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.

    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)

  • crunch (view)

    bit of a hot take here, but i'm gonna say it.

    the 2024 marlins don't seem to be good at doing baseballs.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Phil, will the call up for a double header restart that 15 days on assignment for a pitcher? Like will wesneski’s 15 days start yesterday, or if he’s the 27th man, will that mean 15 days from tomorrow?

    I hope that makes sense. It sounds clearer in my head.
