Game 91 Threads: Reds at Cubs

Cincinnati Reds @ Chicago Cubs


Next Game

Cincinnati Reds
@ Chicago Cubs

Tuesday, Jul 8, 2008, 8:05 PM EDT
Wrigley Field

Aaron Harang vs Ryan Dempster

Partly cloudy with a 40-percent chance of rain. Winds blowing out to center field at 5-15 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 85.

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Aaron Harang 3-10 4.47 1.35 102 27
W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Ryan Dempster 9-3 3.24 1.18 93 43

When the season started, if I had said that an All Star would start this game, I doubt anyone would have believed that it would be Ryan Dempster.  This will be Dempster's 3rd start against the Reds this season.  He's 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA, though the Reds have actually scored 9 runs off of him in 12 IP this year.  He's given up home runs to Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey Jr. this year, and both of those gents have hit Dempster well historically.

Harang will be making his 3rd start against the Cubs this season, after going 0-2 with a 5.54 ERA in the previous two starts.  He'll be pitching on his longest rest (7 days) since 2005.  In his career on 7 days of rest, he's 2-0 with a 2.00 ERA, throwing 18 innings and striking out 13 batters while walking just 4 in 3 starts.  Hopefully tonight's results will be similar.

Since the Reds last faced the Cubs at the beginning of May, the Cubs have gone 34-21 and sport the best record in the National League.  However, they've gone just 15-15 in their last 30 and 9-11 in their last 20.  So maybe their cooling off will give the Reds a shot at stealing a couple of games.

I checked BR and saw that, but he has also had limited success this year against Dumpster (even smaller sample size)

Cubs just got Rich Harden. Early reports say that Matt Murton and Sean Gallagher are in the deal, but there may be others going to the bay in the deal.

NL Central pitching is getting tough. Harden is a major risk as he is prone to injury, but is signed cheap, with a Team option of 7Mil next year.

I guess we have to wait and see who else the Cubs had to give up to see how they made out on the deal. I doubt Billy Beane was only asking a 4th or 5th OF and a unproven starter for his current ace. Surely someone else is in the trade.

is that Arroyo’s value goes up as the better pitchers come off of the market.

that would have been quite a haul even without Gaudin thrown in. i read this rumor a few days ago and laughed at its ridiculousness. is that ironic? i think thats ironic. damn Cubs.

I'm not looking it up, but

I daresay that Bruce is striking out at a faster clip than Dunn.

but now that he hit his slump, it has gotten decidedly worse
