Cubs vs. Pirates: Quintana vs. Musgrove (Game 12)

Submitted by Charlie on

CHC (3-8): LHP José Quintana (0-1)
PIT (6-4): RHP Joe Musgrove (1-0)
First pitch 7:056:35pmCDT

If this game isn't rained out, Quintana will make his 3rd appearance and 2nd start. Things have not gone as planned for him, the running theme for Cubs' pitching so far.Joe Musgrove has been a thoroughly average starter in his career to this point. He's generally stingy with the walks, and he has 9 strikeouts in his 9 innings this season.

Jason Heyward has shown surprising power thus far and I'm excited to see if he can keep that going. He launched a homerun to center field in the cold and the wind last night.

As of now, the forecast for today is pretty ugly. Make backup plans.

m.montgomery threw a 26 pitch bullpen today.

he's eligable to come back monday, but they may wait until after the mon-wed @MIA away series to bring him back.

oh blah...scott sanderson died, 62.  he's been sick and bed ridden for quite a while because of compounding illnesses.

maddon has been riding the top step of the dugout all night looking like he's searching for an opening to get tossed from this game.  i don't think he's smiled once tonight.

Bam Bam now six consecutive strike outs carrying over from last night’s 0-4, 4 K outing

You won’t hear it from the broadcast booth though

Caratini continues to hit - getting Willson more rest not looking like much of an issue so far. 

Also: nice hitting by the new guy Descalso - glad to see Q in line for a much deserved win IF the bullpen doesn’t f things up. A big ask I know

aww...rain delay (because of lightning in the area).

cubs lead by 2 after 7 and though there's not much rain this one may not resume.

Q...filthy changeup with slider-like drop tonight.

7ip 4h 1bb 11k, 0r/er, 99 pitches

I was barely following this one and couldn't figure out why pitching was dominating the game so much. Thoughts after watching the highlights: In addition to the good stuff for Q, both starters had the benefit of an extra 3 inches at the bottom of the strikezone. Wow.

Submitted by crunch on Thu, 04/11/2019 - 04:19 pm

wow, the rain came back with a vengence during the commercial break before the 9th.  from nothing to downpour...

Not having to score 10+ runs, and also spinning a shutout, feels like their first bone fide win of the year. And its only April 11th!

Victor Caratini injured left hand on first swing of his last AB. After X-ray, fear is it’s a hamate fracture. Will have CT scan Friday to get more information. Per Jordan Bastian.

blah.

that's something that would make him miss close to or a bit more than a month.

wonder if pj higgins will get his shot...t.davis and f.arcia are crap options and higgins has versitility beyond playing C.

Rewatched the PA where VC hurt his hand... you can see him shake out his left hand after the first pitch. You can also see him start the PA w/ the left hand on the knob of the bat. After the first pitch he chokes up considerably... and still hits the warning track. Tough points for VC!

    per Tribune: Suzuki MRI results pending from yesterday so we should get a timetable for return later today.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.

    Best hitter: IL with oblique strain

    Second best hitter: hasn’t looked the same since jamming his right hand during a swing

    Third best hitter: playing through a sore hammy

    right oblique strain.  ow.  that's generally more than a 10d thing.
