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!

    STL traded away a lot of minor league talent that went on to do nothing in the arenado + goldschmidt trades.  neither guy blocked any of their minor league talent in the pipeline, too.  that's ideal places to add talent.

    Natural cycle of baseball. Pitching makes adjustments in approach to counter a hot young rookie. Now it’s time for Busch and his coaches to counter those adjustments. Busch is very good and will figure it out, I think sooner than later.

    In 2020, the pandemic year and the year before they acquired Arenado, the Cardinals finished second and were a playoff team. Of the 12 batters with 100 plate appearances, 8 of them were home grown. Every member of the starting rotation (if you include Wainwright) and all but one of the significant relievers were home grown. While there have been a relative handful of very good trades interspersed which have been mentioned, player development had been their predominant pattern for decades - ever since I became an aware fan in the ‘70’s

    The Arenado deal was not a deal made out of dire need or desperation. It was a splashy, headline making deal for a perennial playoff team intended to be the one piece that brought the Cardinals from a very good team to a World Series contender. They have continued to wheel and deal and have been in a slide ever since. I stand by my supposition that that deal marked a notable turning point within the organization. They broke what had been a very successful formula for a very long time.

    busch is having a really intense k-filled mini slump.  he deserves better after coming back to wrigley after that hot road trip.

    i know alzolay isn't having a great time right now, but i trust hector "ball 4" neris even less than alzolay based on what i've seen coming out of their arms.

    Neris reminds me of Don “Full Pack” Stanhouse.

  • Eric S (view)

    Happ, Busch, Dansby and Madrigal have a combined 25 runners left on base through 7 innings, with Busch accounting for 9 of those.  Seems like a lot.

    PCA finally gets a hit!  2r HR!!!

    They certainly could be coupled. It could also be the case that a team needs good players at the heart of the team and if they are not coming from one source (development) they have to be sought out elsewhere. I don't see the evidence needed to infer the cause.

    bases loaded for the cubs, 0 out...and no runs score.

    cubbery.
