Cubs @ Nationals: Garcia vs Scherzer (Game 141)

Submitted by CTSteve on

CHC (83-57): LHP Jaime Garcia (3-6, 5.93)
WAS (69-72): RHP Max Scherzer (16-6, 2.28)
First pitch: 3:05pmCST

Garcia, who started in the rotation for the Blue Jays, has been pitching out of the pen since July. A 6.00+ ERA will do that to you. In August he pitched 5.2 scoreless innings and picked up a win along the way, so let’s go with that. Overall, the Nationals are 16-74 (.216) against him. Kendrick is 3-4 with a HR.

By matching him up with Scherzer, Joe seems to be aiming for a split of the double bill. We should get a funky line-up for this one.

Scherzer had a no-decision against the Cardinals his last time out (7 IP, 3 ER). He went seven scoreless for a no-decision at Wrigley on August 12—in the Bote game.

Hamels and TBD in the nightcap at 6:05pmCST.

Let's win two!

WAS is letting fans who bought tickets to last night's rain delay game...who nearing hour 2 of today's rain delay makeup...turn in their tickets for a game on another date.

what a mess...

tarp is still on the field for the makeup game and the scheduled night game is supposed to start in 2hr 20m-ish.

walk, K, walk, walk...3 sb...no ball put in play and bases loaded.

chatwood on the bench going "dude, i could do this."

Watching LaStella play 3rd is entertaining.

If we're going to start Garcia and hit LaStella 2nd playing 3rd, why not just fully admit we're punting the first game and playing for the second.  I want a game one lineup of Gore leading off in Left, LaStella 3B, Bote 2B, Caratini 1B, Almora CF, Russell SS, Davis C, Mike Montgomery RF, Garcia SP

chatwood gives up a rbi single to scherzer...that is so damn chatwood.

CHATWOOD!

    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.

    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!
