Cubs @ Brewers: Hendricks vs. Davies (Game 9)

Submitted by Charlie on

CHC (2!-6): RHP Kyle Hendricks (0-1)
MIL (7-2): RHP Kyle Davies (0-0)
first pitch 1:10pmCDT

The Cubs ended their losing streak and look to have some actual fun today.
Hendricks suffered that 6 error circus last time out, but he also got tagged for 10 hits including 2 homeruns in only 4.1 innings. He's held the current Brewers' roster to .225/.276/.348 in his career. Eric Thames (.316/.434/.474) and Travis Shaw (.273/.320/.773) have had his number in 41 total at bats.

Davies was limited to 13 starts last season due to back and shoulder injuries. Kris Bryant has mashed against him (.371/.405/.657) and has an opportunity to come out of his slump. Schwarber (.167/.286/.500) has 2 HRs in 18 at bats, but he's also struck out 7 times. Jason Heyward is coming off his best offensive game as a Cub; he went 3-3 with 2 HR, 2SB, and 2BB and boosted his season slash all the way to .370/.419/.704.

The Cubs offense put on a clinic last night and Cole Hamels overcame a couple of inefficient innings to go 6 and get the win. Still, the bullpen kept up the narrative tension. The new guys, Kyle Ryan and Allen Webster, combined with Randy Rosario to allow 6 runs in 3 innings of work. AZ Phil answered the call for relief and dropped some names that we will probably see before the bullpen's all sorted out. Craig Kimbrel is still a free agent. Maybe keep up your criticism of the Ricketts.

The Cubs head to Chicago for the home opener tomorrow against the Pirates, 1:20pmCDT. MIL will send out Taillon, and Lester's turn is up in the Cubs' rotation.

did anyone keep the receipt for that recent hendricks purchase?

i tried digging through the trash for it, but it's filled with gross stuff like coffee grounds and most of the bullpen.

webster+ryan with a nice bounce-back today, both throwing 1.1ip each and looking good doing it.

i'm a huge fan of getting those big bats closer to the top of the lineup.

given how much power is in the lineup almost every game (at least 4-5 regulars), i'm not worried about bryant's power being wasted slotted up front.

as far as him being a little cold right now, i have faith it will get better for him.

Bryant hasn't been the same since he was hit in the head with the fastball.  I was at the game in Pittsburgh when Sammy was hit by a Solomon Torres 94 mph fastball. It shattered his helmet.  Sammy was never the same after that.  He flinched at everything.  And, that's what KB is doing.  He's flinching on fastballs down the middle. He already wasn't a great RISP hitter.  But, he hit HRs.  If he doesn't hit those HRs at a 30 per year clip, I'm not sure he's a key player anymore.  He's not the captain of the team, but he's supposed to the MVP.  He hit the HR in game 5 of the WSeries to keep it going.  It's pretty deflating to a team for "the Guy" to go up there and not produce when needed, repeatedly.

I love Rizzo and Javy, but IMO, as KB goes, the Cubs go.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    This was Jaxon Wiggins previous "live" BP on 4/5: 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING (20 pitches - 10 strikes) 
    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis) 
    one HBP (B. Davis)
    two strikeouts (Peralta & Escobar - both looking)
    three swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    four called strikes
    nine called balls

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS: 
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS: 
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP
