Iowa... Er, Chicago Cubs Shut Out Astros 12-0

in Chicago Cubs Recaps

PrintOn Opening Day, if I had told you that sometime in midsummer, I would see Randy Wells and Mitch Atkins combine on a shutout at Wrigley Field, you probably would have assumed I was talking about the "Road to Wrigley" game that's going to take place on August 9 between Iowa and Las Vegas (note on that page it still says Jake Fox is a "rising star" playing for Iowa -- maybe that needs to be updated).
Instead, Wells, who is making a strong case for NL Rookie of the Year, threw eight shutout innings, allowing just six singles and not permitting a runner past first base until the eighth inning, and Atkins, in his major league debut, threw a scoreless ninth to finish off a 12-0 shutout of the Astros, the Cubs' biggest shutout victory in more than four years, since they blanked the Marlins 14-0 on June 14, 2005, behind a five-hit shutout by Sergio Mitre. 19 outs today were recorded on ground balls and the Cubs turned four double plays behind Wells and Atkins.
I was kind of hoping Wells could keep his pitch count down in the 7th and 8th innings so he could have a shot at a CG shutout -- you don't see many of those any more, and the Cubs' only CG this year is by Sean Marshall in a five-inning, rain-shortened win over the Pirates on May 26. But with Wells at 110 pitches through eight innings and a fresh arm in Atkins in the pen, it was probably wise to get Wells out of there and rest him up for his next start. Wells' ERA, now 2.85, would rank eighth in the league if he had enough innings to qualify. His eight innings today give him 95; the Cubs have played 99 games, so he'd need to throw a CG to qualify after his next start. More likely, it'll take two starts to get him there, but Wells, who with his seventh win now has more than any Cub rookie pitcher in a season since Kerry Wood's 13 in 1998, has been just about the most consistent pitcher the Cubs have had since his recall. He has gone at least six innings in 12 of his 15 starts and has, arguably, had only one really bad start among the 15.
In addition to Wells, the offense came out smoking in the first inning and never stopped.
The Cubs pounded Mike Hampton for five hits and two walks in the first inning; along with a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly, the big blow was Alfonso Soriano's three-run homer (I guess Soriano's back on track now, wouldn't you say?) and though Hampton probably would have been yanked early in most circumstances, the Astros' beleaguered bullpen status meant that Hampton had to slog through three more innings, taking one for the team, before he was removed for a pinch-hitter. All told he took 79 pitches to get 12 outs, allowed four walks, eight hits, and nine earned runs, including a second homer by Aramis Ramirez. You know by now if you follow me or ballhawk on Twitter that Ballhawk Ken caught A-Ram's HR on the fly, right near the corner of Waveland & Kenmore. He said "the ball caught me, rather than me catching it", but he is being too modest. I watched the ball all the way into Ken's glove and it was a solid catch, very impressive. He said after the game that he caught one from Khalil Greene last year, but can't remember the last Cub HR he caught on the fly. Just got another tweet from Ken thanking Ballhawk Jeff for tracking down A-Ram's car and getting Aramis to sign the ball for him.
By the middle innings Lou had started to empty his bench; the first to sit was Reed Johnson, who left after fouling a ball off his foot in the first inning. Late radio reports indicate that Johnson has a fractured bone in his foot and may be out a month -- calling Sam Fuld, I suppose, yet another Iowa recall.
After the seventh inning, the bench totally emptied out and more players who spent much time at Iowa wound up in the game, including Jake Fox, who drove in a pair of runs with a sac fly and a single, and Andres Blanco, who hit his first major league home run off the RF foul pole in the 8th. Congratulations to him, and props to the Cubs, who can win this series tomorrow and, if the Dodgers can cooperate by beating the Cardinals tonight, take over first place again later this evening.
Final shout-out to a young couple originally from England, now living in Chicago, who are "just getting into baseball", attending the game with one of their dads (sorry, I never did find out which!) -- welcome to Chicago and the Cubs, you sure saw a special game today.

I expect Fuld will get about two starts per week
rotating between LF and CF and come A LOT in the 9th as a defensive replacement.

Actually that is largely how Lou did use him
but yes only 3 starts in I think 20 games so maybe one start a week but Lou got over the " not replacing Sori he is a superstar" thing. He used Fuld often in the 9th for both Sori and Bradley. Heck in one of the one run games he had Fuld in left, RJ in center
and Dome in RF in the 9th. It was a thing of beauty, your heart did not pound 200 beats a minute on any fly ball.

Sorry if this has been discussed to death, but does Wells have a legitimate shot at ROY honors once he qualifies for the ERA title? I’d like to think he would at least be in the discussion.

Zimm
Not sure if he would qualify or not, but I tend to agree with HFH. The Cubs and Cards are going to finish with a better record than the Nats regardless of if either make the post season. Can’t see the ROY going to a guy on the worst team in MLB if there are two candidates on winning teams.

Unless the guy on the bad team...

Postgame interview w/ Koyie Hill...
definately makes me want to root for the guy.
Happy to be there. Happy to be playing. Told Randy Bush, “The way I’m hitting, I’m certainly solidifying my ‘back up catcher’ reputation” and then laughed. Didn’t really care what the team’s record was when he was behind the plate (it’s like 34-19 or something)—gave all the credit to the pitching staff.
Certainly humble and seems like a truly nice guy.

I think the pitching staff should give credit to Hill.
From everything I’ve heard he calls a great game, plus plays outstanding defense. We can live with the .200 average right now because everyone else is hitting.
"You can observe a lot just by watching." ~ Yogi Berra
There are few catchers that have a bat worth caring about.
All I want out of my catcher is good defense, calling a good game, and the ability to sing Z a song when he gets in one of his moods.

How about Lemon Tree? It's a nice song. Trini Lopez as I remember.

I'm really starting to like Randy Wells. He is solid as a rock
every time out and he seems to have that knack of missing the sweet spot of the opponent’s bat. He has that nice smooth motion that seems to be easy on the arm and yet he can throw his fastball consistently in the low to mid 90’s. He is clearly the most consistent pitcher on the staff right now.

Ah so we should give him a break
because he got in the best shape of his life for a contract year and had an outlier season. Everybody knew he would return to a control issue pitcher that walked too many this season.

So is your issue with Dempster or Hendry?

might have had to do with his daughter

He can throw a fastball at 87MPH and make you look like a fool. He can spray lines drives to right field. He can put up with crappy offense and take the loss. He is Randy Wells. He is the most interesting pitcher in the world. Stay healthy, my friends.

Derrek Lee didn't let his issues interfere with his play
Listen I feel awful about Dempster’s personal situation, and certainly its unfair to expect him to pitch like a Cy Young winner while he is going through that crap.
Still, and this lies with Jim Hendry more than Dempster, shelling out $56 million for a guy who has been mediocre throughout his career because he had one good season isn’t smart.
How many times do GMs have to see a guy magically do better in his contract season and then fall off after cashing in before they wake up? Now we get to watch Dempster go 3-2 on every batter and walk himself into a jam every inning for the next 3.5 years.

ROY Question
Is Happ from Phillies a rookie? If so, hands down he deserves it more than Wells. If not, he’s making a really strong point. In fact, had he been on the team since April, we would be saying:
1) He’s the best pitcher on the staff
2) He could be in CY Young running.
He was until about 3 hours ago
Cliff Lee is on board, along with Cole Hamels
"Have You heard of the Boom on Mizar 5?"
Cole is not Cy Young material this year
And Cliff Lee could be in that debate that CC was in last year. Plus Cliff Lee is not as dominate as he was last year.
that is just so wrong
Cliff Lee has only had one start (since his first two) that is not a quality start and LH batters only have one HR off him. His stuff is stiff nasty. He just has a crappy bullpen behind him—a bunch of Heilmans can make any Cy Young turn into Cy Old. I believe his ERA (after the first two games) is under 2.90, and that is in the AL. Pretty impressive—not 3 loss stuff, but on any other team, this guy would be in the Cy Young conversation.
"If it's obvious, it's obviously wrong." - a well known stock market guru
Phillies
With addition of Lee and Pedro the Phillies are going to have a rotation decision to make. Even though J.A. has put up crazy numbers this year, I would guess that he goes into the ’pen based on his success there last year.

But Lee is certainly better.

Would be the best pitcher on the Phillies staff too. Randy Wells could be in the Cy Young running too.

by wrigleyrocker12 on Jul 29, 2009 5:49 PM CDT up reply actions
Agree with this
No reason why Happ deserves it over Wells hands down. Wells had a better ERA over his first 12 starts (which is where Happ sits now). He would have had more wins if the Phillies lineup was batting instead of the Cubs.
Or if...
This Cubs offense showed up earlier in the year.

One of the Jr Ballhawks (Jeff) ran after ARam as he drove down Waveland
Actually, we both ran after him, but I only made it as far as Murphy’s ;-). I handed the ball off to Jeff and he continued the chase. With all the charter buses and other traffic, Jeff caught up with him a few blocks later. Worked out for the best because I’m guessing the odds are better on a kid getting him to sign than a wheezing, gasping old fart…
I did catch up to his car eventually just to thank him, but he was on the phone. I showed him the ball, pointed to him and pantomimed swinging a bat, then pointed to myself and made like I was catching it. He nodded and laughed.

I don’t think it’s that great of a deal. The Phillies give up their 2, 3, 4, and 10 prospects for a pitcher that very well could get rocked at CBP. Sure he had a great year last year, I just don’t think he’s an ace pitcher.

And this will feed the Sori haters
who consistently make up the story that he said he needed to bat leadoff. This in spite of the fact that he always said he would do want Piniella wanted. Lou wanted him there.
these quotes
Of course Soriano is going to say he likes batting 6th now. He probably has old quotes saying he loved batting leadoff.
When teams are winning players will say that whatever is going on at that point is the greatest thing ever.
I understand your point
Saying he prefers leadoff is natural. I bet DLee prefers #3 too. There were also people complaining before last season when DeRosa commented that he preferred a single position but would do whatever Piniella wanted. Personal preference isn’t necessarily bad.
I’m not defendng Soriano in terms of his overall game. Yes, he has holes, big holes. He’s also paid way too much. I just don’t like the constant comments about his selfishness and that he cares for his stats more than the team. He has never shown that. It reminds me of the people that said Jacque Jones was lazy and just wanted his paycheck.
I'm guilty.

The platoon has worked out well for Dome, and he’s been hitting pretty good off lefties. I don’t think they want to expose him again and risk another slump. I’m a Dome fan too though, so I wouldn’t mind seeing if he can handle it.

I'm not going to look it up
But Weaver’s Orioles used platoon everything.
Anyway, to think I was a little worried about facing Mike Hampton today? Why I don’t know.
Tomorrow’s task looks alot easier though facing Ortiz, just have to get something decent from Hart.
Offense is FINALLY hitting. Its great to see. Cubs/Cardinals also sneaking up on the Giants/Rockies for the wild card, my guess is that we won’t have to necessarily win the division to make the playoffs.
Thanks, I thought it would be rare.
I’m not opposed to it as the rest of the lineup is now stabilized. (sans soto)

Wells was fantastic and the hitting was great. Hope they save some runs for tomorrow.

Two items I think are of most importance from baseball today:.
First, our bench was cleared and performed very, very well. This, I think, is critical to our future success and possible playoff run. Lou has shown quite the penchlant to play the old veterans when it is quite clear they need to be given a blow for a few. Our young guys’ successes provide confidence to Lou that they can get the job done.
Second, Cliff Lee to the Phillies. Lee is good. He’s no CC from last year, hell, I don’t even think he’s an ace (I’ll link to his BR-barely above ERA+ 100 numbers when I’m back at the computer), but he makes the World Champs even better, in a divison that totally sucks this year.
