Cubs @ Brewers (Game 46)

Submitted by Charlie on

With last night's unlikely comeback win against the Reds, the Cubs continued to hold their nearest division competitors at a reasonable distance. The Cards split their doubleheader and remain 3-games back in 2nd place. Milwaukee enters this series at 5.0 games back and needing a series win to keep themselves in the race. They will send their opening day starter to get the series going, but the Cubs will be fortunate the Brewers' surprise best starter, Corbin Burnes.CHC (26-19): LHP Jon Lester (2-2, 5.90 ERA)
MIL (19-22): RHP Brandon Woodruff (2-3, 3.91 ERA)
First pitch 7:10 pm central

Jon Lester has not won a game since his third start, on August 11. He has been absolutely knocked around in every start since then, even in the starts in which he limited run-scoring; he's allowed 40 hits in 23.1 innings pitched in the 5 starts since then. Jedd Gyorko has slashed .321/.424/.679 against Lester in 28 at-bats.

Brandon Woodruff has had a pretty successful 2020, most significantly by remaining healthy so far. He has also struck out over 10 batters per 9 innings and elicited a reasonable portion of opponent contact on the ground, 44.9%. In two starts against the Cubs this year, both at Wrigley, he is 0-1, allowing 5 earned runs in 9.1 innings. Few Cubs have a significant track record against him. Caratini is 3-5 with two doubles. Javy is 1-10 with 4 strikeouts and Bryant is 2-10 with 4 strikeouts.

The Cubs option RHSP Adbert Alzolay to the ATS in South Bend and recall LHRP Rex Brothers, probably because a 5th starter won't be needed again until Tuesday 9/22.

    The Cards also traded for both Jim Edmonds and Larry Walker. It's the developing part that has fallen off. Of course, it could also be the case that there are no more Matt Carpenters left to pull out of the hat.

    Cubs sign 28 yr old RHRP Daniel Missaki. He was in MiLB from his 17yr old to 19yr old years and did pretty well.
    He's been in Mexico and Japan the last four years and has done well also.
    He's supposedly Japanese and Brazilian.
    Interesting sign. We obviously need to RP in the system
    Injuries are mounting everywhere!!

    Sure, they made generally short term trades for established players to enhance what they already had or traded for players early enough in their careers that they were essentially Cardinals from the start. What they never did was to try to use the more established players as foundational cornerstones.

    Essentially we’re saying the same thing. They have given up on player development to the point that even their prospects that make it to the bigs flop so that they have to do things like buy most of their rotation and hope for the best.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    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!
