Cubs @ Dodgers: Lackey vs Urias (Game 170; NLCS Game 4)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Cubs 10, Dodgers 2
W: Montgomery (1-1); L: Urias (1-1)
Series tied: 2-2PREVIEW
CHC (1-2): RHP John Lackey (0-0, 6.75)
LAD (2-1): LHP Julio Urias (1-0, 0.00)
First pitch: 7:08pmCST

Lackey gave up 3 ER in 4 innings for a no-decision in the deciding fourth game of the NLDS against the Giants. He was 4-4 with a 4.37 on the road this year. He missed the Dodgers this year, but they are 24-102 (.235) against him. Gonzalez is 7-20.

Urias pitched two innings in relief of Hill in Game Five of the NLDS against the Nationals and came away with the win. In the outing, he gave up a hit and two walks and struck out one. He went 3-0 with a 3.05 at Dodger Stadium this year. In his two games against the Cubs this year, he went 1-1 with a 4.91. Overall, the Cubs are 14-39 (.359) against the 20y/o rookie. Baez is 2-4, Heyward is 2-3, and Bryant is 2-6--all with HRs.

Lester versus Maeda in Game Five tomorrow.

Go Cubs!

Maybe Heyward starts? I doubt it. His first half looks like a surge compared to his recent production. As a wise guy once said, he couldn't hit the floor if he fell out of bed. Gotta win today. Go Cubs!

Yeah, yeah, Jason Heyward grumble grumble, but let's not single him out as the source of the Cubs failures here in the NLCS- The Cubs, as a team, are hitting .190 in the last two games, and it's not like they are unlucky, hitting into fielders- most of the hits are weak. World Series teams can hit the ball and so far the lineup looks like a foolish AAA team. Exhibit A- Anthony Rizzo gets into a favorable fastball count 2-0 and then proceeds to watch a fastball go right down the middle (last at bat of the Cubs 6th). How many mistakes do you think Dodgers pitchers are going to make? You'll only see 1 pitch like that in an at bat (IF you are lucky). Exhibit B- Javy Baez, in the 4th inning, pops up on 2 pitches on a horribly-placed change up. They're going to have to turn things around quickly because if they keep doing what they are doing, they don't deserve a World Series appearance.

Other than Heyward (although he's 2/3 with a HR against Urias), I like this lineup. I love the decision to move Addy down to 8th. He was 20/60 when batting 8th in the order during the regular season, which was why he was moved up to the five hole in the first place. I really hope that Rizzo's broken bat single off Jansen last night will increase his confidence and build some momentum. Interesting stat is that we've struggled against curveballs, but Urias likes to use his curveball a lot, but opponents hit .375 against it. He often uses it against righties on the first pitch when they're expecting a fastball. It would be nice if we can get sucess of his curveball. And maybe he'll get called for a balk. His pickoff move is clearly a balk. If the Cubs win tonight, I strongly believe that we will win the series. Roberts said that it was least likely that Kershaw starts game 5 if the series is tied at 2, a decision that I strongly disagree with if I were the Dodgers. Lester vs. Maeda is a huge advantage for us and should give us 2 chances to win the pennant at home, which would surprise me if we don't come through. All that matters right now though is winning tonight! Go Cubs! #FlyTheW #NeverQuit @Brick I've experienced the same issue.

Off-topic: I've had to log in almost every time I've visited the site over the last couple days. Anyone else experiencing that? (Usually it will remember me pretty much indefinitely.)

LEAVE NO DOUBT! (Because, there is a fair amount out there). Also -- Rizzo, Zobrist et al -- please shut Joe Buck up. Thank you.

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

  • crunch (view)

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

    rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.

    ...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.

    busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.

    wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.

    cubs run differential getting destroyed.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.

  • crunch (view)

    he's hugging canario in the dugout cuz morel will shrivel up and die if he doesn't hug at least a dozen people a day.

  • crunch (view)

    and morel is injured...nice.

    morel trying to play LF from 3rd...runs into canario while leaping and comes down ribs/arm-first.

    hopefully he sticks around to finish this terrible game, or at least is going to avoid the IL.

    Amen to that last point!
