Cubs vs. Angels: Hendricks vs. Stratton (Game 14)

Submitted by Charlie on

CHC (5-8): RHP Kyle Hendricks (0-2)
LAA (7-7): RHP Chris Stratton (0-1)
First pitch 1:20pmCDT

The Cubs send Kyle Hendricks to the mound for his turn to be good after strong starts from Quintana and Hamels. The righty has lost his first two starts and looked generally out-of-whack. We may see Pujols again; he homered yesterday and Justin Bour is 1-14 against Hendricks. Zack Cozart is 4-12 with a HR against him.Chris Stratton made 26 starts last year for the Giants, with a 4.43 xFIP and 5.09 ERA. In his first two starts this season, he's struck out only 2 while walking 6 (8.1 IP). The Cubs offense will try to show off their discipline and maybe some more of the power we saw yesterday.

The wind should help left-handed batters today.

Not an egregious call by the third base umpire. Schwarbs just feeling the heat of letting his team down again. Willson’s at bat was the killer - strikes two and three swinging at balls out of the strike zone  

Also: Cubs did not deserve to win that game. Bullpen is el stinko (4 walks in an inning, two with the bases loaded - you should lose the game on that alone)

Something to keep in mind regarding the Cubs bulllpen...

Brian Duensing and Tim Collins have Article XIX-A rights (both have accrued at least five years of MLB Service Time) and both accepted minor league assignments prior to MLB Opening Day (Duensing accepted an outright assignment and Collins accepted an optional assignment) and so Duensing and Collins likely signed the waiver explained in the next paragraph:  

A player with Article XIX-A rights can waive his right to refuse an outright assignment or elect free-agency if outrighted, but the waiver cannot be signed more than ten days prior to MLB Opening Day, the player has the right to designate in advance which minor league team to which he can be assigned, and the waiver automatically expires if the player is not outrighted to the minors within 45 days or by the 45th day of the MLB regular season (whichever is later).

As this might pertain to Collins, the 45th day of the MLB regular season is May 11th.

Sunday's game is postponed due to weather. Cubs miss their chance to seal another series win and Chatwood might be deprived of a start for now. Make-up date tbd.

Monday 8/26 (day game) would seem to be the best common open date, with Cubs home on Sunday and play at NYM on Tuesday, and Angels finish series in HOU on Sunday and begin homestand on Tuesday.  

This would cause Cubs to play 15 days in a row (well within reasonable limit) and Angels have off days the previous Thursday and the next Thursday as well.

    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!
