9/14 Cubs (Zambrano) @ Cards (Wainwright) 7:10 CDT CSN/720

[UMFan83]

Interesting....here is Wainwright's numbers against the Cubs this season:

 

4/22 - 5.1 IP 7 ER

4/28 - 4.1 IP 6 ER

7/25 - 5.0 IP 6 ER

 

Total - 0-2 11.66 ERA

 

We've rocked him around. Here are the starts where he has give up the most ER:

 

8 - LAD

7 - CHC

6 - CHC

6 - CHC

5 - CIN

4 - KC

4 - PIT

3 - WAS

 

Every one of his other 20 starts he has allowed 2 ER or fewer. So 3 of his 4 worst performances, and 3 of his 7 bad starts this year have come against the Cubs.

 

Wainwrights current numbers:

13-10 3.75 ERA

 

Wainwrights numbers if you took out his starts against the Cubs:

13-8 3.03 ERA

 

I am beginning to take a different look at this matchup.

What were the dates for those starts? IIRC he struggled early.

This is the most solid cause for pregame optimism I've seen in a while. Good work. (I hate you.)

What is the over/under on Tony LaRussa meaningless arguments tonight

[Mizzou]

Is Lee playing?

 

And we should destroy the Cards tonight. Z owns them, and we own Wainwright.

[Butterscup1679666578]

win, idiots.

[C.C.]

I think so, but if not I don't mind starting Ward again.

I don't mind Ward playing. I like having the left handed power threat, plus the last time he faced the Cards he had the two home runs.

[TruffleShuffle]

i hate you cardinals, and i sometimes hate you, cubs

[erik316wttn]

Don't suck.

[TruffleShuffle]

let soto play plz

[jyoung55]

let soto play plz

 

He's starting one of the games tomorrow.

[Guest]

let soto play plz

 

He's getting a start in one of the DH games, that's more than enough for him in a series.

[gerby23]

Also would be a good idea, and is probably likely, that Ward will start a DH game as well.

[weatherdood]

Win, morons!

[CubmanPi]

Dear Cobs,

 

Get a brain! Morans!

[Rusch33]

Dear Cubs,

 

Please continue to step on the Cardinals throats and kill them. I would like to see us basically eliminate them from the playoffs.

 

Sincerely,

Fans

What is the over/under on Tony LaRussa meaningless arguments tonight

Do you mean TLR getting into arguments or do you mean people arguing about TLR in the game thread?

 

Option 1: TLR v Umps: 2

Option 2: Poster v poster re: TLR: 17 (number of posts)

 

Option 3: Posts pointing out how meaningless argument is: 15.

 

You can take either over under, the line is set.

Considering that most of us were conceding defeat last night before it even started, and the obvious mismatch in our favor tonight, I wouldn't be surprised if we lost.

That's usually how it goes.

look at Wainwright's second half numbers versus what Zambrano's been doing lately... if there's a mismatch it's in favor of the Cardinals.

i'm just assuming that's a fluke, since the cubs suck at hitting
