Go CUBS !!

 

 

 

I hear a rumor going around that Treymon broke his leg and they had to shoot him, but I don't believe that for a second. I'm sure he'll be around here tomorrow starting a hilariously funny game thread for tomorrow's game.

Rizzo out again today. Soler in the lineup

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Can't Watkins play first base or something?? I know he did at Iowa. I'm tired of seeing Valaika.

[Agony and Ivy]

Welp I think it's pretty clear the baseball gods are already punishing us and will never let us see our whole lineup play together.

[NOLA]

How pissed are you if you're one of the Jackie Robinson HS players, you run out onto Wrigley to have a baseball signed and instead of Rizzo you have Valaika?

[NOLA]

With the wind, Soler will hit a Glenallen Hill type blast today.

[Guest]

I do not like the Jaxonian vibe that Turner is giving off in his first 2 starts thus far

Same.

The cheese in Little Ceasar's pizza commercial looks like nacho cheese sauce.

 

Since I'm not Da Bum, that's disgusting.

[UMFan83]

Come on, a 3-0 green light for Javy?

 

Dude needs to get on base whenever possible, let him take the walk

No problem with Javy taking a hack on 3-0

 

Dude needs to hit for extra bases whenever possible

nacho cheese sauce is not bad

It's such terrible pizza, but $5 and no waiting.

the pizza sucks but crazy bread is straight from heaven

3K so far for Turner. If he can start striking people out with more consistency he becomes much more interesting.

[Guest]

Soler :)

[PrimeTime]

I [expletive] love Soler.

[Burt Macklin, FBI]

The ball didn't even leave the park. Slump.

[Guest]

if he's able to go the other way, it's all over

JORGE SOLER

Fact. And damn Soler is strong.

[ScrubMD]

Mixed results for Nelson so far. He didn't strike Javy out, but he was able to keep Soler in the park. He might have a future.

[NOLA]

Did Soler look a little gimpy going to the dugout? Maybe I am paranoid.

[Gmoney08]

if he's able to go the other way, it's all over

 

I feel I've read plenty of reports that he is very good at going to the opposite field.

[rawaction]

Soler is faster than I thought. Though he did only take like 4 steps from 1st to 2nd, on that double.
