White Sox @ Cubs: Quintana vs. Arrieta (Game 87 Thread)

Submitted by CTSteve on

CHW (41-44): LHP Jose Quintana (4-8, 3.69)

CHC (46-40): RHP Jake Arrieta (9-5, 2.80)

Arrieta beat the Cards (6.2 IP, 2 ER) in his last outing for his second straight win. He is 5-1 with a 2.28 in 7 starts since June 4. The Sox are 13-42 (.310) against him. Ramirez is 5-10; Cabrera has a HR. If he wins, Arrieta will be the first Cubs pitcher to win 10 games before the ASB since Zambrano and Dempster did it in 2008.

Quintana lost against Toronto and the Chicago offense at the Cell on Tuesday (8 IP, 2 ER, 8 Ks, 0 BBs). He is 3-4 with a 4.05 on the road. The Cubs are 3-26 (.115) against him. Teagarden (?) is 2-4 with a HR.

The last time the Cubs won 40 or more games before the break was also in 2008, when they were on their way to 97--whoa! Does anybody remember laughter?

Go Cubs!

arrieta no hitter through 3ip! let's make it interesting...he gets 8.1ip of no hit ball before he's removed over an excessive pitch count. let's go into the break with some needless controversy! wonder how much it's gonna cost to lock arrieta up. at least the cubs have the option to just pay a premium for 1 season if they're not sure about him or his demands are too high.

rizzo HBP for the 19th time. if he's gonna get hit 35+ times a year eventually he's going to fuck up his hands/elbow/wrist hanging his body over the plate so much. it's not like most of his HBP involve taking one in the back. i keep crossing my fingers it doesn't happen.

Thank you Jake - we needed all of that! Mets win again, but post-break they have 10 against the Cards, Nats and Dodgers -- basically, the schedule we already played... Rest up, boys, and come out strong after the break.

47-40 going into the break...all the pitching the team is relying on for a post-season run is healthy (assuming hammel is healthy as they say)...the bats are weak right now, but there's plenty of reason to believe they can turn that around rather than sink...and an already playoff-eligible schwarb is waiting to join up for the stretch, if not earlier. all of that and there's a good chance the club will upgrade some areas via a trade even if it's not a blockbuster trade or a game-breaking upgrade.

Captain Obvious here noting that we saw the REAL ace of the Cubs staff. And to think what they gave up to acquire Jake...stolen!

Nick Cafardo's Cub related stuff from the Boston Globe on Sunday...
4. Chicago Cubs The Cubs need a top starting pitcher, perhaps a big bullpen piece, and a hitter if they’re to legitimately battle for a wild card. They have extra young positional players. They can easily team up with a team looking to give up pitching, both a starter and closer, to make a deal. Getting Hamels and Papelbon would be a coup for Theo Epstein. He’s got the pieces to pull off both. The Cubs match up well with the Mets, the A’s (Gray?), and the White Sox (if Epstein wants to put together an all-prospects package for Sale as he once tried to do for Felix Hernandez when he was Red Sox GM). The Reds are also a fit if Epstein seeks Cueto or Mike Leake.

hamels and papelbon...c.sale (really?)... cafardo gets kicked around a lot, but this is some "out there" stuff...not to mention the SP + pen are the least of the team's worries for weeks. i cant even imagine what it would take to get sale (who's under contract for 4 years at around 12m a year). seriously, bryant alone most likely wouldn't get it done...imagine putting together another package not including him and how much talent that would bleed.

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    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). 

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    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.

  • crunch (view)

    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
