4/12 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Rockies (Lyles) 3:10 WGN

[soccer10k]

The Cubs finally graced us with some dongs and gave us a win as well. If they would like to do that again in the series finale, that would be wonderful.

 

Go Cubs!

[ctcf]

A series win and a winning record would be pretty freaking cool.

Cubs-Reds matchups at Wrigley Mon-Wed.: Lester vs. Leake; Arrieta vs. DeSclafani; Wood vs.Marquis

 

These seem like.....favorable matchups

[UMFan83]

Marquis? Like Marquis de Sade right? Because I know you can't be talking about Jason Marquis.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The modern record for HBP is 50. Rizzo on pace for 162.

 

Snicker to see the supremely overrated LaStella losing starts to Herrera.

[KaiserCesar]

Cubs opponents have a BABIP of .347, the highest opposing BABIP for any team. Hopefully that turns around today with Hendricks on the mound.

[Clem Fandango]

Are we going to try and make "The Professor" a thing for Hendricks?

La Stella is unavailable due to injury.

Snicker withdrawn, but he's still overrated.

LaStella looks like Hoyer's long lost son from the Jersey Shore.

Who is overrating him? Unless you are saying utility infielder is overrating him.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

LaStella is a Herrera-level fringe bench guy, imo, frequently seen as a borderline starter/fifth-infielder type.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Arenado is pretty good at defense.

[treebird]

can we trade our entire team for this arenado guy

[UMFan83]

Nice hit by Montero.

 

Mendy needs to start hitting to stay in the lineup. I know he's walked 4 times but it seems like he's either striking out or making weak contact the rest of the time.
