Cubs @ Brewers: Quintana vs. Woodruff (Game 7)

Submitted by Charlie on

CHC (1-5): LHP Jose Qunitana (0-0)
MIL (6-1): RHP Brandon Woodruff (1-0)
First pitch 7:10pmCDT

Last night, the Cubs lost their fifth game in a row, matching their longest losing streak of the previous year on only the 6th game of the season. This series against the division-leading Brewers would be a great time to turn things around.

Quintana made his first appearance in relief of Darvish on March 30. He looked good, allowing 2 unearned runs in 4 innings while striking out 8. Maybe he can pitch a little more to contact today. The team desperately needs to avoid exposing the struggling pen. Lorenzo Cain has 87 at bats against him and has slashed .280/.314/.415. As per the new normal, watch out for NL Player of the Week, Christian Yelich.


Brandon Woodruff, a redhead with a remarkable beard, faced the Cubs 4 times 2017-2018, apparently (2 starts, 2 relief appearances). Nobody has collected more than 5 ABs against him. He has the typical reliever’s repertoire: a fastball he uses 60% of the time, with a slider and a changeup to go with it. The changeup was good last year, but Maddon will probably get Schwarber and Descalso in there anyway.

"Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports that the White Sox had preliminary talks with pitching prospect Dylan Cease's camp during spring training about a contract extension."

damn...they locked up eloy and tried to get cease.

looks like we're giving the pitcher-8th thing a rest for a game or 20 or who knows

MIL hitting in the bottom 1st, 2 runs, 32 pitches thrown, 2 errors...

great game so far.  go cubs.

Heyward up, runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out. He fouls out and I consider it a good outcome versus a 4 6 3 dp.

I’d like to thank the entire Cubs organization for getting the worst/crippling portion of the season out of the way on the early side. And doing it with gusto!

Q is out on the mound taking monster bites of a s**t sandwich wondering when someone else is gonna get a chance to feast

pen hasn't even gotten up.

This has the makings of a stress free viewing summer.

Home opener will be a bit anti climatic if we are 7 games out of first.

Last 4 World Series winners are a combined 7-20 this year.   At least we are in good company.

Submitted by crunch on Fri, 04/05/2019 - 04:17 pm

at least the bats are ready to play major league baseball.

now we need 4 starters and most of a bullpen to join them.

heyward hit a nice HR tonight...also hit a deep one just foul earlier in the night.

that's a nice change from the weak popouts and almost everything else on the ground up the middle.

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.
