played when the hitter thus far in the game is "oh for two"-na at the plate?

  • crunch (view)

    who was AB when it was being played?  it could be something as corny as playing it for nick fortes because fortes/fortuna...fortes...marlins...fish...tuna...sigh.

    while the cubs organ player isn't a frequent groaner weaponizing the organ song selection, they all dabble in it.
