Phillies @ Cubs: Morgan vs Lester (Game 46)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Bringing it all back home…PHI (26-21): LHP Adam Morgan (1-2, 5-61)
CHC (31-14): LHP Jon Lester (4-3, 2.60)
First pitch: 1:20pmCST

Lester had his shortest and shittiest game of the season on Saturday, losing in San Francisco (2.2 IP, 5 ER, 1 K, 3 BB). It was his worst game since he went 2.2 innings and gave up 7 ER in Detroit last August. The Phillies are 14-63 (.222) against him. Galvis is 3-8 with a HR.

Morgan is not having a pretty season. He didn’t pitch that poorly but lost to Atlanta (6 IP, 2 ER, 1 K, 2 BB) his last time out. The Braves are also responsible for his only win of the season. He was 2-5 with a 4.57 on the road last year. He lost to the Cubs in September in Philly (4 IP, 5 ER, 5 K, 1 BB). The Cubs are 7-18 (.389) against him. Baez, Fowler, and Heyward are all 2-3.

Eickoff (2-6, 3.86) versus Hendricks (2-4, 3.30) tomorrow at 1:20pmCST.

Go, Cubs!

Maddon spins the wheel-o-lineups and Bryant is playing 1B.

The line-ups, by the way, appear in the Twitter box on the left and usually very soon after they are made available.

Probably a good idea to give Rizz a couple of days off (slumps happen to the best -- Harper just broke a 4-for-33 with a HR yesterday). Never been a big fan of an all-RH lineup. The pitcher has the same look and same target for every hitter. At least, as a mediocre HS pitcher, facing a mixture of LH/RH hitters messed me up. A lack of talent and weak-ass stuff may have also been contributing factors.

Just noticed that Baez's current walk-up song is "Informer" by Snow. Dear God. That's world class bad.

ROSS #100! cubs lead 1-5, bottom 4.

No I have been thinking actually that he seems to lead the Cubs with balls called strikes all year. He really shouldn't be expanding his zone to swing at many of those either because it wouldn't lead to anything good. He's seeing the ball well though so hopefully it'll even out.

BTW, CRUNCH, Lester made a nice bh pick-up and toss to Bryant. Did you catch it? He's been workin' on the D!

i was distracted for most of the game and also missed the first few innings. but yeah, any time he makes a good fielding+throwing play on D it's worthy of praise and a trip to pizza hut for a personal pan pizza and $1 worth of songs on the juke box. seriously, i'll take it.

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too.

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I don’t see Tauchman as a weak link in any position. He simply adds his value in a different way.

    I don’t know that we gain much by putting him in the outfield - Happ, Bellinger and Suzuki and Tauchman all field their positions well. If you’re looking for Taucnman’s kind of AB in a particular game I don’t see why it can’t come from DH.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Tauchman gets a pinch hit RBI single with a liner to RF. This is his spot. He's a solid 4th OF. But he isn't a DH. 

    He takes pitches. Useful. I still believe in having good hitters.

    You don't want your DH to be your weak link (other than your C maybe)
