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)

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too.

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I don’t see Tauchman as a weak link in any position. He simply adds his value in a different way.

    I don’t know that we gain much by putting him in the outfield - Happ, Bellinger and Suzuki and Tauchman all field their positions well. If you’re looking for Taucnman’s kind of AB in a particular game I don’t see why it can’t come from DH.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Tauchman gets a pinch hit RBI single with a liner to RF. This is his spot. He's a solid 4th OF. But he isn't a DH. 

    He takes pitches. Useful. I still believe in having good hitters.

    You don't want your DH to be your weak link (other than your C maybe)
