Cubs vs. Reds (Game 44)

Submitted by Charlie on

The Cubs continue their campaign toward the playoffs with another match-up of aces. Yu Darvish and Trevor Bauer face off again. Darvish won the last round on Aug. 29 and has since defeated Jack Flaherty as well. Meanwhile, the Reds will struggle to stay in the Wildcard race and they send their top starter to get the job done.CHC (25-18): RHP Yu Darvish (7-1, 1.44 ERA)
CIN (18-24): RHP Trevor Bauer (3-3, 2.05 ERA)
First pitch 7:15 pm central

Is there a pitcher you'd rather have starting for you this season? Darvish has been not only an ace but Cy Young probable based on his performance so far. He's gone head to head with other team's aces and won a few times already this season. If he continues to pound command his ridiculous mix of pitches and blow the fastball by opponents late, he can defeat any lineup.

Bauer has also been stellar this year, even if his performance has lagged behind Darvish's just a bit of late. Where Darvish has had one middling start this season, Bauer Had two in a row, including his loss to the Cubs at the end of August. He lost in his last start as well, despite allowing only one earned run; his defense lead to 3 more unearned runs benefiting the Pirates. Anthony Rizzo is 6-13 with two homeruns off of Bauer in his career.

The forecast is for another blustery evening with the wind coming in off the lake; it should be a great day to watch these aces contend from the comfort of your own homes.

Yu out of sorts from the very get go. Hopefully just a one inning aberration but a 3 run lead with wind blowing in gives Bauer a big advantage

vargas goes 0-2, barely checks a swing on the next pitch which bounced in front of home plate, then grounded out weakly to 2nd.

welcome to the cubs.

The Brewers softened up the Tigers with 19-0 blowout in advance of tomorrow's double-header with the Cardinals. Detroit used a left fielder to mop up.

cubs shut out for the 1st time in 2020.  boring game.  half an inning of darvish sucking, some close plays at 1st rizzo bailed out, good pen work from kimbrel/osich/adams, and not much else worth mentioning...

    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!
