Game over. I'm out.

[Garage Party]

This is insane. Get him out of there NOW.

[pitchcs]

Wow

[inari]

This is just getting hilarious.

[E.J.]

LOL. Homeruns given up to BAko and Hairston. Retire now Liebs.

[JonnyRed]

Well this isn't the way we wanted the game to start...When Bako and Hairston are hitting HRs off you, you know it's not your day. BRUTAL!

[abuck1220]

at least hill didn't give up hits.

[Andy]

Welp, the 1-game win streak was fun. At least STL has Wainwright going against yet another crappy pitcher tonight.

[Flames24Rulz]

Yeah, I'm sure Rich Hill couldn't have done worse than this. Or Gallagher. Or Marshall.

 

You know you suck when Bako and Hairston are going yard off of you.

[ctcf]

Well I suppose some good may come of this if one of the Seans gets a rotation spot.

[ChiCubsFan]

Jerry Freakin Hairston and Paul Bako went yard on you in the same inning. Think about that for a second, Lou. At least Lieber didn't walk 4 guys, though.

[bcl412]

So why is Hill in Iowa again?

[erik316wttn]

Dropping like a rock in the standings is fun.

[David]

It's amazing that most of this board saw this coming and Lou didn't.

 

I wonder if he even knows about Lieber's splits. How could you start him against a team whose best 3 hitters are all lefthanded?

 

Especially when you consider the ridiculous juggling he did to have the Brewers not face lefties and all that.

 

It wouldn't surprise me when you consider he had NO idea that Hill had struggled with control in the minors.

[Post Count Padder]

Mr Gallagher, your table is ready

[CuseCubFan69]

Lieber is fine as a long relief guy but this is not acceptable. If a lefty starts like Hill/Marshall/Lilly he can relieve in the 3rd or 4th and face more righty's. When they stack lefty's against him, yikes.

[illiniguy]

The shift is so stupid. Half the time they still do that to us.

[bcruise]

So glad I decided to watch this morning game...

[BigSlick]

Oh ok, thats cool, we aren't going to win.

[abuck1220]

Well I suppose some good may come of this if one of the Seans gets a rotation spot.

 

or the guy who was one of the best pitchers in baseball last year that is currently hanging out in des moines.

 

you could make a better rotation using the bullpen and iowa than the one the cubs are using right now.

[Careless]

I never thought my "Fire Jim Hendry" sig would last for 4 seasons. This is insane.

[ChiCubsFan]

What the hell kind of ridiculous shift is that??? You can't even get to a routine groundball to where the 2nd baseman should be playing with a left handed hitter up?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

and the corpse of Marge Schott just went deep. 7-0 Reds

[CuseCubFan69]

Chad Johnson now up.

That is a remarkable accomplishment.
