For discussion of the move of Ryan Dempster to the DL, go to this post.
While many of you are otherwise interested in discussing the upcoming change in ownership, the reality is that there are likely going to be many months going by before the handshakes happen in public and the keys are figuratively (or literally) handed over. For now, it's business as usual, and with 24 days till the non-waiver trading deadline, things may be pretty quiet:
General manager Jim Hendry hinted on Monday the Cubs may not do much at the trading deadline, whether the Ricketts family is officially in control of the team or not.
"I've always said I'll wait until the owner is in place to talk about what he may or may not want to do," Hendry said. "At the same time, look at our roster today -- we have a pretty good team. If our guys all play like we're capable of, most of them, you don't have to do a whole lot of things. There aren't a whole lot of places to fit somebody in if we perform the way we're supposed to."
Obviously, Hendry's stretching it a bit -- this team could use some bullpen help and another bat, but it is also clear that several Cubs (Alfonso Soriano, Milton Bradley, Mike Fontenot and Geovany Soto) are well below their norms. The other complicating factor is the number of teams still considering themselves in playoff contention. As of the start of play tonight there are 22 teams within six games of a playoff spot. More than half of those are legitimate contenders, and the rest are one hot streak away from contention. How many of those teams are selling right now? None. I wouldn't expect anything major to happen before the All-Star break, and maybe not until a couple of days before the deadline of July 31. This isn't a year like last, when CC Sabathia and Rich Harden were dealt into the NL Central within a couple of days of each other in early July.
In the meantime there are games to be won, beginning tonight.
| Today's Starting Pitchers | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Braves have won only two of Javier Vazquez's last eight starts; the primary reason for that is that they have scored a total of 16 runs in those starts. Two of those runs were scored for him in the rainout makeup game vs. the Cubs in Atlanta on June 22, resulting in a 2-0 Braves win during the Cubs' non-run-scoring period last month. The on-fire Derrek Lee loves to hit vs. Vazquez (23-for-51, .396, seven doubles, three HR).
Z last faced the Braves on June 12, 2008 at Wrigley Field. Even one year later there has been significant turnover on the Atlanta roster; check out the boxscore (that was the game the Cubs won when Reed Johnson got hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the 11th inning). Lifetime Z is 2-2, 4.62 in 10 career starts against the Braves. Jeff Francoeur, who has been benched recently, might get the start as he has homered twice off Z in 14 career AB. (Note: Z's total of 20 games appeared in includes his six PH appearances.)
Today's game will be available nationally on WGN; the EI feed likely gets SportSouth. For other games today see the MLB.com Mediacenter.

Wasn't Z's last start against the Braves

Missed the Demp news earlier...
But just scanned the thread and saw people say a number of different things. Is there any official word as to how long he’ll be out?
by kanderber on Jul 7, 2009 5:11 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
looking at 4-6 weeks
with the break, Demp’s hoping to only miss 3 starts

Huh?
How does a month to a month and a half equate to 3 missed starts?? Or are you saying that the word is 4-6 weeks, with him hoping to return sooner?
by kanderber on Jul 7, 2009 5:18 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
exactly.
plus with the AS break thrown in there. He injured it jumping over the dugout railing after a win. A “cubbie occurence” for sure!

Demp apparently told the media that...
…he hopes to miss only three starts and that it’s “all about pain tolerance.”

I know Al said he likes the matchup
because of Vazquez’ career ERA at Wrigley, but he scares me. He’s a damn good pitcher when he’s on…

His strikeout numbers are crazy.
His ERA is really good, too. Classic example of why W/L record for pitchers is so misleading.

As we saw last night after he settled in after the 2nd. We did to him what we did to a lot of good pitching last year: jumped on ’em early and held tight to the lead. I recommend we do exactly the same to Vazquez.

Javier is pitching out of his mind right now.
His ERA+ this year is over 30 points higher than his career average. Let’s bring him back to reality tonight.

I'll be interested to see how Lou handles Z
You want him to go fairly deep into the game because Hart’s starting tomorrow. But Z’s on short rest. I’m guessing Lou wants six innings, and probably not much more or much less.
by elgato on Jul 7, 2009 5:16 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
good point
I’d expect to see the Braves’ hitters take a lot of pitches early because of this, because pitch count will be an issue with Z tonight.

he showed some maturity/guts in his last start
He didn’t have his best stuff and he was coming off the awful start on the South Side. Maybe he’s at a good mental place at the moment?
With Z, who really knows?
by elgato on Jul 7, 2009 5:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
He may be better than you think. He hasn't had to sit around all
day thinking about tonight’s start. He will not be as strong, so his ball might sink a little more tonight. Sometimes guys pitch better when they have to emergency start under these types of conditions.

I know he's sucking this year... but his career splits as a LH are great.
Put him out there, and let him work through it. Otherwise, you’re paying $30 mil for a platoon player. Yay.

How many days of rest does he need?
The guy’s already missed 14 games. Meanwhile, Soriano is in obvious need of some rest, and yet Lou keeps trotting him out there, even though he can barely run.

I think with this lineup
Lou is going for the sweep instead of 2 out of 3. Tomorrow the team figures to give up a few more runs with Hart getting the start, so he’s giving Geo and Milton the night off tonight, hoping Z can hold them and we can get by with less offense.
