5/3 Cardinals (Wacha) @ Cubs (Arrieta) Noon CSN/Fox Sports 1

i want a legitimate reason they can't apply to wear those permanently. do something good for once in your [expletive] life ricketts.

You feel this way because you live in the 2010's. If you lived in the 1920's you would be pining for really cool uniforms from the 1870's.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Olt just needs an 0fer4 today to get his OBP below .200.

[bcl412]

I like when Castro does that as opposed to throwing the ball into the first row.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Arrieta's stuff is there and he's not walking anybody. He's still leaving way too many balls up, but he can be effective-ish like this.

 

My optimism is creeping up.

No, I feel this way because the uniforms are a legitimately awesome design.

I'm not sure why I'm admitting this as it shows how little I've actually watched the Cubs the last 2 years but until just now I thought Jake Arrieta was black.

[DiamondMind]

Arrieta really has decent stuff

[bcl412]

Damn you Wrigley and your deep corners.

[Gilby]

Starlin's hit like 3 balls off the wall the last few games.

[Tryptamine]

Between the two balls to the warning track in the Villanueva start at Miller Park and the hitting the top of the wall the last few days, Castro is about a cumulative 10 ft from having 8 or 9 bombs already.

It's really shocking how few K's he normally gets. His curveball and cutter/slider have electric movement.

[bcl412]

Review that.

[Gilby]

Nice play by Olt and Rizzo.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

keep it up arrieta, the more sexy guys on the team the better.

[bcl412]

Hit it higher.

[Gilby]

Many whiffs, two hits for Junior so far.

[Andy]

I'll give Lake this much, he doesn't make contact well, but he often hits the crap out of it when he does.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Lake takes every swing like he's trying to crush a fastball down the middle. When he gets one, it's beautiful.

[sneakypower]

SSR must be hating this [expletive] so far

[CubInOK]

Just when I was about to pick up the "Mike Olt-for-4" thing...

[SouthSideRyan]

He's still shitty

He wishes. I wishes.

true....I got a little flush just thinking about Hills rooftop shot. Lake has never done that for me

Valbuena hitting .214 with a .370 OBP.
