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

[Schwarber Fan]

I suppose we should all expect Soler and Bryant to go through some growing pains. We've been spoiled.

It's not that Soler has been bad, it's that he's striking out so much, something that he never did in the minors.

[Ski]

Kinda hope Maddon tears into the team for putting on such a [expletive] today. It's not like we're getting mowed down by Kershaw out there.

 

That'll show 'em.

 

Oh yeah. "You guys were playing shitty baseball today. Stop playing shitty baseball. It's not hard."

 

Cubs proceed to score 8 runs a game for the rest of the year.

Well seems like when there are runners on his approach changes dramatically

Soler struck out ~20% in the high minors, he just didn't do it for very long because he was hurt then he was hitting .330 and got promoted

[Schwarber Fan]

JC, Motte. Put someone away.

[Guest]

Ok...this is the inning we score big.

[Clem Fandango]

FINALLY

[Schwarber Fan]

Take the series tomorrow.

[Clem Fandango]

Way to give that run back

[DiamondMind]

I can't even watch Coke pitch. All his little ticks and movements drive me insane. He's worse than Turk Wendell.

[Clem Fandango]

Lind looks like Jack Parkman.

[DiamondMind]

Lind looks like Jack Parkman.

 

lmao

[DiamondMind]

Wow someone finally sung the stretch that could stay on tune

[KaiserCesar]

Just give it to Len full time

[DiamondMind]

I don't understand why they just don't put Harry on our new giant [expletive] video board. Makes sense to me.

[jb10194]

The bats better come alive by the time the Cardinals come around.

[Little Slide Rooter]

To be honest, I don't even remember Wendell as a pitcher. Just a guy who ate licorice and brushed his teeth.

[NOLA]

This x 1000. Everybody (including Dutchie) is happy. Well, maybe not.

[Schwarber Fan]

Yeah, the offense is definitely trending in a dangerous direction suddenly.

[Clem Fandango]

A testament to how bad this game has been was how I was the only person in this thread who reacted to the Rizzo homerun

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I don't understand why they just don't put Harry on our new giant [expletive] video board. Makes sense to me.

 

Because Harry's time was fun and it's over and time to move on. The last thing Wrigley needs is more gazing dreamily at the past.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Oddly enough I don't care about who or who doesn't sing the stretch or if games stop for God Bless America or if they rub their head after getting a hit.

 

I just want wins. And I wanted one today, damn it.

[jb10194]

Didn't Soler like not swing at any balls out of the zone for over half the Spring? I want that guy back.

 

Nice start. Bryant needs an extra base hit soon to get him going again.

[CyHawk_Cub]

When it comes to the history of the Cubs, there's very little of the past 30 years or so that I care to remember.

 

Fake rally time in the 8th
