Unfortunately we are at home, as Arizona is a very solid 1-11 at home….

 

We do get to send out Wood, Hammel and Shark in 3 of the 4 games.

Rain/thunder expected at 6pm. Not sure if they can get this one in.

They'll just start late after probably a lengthy delay.

Oh yay another lineup without Lake and Olt in it.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Oh yay another lineup without Lake and Olt in it.

 

Agreed.

[jersey cubs fan]

Oh yay another lineup without Lake and Olt in it.

 

The lineup sucks, but it is not like the lineup also does not suck when those guys are in it.

[gscool89]

Oh yay another lineup without Lake and Olt in it.

 

Agreed.

Probably means another game where we score 2 runs and leave 20 on base.

Tony Campana is starting in CF for the Diamondbacks.

This is true, but since no one else on the team really needs the ABs to help us now or in the future, just give them the starts.

 

I think Lake and Olt are the best options we have right now, but that doesn't mean they're good players.

Tony Campana is starting in CF for the Diamondbacks.

He's probably going to have like a .900 OBP this series, isn't he?

This has happened twice in the previous 10 games, and one of those was the double header.

[SouthSideRyan]

Only John Baker has a worse OBP than Olt among Cubs position players

8:05 first pitch, per the media on Twitter.

Anyone come up with a drinking game yet where Len says "it's early?"
