5/2 Brewers (Fiers) @ Cubs (Arrieta) - 1:20 pm CDT (CSN)

[Schwarber Fan]

I know he walks a good deal but I'm not sure I understand Soler leading off otherwise. Maybe better pitches to hit.

[Clem Fandango]

Soler hasn't walked a good deal at the major league level so far, so the walks aren't really a good reason to put him at the top, especially when he and Fowler have essentially the same BB% this season so far. I'm sure it's just Joe shaking things up for the sake of shaking things up and seeing how Soler reacts and all that

[Burt Macklin, FBI]

I find it hard to believe he'd get better pitches in front of Fowler vs. Rizzo or Bryant. Kind of a strange move. Maybe Maddon is trying to help him out of the slump a little bit. That 47.5% K% over the last 9 games is...not great.

[Derwood]

So conflicted. It's a gorgeous day outside and I should go do something, but it's also Arrieta day and a possible dong party

The good news is that there is no wrong choice. The better news is that I can just listen to the game on my phone while I mow the lawn or whatever

ok if mowing the lawn is what you're going to do if you do something outside, [expletive] that and just watch the game IMO

Well the lawn isn't going to mow itself.

But the lawn will be there tomorrow, and witnessing Bryant's first dong of his career live will not...

 

Unless he doesn't hit one, of course

[expletive] Braun

[Guest]

Off to a bad start.

[Burt Macklin, FBI]

braun is the worst

[Schwarber Fan]

That's all the Brewers are gonna get.

[Banedon]

Get Jake outta this inning and I bet he's OK the rest of the day.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Jake not sharp today

 

And can we please get a damn doubleplay

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS had scored first in each of their last 5 (4-1) games..... and in 11 of their last 14 (9-5) games.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 5-1 (.833) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 8-7 (.533) when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Burt Macklin, FBI]

nice AB from Soler. Tough take on ball 3

[bcl412]

Fiers is kinda getting squeezed. Oh well.

[Guest]

Bryant caught guessing :/

[Derwood]

Bryant watched two dong-worthy meatballs go by in that at-bat.

 

His SLG is now lower than his OBP

[Tryptamine]

So um, Bryant slugging sub .400, didn't expect that.

[Gilby]

Damn, that 0-2 pitch to Bryant was perfect for him to show off his oppo dong power.

[Careless]

:banghead:

[Guest]

oh crap
