4/26 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Reds (DeSclafani), 12:10 CDT, WGN

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Joe Maddon is brilliant and dumb. We're awesome clutch except when we can't hit with RISP. We're amazingly efficient except for our entire non-starting-roster being made of catchers and relief pitchers. We're all about young kids except David Ross is our hero. Kris Bryant is the best power-hitting prospect ever but he can't hit home runs but he's still awesome.

 

Anyway.

 

Fun fact: Jake Arrieta is No. 6 in MLB in fWAR for starting pitchers since the beginning of the 2014 season.

Maddon is a genius

Strop had sore foot today but expects to be available tomorrow

This game will almost undoubtedly be rained out.

Haha I love this time of year.

[Guest]

[bjam12]

I never knew Bryant had this good of an approach at the plate. The dongs are coming.

Been following right after Lester day all season long, eh? :wink:

[CyHawk_Cub]

Damn ABC7 games...

[CincyCubsFan]

Just started raining here in Cincy. If I were a betting man, we aren't playing today.

[Schwarber Fan]

Yeah, the radar is brutal unless they wait around til around 4:00 local time. But the field will probably have taken a lot of water by then.

[Sammy Sofa]

Change your name to Rainout Fan.

[KaiserCesar]

Hourly + radar looks like a window would open up in the 1 oclock hour (locally). It's only supposed to be about .3 inches of rain total in the afternoon, so the field can hopefully drain. No heavy rain until 10pm after that, so even if there's a delay or two in between, I think a full 9 can get fit in.

[TruffleShuffle]

you are using the current radar to diagnose what the weather will be 5 hours from now? good luck with that.

You're the expert... I was just looking at the future radar thingy.

[Guest]

It can't rain out today. Today is the day Bryant hits his first 3 major league home runs.

[KaiserCesar]

I think it's time for a 'bold rainouts prediction' thread.

I did a zip code search of weather for where I was golfing yesterday and there was 0% precip from 6am to 2pm yesterday. It rained from 6am to noon.

 

NEVER trust/believe people/things who/that report/declare weather.
