Open Thread: Cubs vs. Cardinals, Tuesday 7/24, 7:10 CT

Yelloncard_tiny by Al on in Game Threads Comment 772 comments

Seems like forever since the Cubs have played, doesn't it? Well, it's only about 48 hours, but coming off two straight losses, I know I am, most of you are, and I'm sure the players are, ready to take it to the Cardinals tonight. The two teams haven't met since April 28, an 8-1 Cubs win in which Carlos Zambrano threw seven innings of one-run ball. It was also the last day of Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock's life.

Despite the two losses to the Diamondbacks, the Cubs are still 29-15 since June 2 -- the second-best record in baseball since that date (one game behind the Tigers, 28-14, and, surprisingly, only 1/2 game better than the Yankees, 29-16).

Ronny Cedeno is supposed to be recalled for tonight's game, but as of this writing, there are no changes to the active roster list. Jake Fox may be the odd man out, according to tharr's diary this morning, but it could also be Scott Moore.

 Today's Starting Pitchers
Carlos Zambrano
 C. Zambrano
Cubs		 vs. Kip Wells
 K. Wells
Cardinals
12-7 W-L 4-12
3.69 ERA 5.75
117 SO 76
59 BB 50
17 HR 12
vs. StL -- vs. Cubs
Z has handled the Cardinals quite well in his career; 6-4, 2.43 in 17 appearances (16 starts). The last time he lost to them was more than three years ago, on July 19, 2004. Z has been hot, and as the acknowledged "ace" of the staff, it's time for him to step up and be the "stopper", in other words, to stop this baby losing streak in its tracks.

I hate to do this because at times, when the Cubs face pitchers with records as bad as Kip Wells' record is, they seem unable to handle them. But in this case, I'm going to go ahead, because Kip Wells is ... just ... plain ... bad. Although he is 3-3, 3.06 in 14 lifetime starts vs. the Cubs, he has also lost games to them like this one, which is also the last time he faced the Cubs.

Some current Cubs have hit him hard: Jacque Jones (8-for-19, .421/.500/.789, 2 HR); Aramis Ramirez (4-for 13, .308/.357/.615), and Alfonso Soriano (6-for-8, 2 doubles, 2 HR). Wells did throw well in his last start vs. the Marlins on July 18, but that's the first time since April that his ERA has been lower than 5.92.

Today's another cable-only day; CSN in Chicago, FSN in St. Louis, and the Mediacenter.

I figured it'd be Moore.
Fox hits righthanded and can catch. Moore plays 1B and 3B and hits lefthanded. We need more RH hitters on the bench.

He

certainly won't walk anyone or give up 3-run homers.

And he definately won't be pulled

Kip Wells is no push over:
Last Game:

DATE    OPP    RESULT    IP    H    R    ER    HR    BB    SO    GB    FB    PIT    BF    GSc    DEC    REL    ERA*
Jul. 18    @FLA    W 6-0    8.0    2    0    0    0    2    4    15    4    103    28    80    W(4-12)    -     5.75

He is a talented pitcher who has just been over worked on a bad team.

Also the Cubs seem to forget how to hit when facing any pitcher with an ERA over 5.00

For some reason I think this Game will be a one run game.

by Joe on Jul 24, 2007 5:20 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

"Talented" to his Mom
His best years were 2002 & 2003. 2003 he sported a 3.28 ERA in 176 innings.

I do not know where you get the "talented" from. He never achieved his billing with the White Sox, averages about 1.5:1 K to BB, a 9 year AVERAGE WHIP of 1.5 in 9 yrs...

In nine years he is carrying a 4.7+ERA, which is above league average.

This doesn't mean that he could pitch out of his skull and befuddle Cubs hitters, it just shows that what you say is a stretch about the talented Kip Wells.

It is July, and we're STILL IN IT! YES!

Games
like this are painful, when it seems like the pitching matchup is so lopsided that it seems like you can't lose, but always do. I think I'd feel better if Mateo was going against Carpenter for some reason. Or maybe Ryan OMalley. :)

Cards
I really don't like their team, and haven't since the Cubbies gave them Lou Brock for Ernie Broglio :-) but I've been to their old stadium and it was very nice.  The city seemed pleasant also, although it's too homogeneous and boring for me so I couldn't live there.  The fans are actually good baseball fans, even knowledgeable.  They have pretty good sports announcers also.  Other than that, I hate them :-)

My apologies
for suggesting Fox might be sent down. I was merely quoting van Dyck. He's the same guy who just published that our starters are 2nd in the NL with a BA against of .312. Actually we're 1st with a .238.

I guess understanding the numbers isn't a job requirement for reporting the facts.

Let's say you choose to go with the Cubs game with the sound down on the TV but decide to listen to the Brew Crew/Reds game. Which feed do you listen to? The Uke or the Brennamans? I went with Marty and Thom last night and will most likely go with the Uke tonight.

I hope Cedeno

I would love to see Ronny C
Get back up here and play like a real Big Leaguer.
He's a really nice kid who I think often was too busy trying too hard to really think about what he was doing.

I also think Lou needs to use a soft hand with him.  From what I have heard this Kid is his own worst enemy.

I would agree.  Don't start him the first night he's up.  Let me work is way in really slowly.

Couple pitch hits, maybe a spot start next week.

I also think we need to let Fox play a few games in a row to find out if this kid can be the Right handed bat we need or if we need to trade for one.

Soriano has slumped a little since Pie was sent back down? He certainly perked up when Pie arrived.

We can bring back Pie
But you have to trade JJ for a B+ prospect and the Cubs can't pay more than 30% of his salary.

That the JJ to FLA deal might go down as one of the great trades to not happen. The way he's hitting these days, I'm definitely inclined to agree. What in the heck is JJ doing during the ASB to make him such a second-half player?

i think its his confidence
he had a few multi-hit games after the break and he seemed to really relax. its been noted here and other places before that he is a really sensitive guy and doesnt respond well to the booing. in an interview before sundays game he was telling len how he lost his confidence and began to doubt his abilities. but that all seems to be gone as his play continues to pick up. baseball is such an evil game on a guys mind and ego

Not deadly and not a Felony
Steroids, like any other narcotic, are a felony if not administered by a physician. Quite frankly, both  steroids and cortizone hurt you physically in the long run. Cortizone is a temporary answer.

Steriods are not narcotics
They are sythetic hormones  :)

That whole subject is about as grey as it gets
I firmly believe that carefully controlled steriod use would be good for baseball. It helps players heal and get back to playing their best.

Unfortunately any leeway in that area and we get back to the mis-use of the 80's and 90's.

Cortisone is a "steroid"...
...which covers a wide variety of substances. Anabolic steroids are the ones used to build muscle mass, which is what people like Bonds and McGwire and Sosa are accused of using. Cortisone is a corticosteroid; its main usage is controlling inflamation; it doesn't build muscles at all. They're completely different.

He's also important enough in my opinion that even the slightest tweak take him out for the game if the trainer thinks there's even a slight chance of making it worse.

For those who want to know what
happened -- foul ball  into 3b stands, A-Ram tries to reach in, fan knocks it away. If the ball is in the stands, the fan has as much right to it as the player -- but the fan can't reach over.(Let's not go all Bartman here)

Now, if the ball, let's say -- was in in A-Ram's glove and the fan knocks it out -- different story.

I really don't think A Ram would have been able to reach that far in. Of Course, the Buckaroo implies if that didn't happen, the birds don't score. (Batter goes on to get the RBI double)

Excuse me, that's BS. It would have been just a foul ball. He's making story lines that don't exist.

Almost all the numbers...
...say that Koyie Hill has been better defensively than Kendall. Offensively too. Small sample size caveats abound, and career-wise it's no contest.

Kendall sucks so far
but he's no worse than Hill or Bowen.  There's only upside there for us.  Worst we do on that deal is break even.

I'm gonna say this:
Baseball is THE most superstitious game of all sports....period.
Anyone who really knows baseball, knows this.

And people do silly things like jump over the base line...wear their hats inside out...eat rally donuts....spank monkeys (er..uh...was that yank?)   :-)

Why then would you want to predict negative or bad things happening to your team?
I am not superstitious myself, but that action doesn't make any sense no matter WHAT you believe...

I understand what you are saying,
and growing up in a baseball family with a brother who went an entire season without washing his uniform pants I kind of have a feel about how superstitious baseball can be...

That being said, I also am familiar/am somewhat of a believer in the sports illustrated cover curse or similar things...  While in my mind I often think "basehit would score two" if I hear anyone say that out loud my immediate thought is- knock on wood or something to that effect.

what makes you think we have the money to throw at a Posada type who's going to cost 15+ million annually for 3-4 years?

why sign an aging catcher to a big multi-year contract?

people keep assuming we can just sign anyone... last years offseason spending spree was atypical of the Cubs history and by significantly backloading all of those contracts it makes me believe even further that we dont "really" have more money to work with

the roster salary has stayed relatively the same each of the last 5 years

the only thing thats increased is future committments

The Cubs will have to muddle through the rest of this year with Kendall and Hill and then figure out what to do next.

Of course, he gets credit for
driving in that run....but would you want Cedeno as your starting SS/2B man? We saw how well that worked with him and Izturus. Hopefully DeR. is OK....

Maybe I was harsh. He can have a thriving career as an utility man in MLB.

to be fair
while Cedeno was horrid last year in a long extended look as well as early this season, he's only 24

Marmol looked atrocious last year with absolutely no command whatsoever

guys can improve

Ronnie was showing vast improvements at the AAA level and putting up those lines as a SS at AAA at the age of 24 is something we shouldnt just write off
