Cubs @ Cardinals: Lackey vs Leake (Game 13)

Submitted by CTSteve on

The Cubs head into the belly of the beast after dropping a series at home.
CHC (9-3): RHP John Lackey (2-0, 5.68) 
STL (7-5): RHP Mike Leake (0-1, 6.97)
First pitch: 7:09pmCT

Lackey pitched well (2 ER, 6.2 IP) in his win against the Reds on Wednesday. He continues to be the beneficiary of the Cubs offense, which has scored 23 runs in the two games he’s started. These Cards are 23-80 (.288) against him. Pena is 6-20.

Leake had a no decision against the Brewers his last time out, giving up 4 ER over 6 innings. The Cubs are 26-112 (.232) against him. Rizzo is 10-30 with 2 HR.

Hammel (1-0, 6.75) vs. Garcia (1-0, 2.40) tomorrow (7:15pmCST).

Go, Cubs!

I can't watch. I mean literally, I have a conflict tonight. But also I'm super anxious. I will step away and check the scores periodically, like I'm watching a scary movie through my fingers.

I expect Hayward would get nothing but boos considering he supposedly turned down more money from the Cards to leave for the Cubs. Lackey may get a warmer response. Anyway, Cubs 9-3 with Bryant, Rizzo, Hayward, Zobrist all batting around .200. Seems like there is plenty of upside potential still left with this team...though the potential long term weakness is being exposed a bit.

The Cubs are currently 15th in MLB in batting average and 3rd in MLB in OBP. Plus, most if not all of the guys you named were hitting fairly well until the season came back to Chicago. It wasn't an easy week to hit at Wrigley. I was at Saturday's game, and it couldn't have been over 58 even though it almost hit 80 in Joliet that day. Long story short, the weakness may be an optical illusion based on small sample size and, even if not, is still very much offset by the OBP.

Really good thing Fowler fell into their laps -- he has been their best offensive player, by far, so far.

I know the pitching has been great, but when you look at some of these bating averages, the record is amazing. Heyward .188 Zobrist .217 Rizzo . 174 Bryant .250 Soler .216

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!

    Tim. Thanks for remembering Lee Elia Day. It will always be one of the most epic rants in all sports.  It took about 3 seconds to recognize him from your picture but I  did get it right. 

    Now that Les Grobstein is no longer with us, that might contribute to this grand piece of Cubbery fading.

    Just like fine wine, it should be savored...unedited. 40 years, wow.
