OK then Wada. Nice first inning.

Woah, Carlos Gonzalez is pretty freakin' awful this year.

 

.248/.298/.444, O fWAR, .322 wOBA, 89wRC, his BABIP isn't that low (.298) and his K% and BB% are both within 1.6% of his career averages.

well, his career BABIP coming into this season was around .350, so he's more than 50 points below his career BABIP. (line drive rate is way down this year)

[Gilby]

And to think, they could've gotten Arrieta for him.

[TruffleShuffle]

wada makes me think of world anti-doping association.

They should send Lake down and just call Jackson back up - 832 July OPS

 

Alternatively they could fire Lake into the sun

Milt Pappas is one of the meatballiest meatballs who ever meatballed.

[DiamondMind]

Pappas is kind of an asshat

[Gilby]

The new gameday really sucks; I always find myself opting for the classic one. Generic video game graphics don't make up for the fact that you need to click to see the box score and field view. The old one shows everything perfectly.

What is that like a .240 BA?

[SouthSideRyan]

Pappas is kind of an asshat

 

So glad I missed him.

[DiamondMind]

He seems like the type of old guy that is overly confidant and defensive about everything, endlessly stubborn - but really has no idea at all what he's talking about. He should do commentary with Harrelson.

JAMES RUSSELL!?

[Clem Fandango]

So a guy with a 3.2 K/9 strikes out 8 batters in 6 inning. Nice work, Cubs.

[DiamondMind]

lol @ bunting and giving russell of all people a free out

[Careless]

thanks for bunting, guys

[Guest]

Bases loaded no outs and you get picked off third. Good job, Nate.
