Cubs vs. Brewers: Chatwood vs. Peralta (Game 3)

Submitted by Charlie on

CHC(1-1): RHP Tyler Chatwood (0-0, -.-- ERA)
MIL (1-1): RHP Freddy Peralta (0-0, -.-- ERA)
First pitch 1:20pmCDT

Tyler Chatwood leads the way Sunday afternoon. The Cubs will be aiming to walk away victors in their first series, and Chatwood will attempt to build on a mildly successful 2019 campaign. Chatwood recovered from an absolutely dreadful first season with the Cubs (in which he walked over 8 batters per nine innings) to do respectable work out of the bullpen and as a spot starter. He found the zone with his fastball a little more and cut his walk rate in half. In five 2019 starts, he compiled a 3.97 ERA over 22.2 innings pitched. He's held current Brewers to a .535 OPS and is yet to surrender a homerun. Yelich is 4-12 with three walks off of him.
Freddy Peralta starts for the Brewers. He made eight starts for them in 2019 and appeared out of the pen 31 times. In those 85 innings he posted a K/9 over 12 but also allowed 1.59 HR per 9. Across 163.1 MLB innings he's allowed a career 4.79 ERA. In his eight starts last year 28 earned runs. This will be his first start against the Cubs.

The Cubs and Brewers enter the rubber game of the first series in a three-way tie with the Reds for second place, while the Cards are off to a hot 2-win start.

Former Cub minor leaguer Thomas Hatch is starting for Blue Jays today.  2016 3rd pick, believe that was Cubs first pick of that draft.  Will interesting to follow some of TheoJeds draft picks that end up in other organizations and see if the Cubs have had a drafting pitchers issue or if it more an issue with minor league development.

On July 30, 2019, the Cubs traded Hatch to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for David Phelps.

Phelps signed as a free agent this offseason with the Brewers.

I agree, pitchers sometimes take time to develop and the Cubs track record hasn't been strong (if ever).

Watching Jays/Rays game in Tampa.  Weird hearing crowd noise for a game being played at the Trop.

Robel Garcia claimed by Cincinnati today (after we took Derek Dietrich off of their hands this past week).

Vimael Machin makes the Oakland 30-man roster and starts today as the DH. Considered a strong bet to remain on their roster past each cutdown (from 30 to 28 to 26) as a UTIL/PH.

So who is taking Garcia's spot.  Also is Weick really hurt or is Ross going to keep the tradition of the slumping/bad outting that Maddon always sent people to the DL for.  Not upset about the Descalso "sprained ankle" though

I think Wieck is actually hurt. He didn't seem right and who knows if his recent heart surgery is still affecting him.

Garcia lost his spot so we could carry either Rex Brothers or Josh Phegley. I choose to think it's Brothers because losing a player to needlessly add Josh Phegley is stupid.

neat.

I've gotten to game 3 and now have my first Ross gripe. Phegley entering a game before actual worthwhile players like Bote and Souza.

they're calling it a "forearm strain" now.  either way, they expect him to miss 3+ months and it sounds like a serious thing.  i dunno how you go from elbow to forearm considering he didn't injure anything today (start was on friday).  long story short, it's probably TJ time.

Would be pretty cool if Caratini, Nico/Kipnis and Happ keep that bottom of the order pesky and annoying to deal with

Submitted by Cubster on Sun, 07/26/2020 - 07:59 pm

I'll miss Lester at bats. Well, maybe a little Less than missing Zambrano at bats.

    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.
