6/1 Arizona (Kennedy) @ Cubs (Samardzija) 6:15pm CDT, FOX TV

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 21-17 (.553) when they score 3 runs or more.... 2-13 (.133) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Irrelevant Dude]

Looks like Samardzija is going back out there... and I don't like it.

[Schwarber Fan]

Can't help but shake the feeling we need more runs.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are seeing 3.41 P/PA tonight compared to 3.91 on the season.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

 

eta: Might have something to with the fact that Kennedy is throwing 68% strikes, eh?

[Tryptamine]

There is no reason to extend Samardzija like this. I think this is a really bad call.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Last batter, please.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Samardzija sure looks to me like he's about out of gas.

[Schwarber Fan]

This spells trouble if we're gonna be bringing relievers in with men on base.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Get him out of there Dusty.

Part of that is Cubs making balls outside the zone strikes by swinging, though.

Internet went out for a second, but yeah, I hate trying to squeeze the 7th out of him. Give the guy's arm a break.

Did Bob just say the bullpen has been really good this year?

[Guest]

Did he just say that the Cubs bullpen has been really good all year?

 

Really?

[Guest]

lol brenly just said our bullpen has been really good this year

[Guest]

Where the hell was that pitch?

[Schwarber Fan]

Ha, Brenly. No wonder he blames the defense for our losing despite the run differential.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Well, this was predictable.

 

Why pull him now? He's not tired. Keep him out there.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 14-9 (.609) when their starter pitches 6-1/3 innings or more.... 9-21 (.300) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

Brenly totally forgot Sveum had been ejected too. Try not to screw this up, pen.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 18-5 (.783) when they lead at the end of the 6th inning.... 5-25 (.167) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[bcl412]

That was frightening.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Pitching to a patient team is really frustrating. They've laid off some good pitches.

[Schwarber Fan]

Leave him in...

[Guest]

That 2-2 pitch from Russell was a strike.

[Schwarber Fan]

FINISH HIM
