Submitted by CTSteve on
MIN (35-42): RHP José Berrios (8-5, 3.15)
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.

Cardinals claimed LHP Tyler Webb off waivers from the Padres.

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)

    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.

    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.
