Cubs @ Padres: Series Thread (Games 60-62)

Submitted by Charlie on

The Cubs avoided a sweep in San Francisco thanks to a pair of homers from the most recent team MVP candidate, Patrick Wisdom. Next, they have a 3-game rematch with the Padres. See below for pitching matchup.

Game 60, Monday, June 7, 9:10 pm central

CHC: RHP Adbert Alzolay (4-4, 3.70 ERA)

SDP: LHP Ryan Weathers (2-2, 2.06 ERA)

Alzolay won his last start, striking out 7 Padres and going five innings with only one earned run.

Weather's took a loss to the Cubs on June 1, allowing 4 earned runs in five innings. Wisdom and Contreras each took the rookie left-handed deep. 

Game 61, Tuesday, June 8, 9:10 pm central

CHC: RHP Zach Davies (2-3, 4.94 ERA)

SDP: RHP Dinelson Lamet (1-0, 2.50 ERA)

Davies took a loss in his last start, allowing four earned runs on eight hits in 4.1 innings pitched to the Giants. He has not yet faced the Padres in 2021.

Lamet had his longest start of the season when he pitched four innings against the Cubs and allowed one earned run and collected six strikeouts. It was a promising outing for a pitcher who has been building up innings very slowly.

Game 62, Wednesday, June 9, 3:10 pm central

CHC: RHP Jake Arrieta (5-6, 5.26 ERA)

SDP: RHP Yu Darvish (6-1, 2.25 ERA)

Arrieta was limited to two innings in his last start. He allowed six earned runs to the Giants before exiting and enduring the remainder of a bout of food poisoning. His previous outing was also a short affair, and a bit wild to boot, when he allowed four walks and five runs, two earned, in 3.2 innings pitched against the Reds. This will be his first appearance of the season agains the Padres.

Darvish takes the mound for the first time against the team that traded him for a season of Zach Davies and a handful of promising youngsters. While the Cubs have streaked their way to the depths of the division, to the top, and now to second place, Darvish has provided the stability at the top of the Padres' rotation that the Cubs have sorely missed. Last time out, he collected his sixth win while pitching 5.1 innings and allowing two earned runs to the Mets.

The Cubs will enjoy a day off on Thursday before returning to Wrigley to take on the Cardinals.

    Phil: Great to see what Rosario is doing!

    Do you think having Rosario may have influenced/impacted the front office's decision on including Hope in the trade for Busch at all?

  • crunch (view)

    it's so crazy we got a new "barnstorming" harlem globetrotters-type baseball product that was introduced less than 5 years ago and is wildly popular all over the nation.

    a notion left long in the past, unearthed, polished for modern audiences and popular as ever.

    No question right now Alfonsin Rosario is one of the Cubs Top 20 prospects (probably Top 15). Rosario is to the Cubs what Zyhir Hope is to the Dodgers.

    The Savannah Bananas will be playing the Party Animals at Sloan Park in Mesa this coming Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. The games are sold out (15,000+ each night), and berm tickets are going for well over $100.

    RAISIN: In the game versus the A's at Fitch Park last Friday, Mule threw half FB and half SL (16/16), and one CH (which coincidentally was the only hard-hit ball off him -- a near HR line-drive double off the LF fence). FB was 91-94 and the SL (really more of a "slurve") was 80-82, and he got three swing & miss on each pitch (six swing & miss total out of his 20 strikes). So I think it is safe to say that right now, Mule is strictly a two-pitch pitcher (FB/SL),

    Recalled it was sampled in a Nas song.  Did a little sleuthing.  It was a Nas song called "Hate Me Now" that featured Puff Daddy.  Imploring the crowd to hate somebody seems a bit overly dramatic for a keyboardist but perhaps there is some other connection to the song. 

     

    In general there has been a weird overuse of Carmina Burana's O Fortuna in sports and commercials in past decade or so.  Maybe it is a fallback choice if there isn't anything else.   

     

    Sidenote, while the O Fortuna part has become a bit pop-culture cliched; the overall piece is very interesting and rather expansive in scope. I played percussion in a production of it while in college.  There is a rather jovial movement set in a tavern.  In the score it calls for the clinking of beer steins.  Let's just say we did a lot of research to determine the best sounding beer steins.

    ooof...this is just as likely as anything.  professional organists are weird humans.

  • SheffieldCornelia (view)

    Maybe it is only played when the hitter thus far in the game is "oh for two"-na at the plate?

  • crunch (view)

    who was AB when it was being played?  it could be something as corny as playing it for nick fortes because fortes/fortuna...fortes...marlins...fish...tuna...sigh.

    while the cubs organ player isn't a frequent groaner weaponizing the organ song selection, they all dabble in it.
