Ha good start

[haubrich91]

How many innings will it take for the Cubs to score a run?

[Schwarber Fan]

Here we go with Jackson

[treebird]

castillo seemed kind of like he was taking care to get in between marte and jackson very quickly there

Rizzo <3

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Jackson's going to get absurd BABIP and sequencing luck this year and everyone will be hanging off his sack.

[Guest]

lol same pitch to McCutchen a ball

[Schwarber Fan]

nice!

Is it possible he just had/has issues pitching from the stretch?

[treebird]

ball one to mccutchen was way better than strike three to castro

No. Reserve your sack-hanging space now while you still can.

[gscool89]

[expletive] this strike zone. 2nd straight game of inconsistency.

I'd be pretty happy if was just normal Edwin Jackson this year...

Umps fall into the same scum of the earth category that football and basketball referees do. If soccer fans had to put up with the same incompetence and systematic conspiratorial cheating as we do, there would be blood in the streets every single day

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm going to blame Castillo for every called ball all year. Learn to frame, jerkstillo.

[UMFan83]

Sweet. The reds game is delayed. Gives the Cubs some time to prevent being the last team to score this year.

[PrimeTime]

Did Jackson lose some heat on his fastball over the last year or so? I remember prior to last year he was averaging around 95 MPH..Always seen him throwing 94-98 MPH watching him on other teams a couple years back. Now it seems he sits around 91-92 and maxes out at 94.

These [expletive] meatballs

[neely crenshaw]

Alvarez had some good power stats last year, but why exactly would you ever pitch to McCutcheon unless you absolutely had to?

[gscool89]

Are you [expletive] serious Pirates?

He averaged 93.1 MPH on his fastball last year, down about 1.5 MPH from his peak.

Benches warned. Guess if we can't score against Rats pitching, we can at least get into a brawl or two. Might be mildly entertaining.

[Guest]

This lefties thing is looking good this inning

[haubrich91]

Make him pay, Cubs!

[Guest]
