Dodgers @ Cubs: Kazmir vs Arrieta (Game 50)

Submitted by CTSteve on

Arrieta follows the bullpen in the rotation.LAD (27-25): LHP Scott Kazmir (4-3, 4.84)
CHC (35-14): RHP Jake Arrieta (9-0, 1.72)
First pitch: 7:05pmCST

Arrieta had his worst outing of the year on Wednesday in St. Louis (5 IP, 4 ER, 4 K, 1 BB) but came away with a win anyway, after the Cubs scored 9 runs. The last time he saw the Dodgers, he was wearing a mustache onesie and celebrating his first no-hitter. The Dodgers are 14-72 (.194) against him. Crawford is 5-14 with a HR, and Gonzalez is 5-18 with a HR. Utley is 0-10; if he's lucky, he'll get the day off.

Kazmir beat the Reds (6 IP, 1 ER, 12 K, 2 BB) his last time out. He’s 2-0 with a 6.26 so far on the road this year. The Cubs are 2-21 (.095) against him. Zobrist is 1-8, and Fowler is 1-9.

Bolsinger (1-1, 4.50) versus Lester (5-3, 2.48) tomorrow at 7:05pmCST.

Go, Cubs!

Before Wood,Strop, Rondon yesterday Elias: 99 yrs. since a bullpen threw at least 7 perfect innings. last time 6/23/17 by Boston. Ernie Shore retired last 26 after Babe Ruth ejected for arguing balls and strikes after walking lead off hitter. Runner was caught stealing.

watching a game on ESPN is one of the worst things a fan of whatever team is on the field can do...this is, once again, turrible.

Is Jessica Mendoza still announcing for ESPN? She is excellent from what I remember and actually talks knowledgeably about baseball.

yeah, she's not on this game, though. they keep talking about things that aren't this game...a lot...rather than calling this game, doing split screen coverage of other games, doing split screen studio banter, and they just finished cutting away from the game totally (no split screen) to cover another game while missing rizzo's K and the first 2 pitches of zobrist's AB. ESPN...because screw you, you weren't really tuning in to watch this.

I'm thinking Kazmir did not get the memo he was supposed to pitch like a tomato can tonight. Jeesh

Vin Scully sang the seventh-inning stretch. Along with all the great things he is known for, he can sing! He sounded like Willie Nelson out there. And he gave a nice shout-out to Harry. What a class guy.

Thru seven innings the Cubs have more errors than hits and Zobrist has struck out 3 times. And now Richard is pitching. These things do not add up to victory

Submitted by Eric S on Tue, 05/31/2016 - 05:50 pm

I'll give this to Richard: he looks the part of a good pitcher, straight out of central casting. It's a shame he struggles with the getting guys out part of the game.

Submitted by The E-Man on Tue, 05/31/2016 - 05:56 pm

Ahhh Richard with your 6.00+ ERA as a short reliever... You ain't gonna be on no Playoff roster.

g.soto is doing horrible in AAA...unfortunately. unless they decide to bring up g.concepcion or make a trade we might have richard around a little longer. ...that said, it wouldn't surprise me to see him DFA'd after the game...the "lefty specialist" just let 3 lefties in a row get on base. ugg.

Oof -- ugly game at the plate and from the pen, which was the hero yesterday. Sorry Jake -- you deserved better.

    Things I've been wrong about:

    -Tauchman is fine as a 4th OF. I knew that. I just want a better LH DH option and he was really the DH for us until Seiya got hurt. I'm glad Mervis is getting a chance at it. Caissie is coming for that job for sure. But Tauchman continues to be highly useful as a 4th OF with Seiya being hurt

    -I wanted Yency to go to get guys at Iowa a chance. Guys like Palencia and Sanders or RileyT. Maybe even Hodge! But Yency has been better the last two plus weeks. He did hit 96 the other day. He was 93 in Texas to open the season.

    -Leiter has his split working enough. It just needs to stay there

    -I was surprised Jed picked Wisdom over Cooper. I wonder if this happens if Seiya wasn't hurt. Wisdom has more power. Cooper is the better hitter. Jed picked Wisdom and Wisdom had an option left as well.

    -Palencia just doesn't miss enough bats. Similar to ManRod, just two yrs younger. ManRod is killing AAA for TB right now!

    Things I got right so far:

    -Hendricks. Sorry Kyle. You got paid though!

    Jed, you missed there.

    -Smyly. If Jed could've traded him before or during ST, then he should have and saved some cash.

    -Mastro.  Not a LH DH. Pinch runner. Defensive utility. Maybe he's better than Madrigal but didn't get a legit chance to prove it.

    -Luke Little is good. He's had one bad outing. That's it. Needs to get better entering with guys on base. But he needs to stay in MLB.

    -Oh yeah....Morel is doing fine at 3B! He'll get better as well!!

    bellinger "right rib contusion"

  • Childersb3 (view)

    South Bend just lost the lead in the bottom of the 9th on the weirdest scenario, ever.

    It's absolutely pouring rain....men on 1st and 2nd, 1out....JPatterson asks for a new ball, but no time out was called....he throws the old ball toward the dugout (not sure if it rolled out of play).....the ump declares the runners get two bases each so one run scores. Then a single up the middle ties the game.

    The rain was coming down in buckets at this point.

    Just weird

  • crunch (view)

    ...and bellinger is gone in the 7th because of that 2nd blown chance and the wall he bounced off of...

    hopefully his rib cage/shoulder feels better tomorrow, we just got happ back.

    Phil,

    Any thoughts on Y. Rojas' stuff and Y. Melendez's game (I believe I've asked about him before, sorry)?

  • crunch (view)

    wow, things are moving fast.  hopefully it continues.

  • crunch (view)

    morel with 4 clean plays in 4 innings...showed off his 100000000mph arm a couple times.

    cody bellinger not having a good 4th, though...5 run leads are handy when your CF is making your pitcher have a 5-out inning.  2nd blown chance was ruled a hit even though it went in/out of his glove...1st was lost in the lights, also ruled a hit.

    welcome back happ!  double off the wall 1st PA back.

    oh yeah, totally, i was just chiming about why i fan like i fan.

    i would like nothing more than hendricks to keep on hendricks'ing.  guys with his stuff can throw for a long, long time as long as it works.

    he velocity is actually up a minor amount this year.  it's really "damn" when a guy like him not only has gas in the tank, but it's looking like it was years ago.  he added a curve a few years ago and it helped a little bit, but he's throwing it less and less while the fb/change combo are less effective.

    CRUNCH—There is no one person in this community I’m talking about.  My remarks were not directed at you or anyone, but at a tone I’ve noticed lately. 

    You have a great, dry sense of humor and there is thought behind your comments.   You and I don’t always agree but I always understand your position.  

    Lastly, and I’ll be quiet, I agree with you on Hendricks.  We can dislike the recent performance but still love the guy.  Lots of questions about his future.
