Cubs @ Astros: Hendricks vs. Miley (Game 53)

Submitted by Charlie on

CHC (30-23): RHP Kyle Hendricks (4-4, 3.34 ERA)
HOU (37-19): LHP Wade Miley (5-2, 3.32 ERA)
First pitch 7:10pmCDT

Kyle Hendricks starts and plays the role of stopper in the series finale against the former division rivals. After three dominant starts, Hendricks has gone 1-0 in his last two, allowing 7 earned runs but also striking out 13 in 11.2 innings pitched against the Nationals and the Reds. Only Chirinos and Diaz (currently on the IL) have faced him. Chirinos is 0-2. These replacement Astros have been more than the Cubs could handle in the first two games. So, watch out for Some Dude.Wade Miley has been solid for the Astros in 11 starts after signing a one-year contract with Houston this offseason. He's doing his usual thing, getting groundouts and keeping the walks reasonable. He pitched six innings allowing one run and striking out eight last time against the Red Sox. He hasn't pitched a really bad start yet in 2019, but he's given up at least one run in 10 out of his 11 starts. Almora is 3-7 with a HR off of him, but the streaking Rizzo is 2-20. Kris Bryant is 5-11 and there was some talk that he might be back for today's game.

The Cubs have been hitting a ton of homeruns lately, adding five more yesterday, and I don't see any reason to discuss any other aspects of recent games! Dingers, huzzah!

KB back in the lineup (as DH), Descalso out of it. Positive development.

Here’s hoping a Cubs starting pitcher doesn’t suck tonight.

schwarber / bryant(DH) / rizzo / baez(3rd) / contreras / almora / heyward / russell(SS) / bote(2nd)

baez at 3rd...alright, then.

it would be nice to not lose another one to the banged up astros b-team.

fan hit by a foul ball...almora is visibly shaken and the announce crew is practically silent.

cubs win!  great pitching.

MIL had a day off and STL is currently getting the holy hell stomped out of them.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
