Brewers @ Cubs: Davies vs Arrieta (Game 120)

Submitted by CTSteve on

"We're leading in the division."
"Which one?"
"All of them."MIL (52-67): RHP Zach Davies (9-5, 3.80)
CHC (76-43): RHP Jake Arrieta (14-5, 2.55)
First pitch: 1:20pmCST

Arrieta beat the Cards on Friday (5.2 IP, 1 ER, 6 K, 2 BB). He won against these Brewers in April, giving up 1 ER in 5 innings. Overall, they are 19-74 (.257) against him. Villar is 2-2.

Davies gave up 5 ER in as many innings to lose against the Reds his last time out. He beat the Cubs last month in Milwaukee, giving up 1 ER in 6.1 innings. They are 5-38 (.132) against him, for some reason. Soler is 1-2. Another one of those HRs would be nice.

Hendricks (11-7, 2.19) and the Cubs join Anderson (4-4, 3.42) and the Rockies as the mile-high clubs tomorrow at 7:40pmCST.

Go Cubs!

Substitute Fowller for Szczur in today's lineup and I'd like their chances against a lefty in the playoffs

From Eric S yesterday: "Substitute Fowller for Szczur in today's lineup and I'd like their chances against a lefty in the playoffs" I gotta disagree. Fowler has hit for higher average from the right side in his career. I would put both Fowler and Szczur in against a LHP and Heyward out. I would go Szczur in LF, Fowler in RF, and Soler in RF.

....and that's why you don't walk guys with a big lead. 2 out, nobody on...2 BB and a 3-run jack makes it 5-3. Sheesh. Nieuwenhuis has 11 HR on the year -- 5 against the Cubs.

9 walks and 3 hits (2 HR) through 6ip for MIL...and the cubs still have a 2 run lead. sweet. arrieta really shit the bed after a few nice innings.

Haha! Patton comes from the same, "I'm great in the minors but pee down my leg in the majors" school as Chris Rusin and Michael Bowden!!

yes. hit in the foot, resting tonight. the (not at all) funny thing is he'd most likely be back in the bigs with the cog injury at this point if he would have just reported to AAA.

With 42 games left in the season, the Cubs now have more wins than in the entire seasons of: -2010 -2011 -2012 -2013 -2014 So....enjoy these times! As Bulls fans from the MJ era can tell you -- nothing lasts forever.

Rumor going around that Rob Zastryzny and Felix Pena are getting called up. I hope Lackey is too broken.

pena in/patton out makes sense...zas coming up leads me to believe something's wrong with someone else, though. i think zas is promising, though it seems he's a middle-rotation guy type at best. he's been really encouraging since he moved up to AAA and his control looked a bit more in check. he's got everything but control going for him most of the time. i like him better than his #s even if he might need more time. he'll probably be a nice AAA/MLB up/down injury option in 2017 if his control doesn't go to hell.

I have a really bad feeling that Rondon will go to the DL. I was at the game yesterday and myself and many others likely were very surprised that he didn't pitch in the 8th yesterday. He last pitched in GM 1 of the DH and threw under 20 pitches, so he should have been available if healthy. I can say that I'm one of the few people to see Jake struggle twice and Patton pitch twice (I was at the 7-2 6/23 loss to the Cards). Also, why hasn't Rivero been called up yet? I'm a bit surprised.

he also has control issues and relies very heavily on deception for his effectiveness (like his insane K rate and making batters look foolish on swing/misses). multiple injuries + time off usually doesn't fare well for these types of guys. i'm a fan, but it's hard to project his future with the roller coaster of health he's been on.

    I’ve got Tim’s The Last Out too, along with some other prints of his work.

    Very well played game all around tonight.

  • crunch (view)

    best starter and 2 top hitters from the team gone...and they keep on winning.

    little ahead of myself here, but the RSox got 9 outs to find 6+ runs.

    Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

  • azbobbop (view)

    Phil, do you think Wiggins will start out in ACL?

  • azbobbop (view)

    The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

    This was Jaxon Wiggins previous "live" BP on 4/5: 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING (20 pitches - 10 strikes) 
    one batted ball in play (F-9 by Stevens)
    one walk (B. Davis) 
    one HBP (B. Davis)
    two strikeouts (Peralta & Escobar - both looking)
    three swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    four called strikes
    nine called balls

    Prior to the Cactus League game at Papago Park, three Cubs pitchers threw "live" BP on Field 1 at the Cubs Sloan Park complex, including RHRP Ethan Roberts (June 2022 TJS) and Cubs 2023 2nd round draft pick RHP Jaxon Wiggins (February 2023 TJS).  

    Wiggins last threw "live" BP three weeks ago before being shut down for a couple of weeks, and this was the first time Roberts has thrown to hitters in almost two years. 

    JAXON WIGGINS: 
    ONE INNING:
    25 pitches (11 strikes)
    no batted balls in play
    two walks (Suriel and J. Diaz) 
    three strikeouts (Carico, Lubo, and Escobar - all three swinging)
    six swing & miss
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    14 called balls 
    one WP 

    ETHAN ROBERTS: 
    ONE INNING 
    15 pitches (7 strikes) 
    two batted balls in play (G-3 by Carico and L-9 by Suriel) 
    two walks (Lubo and Carico)
    no strikeouts  
    no swing & miss 
    two fouls 
    three called strikes 
    eight called balls 
    one WP 

    Mat Peters was bumped by Justin Steele from his scheduled game work at Giants, so he threw two innings of "live" BP with Wiggins & Roberts. 

    MAT PETERS: 
    TWO INNINGS 
    44 pitches (23 strikes) 
    five batted balls in play (F-7, L-7, F-7, G-6, G-3) 
    three walks 
    two strikeouts (both Lubo and both looking)
    six swing & miss 
    three fouls 
    nine called strikes
    21 called balls 
    three WP

    wall stole a HR from busch...double.  nice to see him destroy a curve ball.

    upon further viewing, that might not have been a homer in too many parks...it had a lot of hang time, though.
