8/13 Cincinnati (Bailey) @ CUBS (Samardzija) 7:05 CDT, CSN

[Schwarber Fan]

Samardzija vs. Bailey on the hill.

 

We WILL score runs tonight. And lots of them.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Really getting tired of your [expletive], Jeff.

Dove for a ball that seemed to go through his glove, leading to the Reds' first run.

Got a late jump on a grounder and ends up having it go past him after diving for it. Definitely not his finest moment, but the run likely scores regardless.

[jersey cubs fan]

That was a very catchable liner, not a grounder.

[Andy]

I know this is meatball-y stupid complaining but it'd be really [expletive] nice if one of our stud trio of Rizzo, Castro and Samardzija could actually have a stud year.

[expletive], I can't expected to actually watch this garbage with more than a sideways glance.

It's not meatball-y at all; the Cubs are kinda fucked if at least two of those guys don't pan out.

[Schwarber Fan]

NATE THE GREAT!

[Careless]

Ending the streak in style

[Sammy Sofa]

Schierholtz has only 2 HR less than Rizzo in over 150 fewer PA.

[Layoutman]

Just checking in to see if the scoreless drought has ended...Same sh*t different day. And who says we don't need an impact bat in Abreu that only costs $$$$. Carry on.

Amazing timing.

[Layoutman]

No need to thank me...Typing and posting before a significant event seems to be my style.

[Guest]

Not sure how JD hasn't gotten Verlander yet.

LOL, Seriously. I named all three immediately.

[Schwarber Fan]

Shark is a disaster right now

[Sammy Sofa]

The "all prospect" nonsense is looking more and more like a necessity.

Shark is a disaster right now

 

Painful to watch.

[Schwarber Fan]

what a great signing Dioner was.

[TruffleShuffle]

man what has happened to samardzija's command over the past month or so?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm again wondering if maybe he's wearing out.

[mul21]

Fantastic. Navarro sees 6 pitches and hits a HR, the other 3 guys see a total of 7 and make outs. At least Starlin hit it hard I guess.

That's probably a pretty good theory. A little bit of a dead arm that a skipped start might do wonders for.
