Rockies @ Cubs: Flande vs. Beeler (Game 99 Thread)

Submitted by CTSteve on

COL (42-55): LHP Yohan Flande (0-1, 4.24)

CHC (52-46): RHP Dallas Beeler (0-0, 6.43)

Beeler--aka, our 26th man--started the second game of a double dip on the 22nd (2 IP, 3 ER). In one of Joe’s better moves, he was pulled for a pinch-hitting Bryant in the third inning. The Cubs scored 5 that inning and went on to win 6-5. None of the Rockies have faced him.

Flande started the year in the minors (AA and AAA). This is his eighth appearance this year but the first start. Against the Cubs last year, he went 0-2 with a 3.83 ERA. The Cubs are 6-30 (.200) against him. Castro has a HR.

Other notes: Wada pitched 6 innings on Monday (2 unearned runs, 4 H, 6 Ks, 1 BB). Tulo (and LaTroy Hawkins, who was clearly the key to the deal) was traded yesterday to Toronto for Reyes. Butler vs. Lester to close out the set tomorrow.

Go Cubs!

6ip 4h 1bb 6k for wada last night in AAA...and we get beeler today in the bigs...beeler. speaking of the minors...i thought cj edwards was going to see occasional pen time and still start. he's done nothing but relief work this year (though a lot of it has been multiple-inning work). his workload is weird. he regularly works 2 innings and gets 3-4 days rest in between it.

12 pitches, man on 2nd, 0 outs, 3 runs already in... (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Well, this is a year to learn. We have learned everything we need to about Dallas Beeler. EDIT: And Rafael Soriano. Still struggling to figure out why he got the start over Wada.

after throwing crap nearly all season he has 3 decent games in a row in AAA somehow earning him some mlb starts. he's a right handed crapballer who's only tool is a fastball/cutter combo he throws at a similar speed hoping the batter guesses wrong. he's got a curve, but no one cares about it. wada has to get out of AAA at some point. i don't understand why it wasn't tonight, either.

Well, Beeler probably got the start simply because he can be brought up and sent down easily. Wada is technically in AAA on a rehab assignment and they just went through the trouble of getting Richards through waivers. If one of them started yesterday and then they acquire a new 5th starter via trade, they'd be stuck with Wada on the roster if he wasn't willing to go down (he has to give his consent in advance before being optioned) and risk losing Richards again by trying to get him through waivers just when teams who missed out on pitching in trades might grab him. So we got Beeler for a game.

I expect a trade for a starting pitcher and some roster shuffling over the next few days.

Gorgeous AB by Russell in the 7th. 11 pitches, fouls off 6. Single to opposite field. Fed a steady diet of FB / Change and never got duped. So nice.

Submitted by Cubster on Tue, 07/28/2015 - 07:47 pm

Odd double switch removing Castro who would have batted 4th in 8th inning. No mention on radio but I wonder if it signals a trade coming. Coghlan at 2nd. Also Javy Baez 2 HRs in first game back at Iowa. Lake and Olt also have hitting shoes on.

Total and complete Cubbery: DJ LeMahieu is 13 for 20 against his old team this season.

PHIL: Very sorry you had to watch the medical situation develop, and peaceful thoughts sent to the family of the loved one. Sure puts everything in perspective.

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far.

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.

    i have no hard data, but i'm seeing the same thing.

    there used to be some parks where that was rampant (colorado during the todd helton days comes to mind), but i'm seeing it all over the place the past couple seasons.

    I’ll spare the details which I’ve stated before but, in short, the Cardinals have lost their sight of their successful identity and strategy over last several dominant decades. From the beginning of the season I saw the Cardinals being in last place or near it again this year, and my prediction is that Mozeliak will be gone after the end of the season.

    I would have kept Cooper rather than Wisdom, but at least I can understand why they did it.  In a team that lacks dominant power hitters, Wisdom can be a dominant power hitter, at least in streaks.  I suppose that there is always the possibility that the streaks longer in both duration and frequency.  I will be content if they essentially make a 100 % DH commitment to Mervis against righties and Wisdom against lefties.  When a regular needs rest, give them total rest, rather than a DH rest.  Do this for at least 2 months, and then re-evaluate at that point.

    This is Cubs adjacent but…


    Jordan Walker just was optioned by the deadbirds. For all the talk of the Cardinals development machine, they’ve really missed on a lot of can’t miss superstars lately. Walker has struggled. Gorman has been okay. They’re already trying to push Carlson out the door. Their pitching system has been so bad they had to go out and sign basically a full rotation over the last two offseasons.

    They’ve still developed a few of those pesky solid players, like Donovan, Edman, and Nootbaar. Their two best prospect to MLB players have been Adolis and Arozarena, neither of which is a cardinal.

    I hope they never figure it out again. Cardinal failure brings me such joy.
