CUBS LINEUP — Just keep your heads down and continue winning every series you can, Cubs.
Here’s a look at the Cubs lineup for Game 1 (of 3) against the Tigers at Wrigley Field starting tonight.
Chicago Cubs Lineup:
Pete Crow-Armstrong, CF Seiya Suzuki, RF Michael Busch, 1B Alex Bregman, DH Ian Happ, LF Nico Hoerner, 2B Pedro Ramirez, 3B Dansby Swanson, SS Miguel Amaya, CDespite being up with the team for a good long while now, Cubs prospect Pedro Ramirez has managed to accrue just 71 total plate appearances. But the trend line is pointing to more and more of him on everyday basis, and I, for one, am loving it.
For the season, Ramirez, who is barely 22 years old by the way, is slashing .281/.329/.438 (110 wRC+). And he has four hits over his last two games, including two doubles and a walk. I think he’s far from a finished product, but his explosion onto the scene (and onto top prospect rankings) is proving to be quite the development for the Cubs this year. Really good stuff.
Still no Michael Conforto, though, which is a little odd. Not that you’d put any weight on a sample this small, but he is 4-8 with a 2B and a HR off Jack Flaherty.
***
Switching back to Ramirez, note that he’s starting at third base tonight, giving Alex Bregman the half-day of rest at DH. Frankly, I thought we’d see that even more than we have this season, just given his age and prior injuries.
Okay, let’s go, Cubs. Start the series off strong.
Detroit Tigers Lineup:
Kevin McGonigle, SS Gleyber Torres, 2B Colt Keith, 3B Riley Greene, LF Dillon Dingler, C Kerry Carpenter, DH Spencer Torkleson, 1B Zack McKinstry, RF James Outman, CFPitching Matchup:
Chicago Cubs: Jameson Taillon, RHP
Jameson Taillon is back off the Injured List and starting for the first time since June 7. It’s difficult to remember, but before the game in which he was injured and left early, he tossed something of a gem against the Athletics: 6.1 IP, 6H, 2ER, 1BB, 6K.
What’s not difficult to remember is all the home runs he’s allowed this season. Even though he hasn’t pitched in OVER A MONTH, Jameson Taillon’s 20 home runs rank tied for the 9th most allowed in MLB. Meanwhile, the wind is blowing out tonight at Wrigley Field and the Tigers have hit 92 home runs off righties this year, seventh most in MLB.
Not ideal!
Detroit Tigers: Jack Flaherty, RHP
Jack Flaherty has made 18 starts so far this season, and although his strikeout rate remains enviable (26.4%), his walk rate has ballooned over 10%. He’s also allowing a lot of hard contact and a TON of fly balls. That said, he’s given up just nine homers so far this season. So maybe the Cubs can help him even that out a bit?
This is Flaherty’s first start of the second half, after finishing the first half strong in three straight outings:
5.0 IP, 2H, 0ER, 3BB, 9K – Astros 5.2 IP, 3H, 0ER, 0BB, 5K – Rangers 6.0 IP, 2H, 2ER, 3BB, 6K – PhilliesNone of those teams have as good of an offense as the Cubs (at least, not statistically to date), but clearly Flaherty still has some juice.
Flaherty has been pretty close to split neutral both this season and for his career.
