Mariners @ Cubs: Miley vs Arrieta (Game 103)

Submitted by CTSteve on
The Cubs (and the good Arrieta?) face another lefty. SEA (51-50): LHP Wade Miley (6-8, 5.23) CHC (62-40): RHP Jake Arrieta (12-4, 2.76) First pitch: 1:20pmCST Arrieta had a no-decision against the Sox on the Southside on Monday (6 IP, 4 ER, 6 K, 2 BB). He’s 0-2 with a 5.55 for the month. The Mariners are 14-69 (.203) against him. Cruz and his PEDs are 4-10 with a HR. Miley lost in Toronto his last time out (6 IP, 2 ER, 4 K, 2 BB), to complete a string of 6 straight losses. Youch. He’s 3-4 with a 5.46 on the road this year. The Cubs are 12-56 (.214) against him. Fowler is 6-17 with a HR. Hernandez (5-4, 3.45) versus Hendricks (9-7, 2.39), ruined by ESPN tomorrow at 7:08pmCST. Go Cubs!

IMO Jake is really the key to winning the World Series, but maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on one player.

He was a big key to the crazy start, a big key to the end of last year, a big key in not beating the Mets (although lots of help from a tired inexperienced team there), so although the team as a whole can get through a series with a good Jake it will be tough with a bad Jake. I don't think it's realistic to have the insanely great Jake again, but maybe it is. Seeing today's box score it appears maybe it is - but I haven't been able to tune in yet.

this game is f'n flying by. also, "Hernandez (5-4, 3.45) versus Hendricks (9-7, 2.39), ruined by ESPN tomorrow at 7:08pmCST." gets 1000 upvotes and a gold star.

Looking for Bryant to break up another no-no with a long fly ball in the sixth. But any hit will do.

It's the law of baseball -- if you score 10+ runs in a game, you must struggle to score in the next game. Particulalry against an inferior pitcher.

Miley thru six: no hits, no walks, 8 K's - one batter (Bryant) reached on a error by Seager (hard hit but clearly an error). At 71 pitches

Complete craziness bottom seven. Bottom line Cubs were fortunate to score a run And of course Arrieta walks the first two batters in the eighth (to be fair he was totally squeezed on Zunino's walk to start the inning)

That second walk he gave Up was awful though with no pitches even close to being a strike. He was trying to pitch around bunt and that almost never works. That said Rondon should have been brought in after the first walk and should have been left in to finish the inning because he was looking like he had good stuff.

First time I've ever seen a base running slump -- he's made some poor decisions recently, but I thought it was a great idea to try to score there -- it's not like Heyward was going to get a 2-out hit against a LHP. Sliding feet-first into home is probably the safe (ugh) way to go, but it's hard to get the foot on the plate.

Submitted by Eric S on Sat, 07/30/2016 - 07:03 pm

Clearly the Cubs need to clear out the farm and trade for another closer Where's Ed Lynch when you need him?

Submitted by billybucks on Sat, 07/30/2016 - 07:26 pm

Wow -- Chapman gives up a hit and everything completely caves in. I think the Cubs went into collective shock. Stolen base with the pitcher holding the ball, WP that should have been caught or blocked, then Russell with a 2-out error on a routine play. Cubs handed them 2 runs. Throw in a Fowler bobble and it was a mess. Hopefully, that is all out of their system now -- let's get a W tomorrow.

"Diamondbacks designated RHP Josh Collmenter for assignment." aww...he was my 2nd favorite crapballer. his control issues are rather severe at the moment.

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.

    he's hugging canario in the dugout cuz morel will shrivel up and die if he doesn't hug at least a dozen people a day.

  • crunch (view)

    and morel is injured...nice.

    morel trying to play LF from 3rd...runs into canario while leaping and comes down ribs/arm-first.

    hopefully he sticks around to finish this terrible game, or at least is going to avoid the IL.

    it's a "for cash considerations" trade.

    cooper is a 1st/DH only type, but that's practically a freebie for BOS.  i was expecting some AAA fodder gamble on the same level rather than cash.  he showed up decent in spring + his limited time with the cubs.

    given BOS's extreme need for a 1st, this is a steal for them.

    Red Sox get G Cooper, I doubt if the Cubs get anything in terms of personnel.

    An excellent Earl Weaver chain smoking reference.
