Cubs @ Marlins: Quintana vs. López (Game 16)

Submitted by Charlie on

CHC (6-9): LHP José Quintana (1-1, 5.14 ERA)
MIA (4-13): RHP Pablo López (1-2, 6.60 ERA)
First pitch 6:10pmCDT

Quintana is coming off a win against the angels in which he pitched 7 innings and struck out 11. He'll try to continue the stretch of decent starting pitching that the Cubs have sorely needed. The strikeouts in his last start stand out, but he also collected 8 SOs in 4 innings in his relief appearance on March 30. He sports a 14.14 K/9 and 4.50 BB/9. The Marlins have collectively slashed a paltry .200/.328/.382 against him in 55 at bats, with Starlin Castro contributing an 0-18 and 3 walks.López makes his 4th start this season and the 14th of his MLB career. He's got a groundball repertoire (fastball/sinker, changeup, and curve), but he's collected 17 strikeouts in 15 IP this season, and he sends his fastball up there in the mid-90s. No Cub has faced him. He's posted reverse splits in the majors and the big difference is slugging. Given that sample isn't giant, I'd be surprised if Maddon takes it too much to heart. Still, it might be a good idea to get the low-ball hitting Bote in there. Contreras and Heyward continue to be the hot hands in the lineup.

.500 is on the horizon—go Cubs! (May this game feature less pinball.)

Good ole Starlin Castro.  Not that he was ever my favorite Cub, nor do I ever feel too bad for somebody who makes millions of dollars playing baseball but seriously, guy was part of really bad Cubs teams, then the mediocre/rebuilding Yankee teams and now the Marlins.  He has to own some sort of record for being part of a worst team winning %.

MIKE W: Blake Swihart would certainly fill a present need (athletic back-up catcher who can also play four-corners - 1B-3B-LF-RF), but the Cubs would have to pre-emptively acquire him via trade before he goes onto Outright Assignment Waivers, because otherwise he'll surely get claimed by another club with a better waiver claim priority than the Cubs have. And it might cost the Cubs a prospect like Trent Giambrone or P. J. Higgins to get Swihart in a trade. And if the Cubs were to acquire him, Swihart is out of minor league options.

that is one of the most impressively odd-in-the-worst-way pitching lines i've ever seen.

Somebody give me a nudge when one or preferably both of Bryzzo are batting above .250 - m’kay, thanks!

not bad for a spring training warmup vs a AAA team...oh wait, this MIA squad is a regular season MLB team...really?  okay.  good job Q.

    Is it just me or does it seem that official scorers are becoming less likely to call a misplay an error? 

     

    Guess I've hit my cranky old-man phase in life.  "I remember back in the day when an error was an error.  Official scorers have gone soft.  Now where did I put my readers?!!??"

     

    Sidenote, maybe Bellinger should be a little more careful against the Astros.  That was the series last year that a play at wall put him on the IL.

    i hated the almonte pickup, but he's 9-10 out of 12 for good outings, following a great spring.  hope he can keep it up.

    i already miss cooper, but yeah...the thin OF roster backup the team seems to want to carry probably got wisdom preference over cooper.  i could live without seeing wisdom at 3rd unless it's a blowout, though.

    Things I've been wrong about:

    -Tauchman is fine as a 4th OF. I knew that. I just want a better LH DH option and he was really the DH for us until Seiya got hurt. I'm glad Mervis is getting a chance at it. Caissie is coming for that job for sure. But Tauchman continues to be highly useful as a 4th OF with Seiya being hurt

    -I wanted Yency to go to get guys at Iowa a chance. Guys like Palencia and Sanders or RileyT. Maybe even Hodge! But Yency has been better the last two plus weeks. He did hit 96 the other day. He was 93 in Texas to open the season.

    -Leiter has his split working enough. It just needs to stay there

    -I was surprised Jed picked Wisdom over Cooper. I wonder if this happens if Seiya wasn't hurt. Wisdom has more power. Cooper is the better hitter. Jed picked Wisdom and Wisdom had an option left as well.

    -Palencia just doesn't miss enough bats. Similar to ManRod, just two yrs younger. ManRod is killing AAA for TB right now!

    Things I got right so far:

    -Hendricks. Sorry Kyle. You got paid though!

    Jed, you missed there.

    -Smyly. If Jed could've traded him before or during ST, then he should have and saved some cash.

    -Mastro.  Not a LH DH. Pinch runner. Defensive utility. Maybe he's better than Madrigal but didn't get a legit chance to prove it.

    -Luke Little is good. He's had one bad outing. That's it. Needs to get better entering with guys on base. But he needs to stay in MLB.

    -Oh yeah....Morel is doing fine at 3B! He'll get better as well!!

    bellinger "right rib contusion"

  • Childersb3 (view)

    South Bend just lost the lead in the bottom of the 9th on the weirdest scenario, ever.

    It's absolutely pouring rain....men on 1st and 2nd, 1out....JPatterson asks for a new ball, but no time out was called....he throws the old ball toward the dugout (not sure if it rolled out of play).....the ump declares the runners get two bases each so one run scores. Then a single up the middle ties the game.

    The rain was coming down in buckets at this point.

    Just weird

  • crunch (view)

    ...and bellinger is gone in the 7th because of that 2nd blown chance and the wall he bounced off of...

    hopefully his rib cage/shoulder feels better tomorrow, we just got happ back.

    Phil,

    Any thoughts on Y. Rojas' stuff and Y. Melendez's game (I believe I've asked about him before, sorry)?

  • crunch (view)

    wow, things are moving fast.  hopefully it continues.

  • crunch (view)

    morel with 4 clean plays in 4 innings...showed off his 100000000mph arm a couple times.

    cody bellinger not having a good 4th, though...5 run leads are handy when your CF is making your pitcher have a 5-out inning.  2nd blown chance was ruled a hit even though it went in/out of his glove...1st was lost in the lights, also ruled a hit.

    welcome back happ!  double off the wall 1st PA back.
