5/9 Cubs (Wood) @ Brewers (Lohse) 6:10 CSN

[Ram1380]

Way to pitch around it Travis

AGAIN....LFer....#2/3 caliber starter....bullpen arm capable of closing

The back end of the Cubs bullpen isn't the problem

 

 

not saying it is necessarily....with this starting staff.....a lead after 6 needs to be a done deal/a wrap...ala the Royals of last year etc...That's IF nothing should happen to Rondon....as always...IMO

 

coming into this game, the cubs had the third-best starters' FIP in baseball.

 

 

Hopefully they will start handing out wins for 'after the fact' box score FIP results then.

 

8-)

 

Lester has come around...and I am semi confident in him

 

Jakes track record leaves a lot in the air IMO......If he's your #2 you are on to something if he is what he was last year

 

Hammel is/has been solid and would be a great low end #3 or top end 4 on a contender

 

The rest complete garbage IMO

 

All I am saying

Too high

[UMFan83]

Our starting pitching freaking blows this year

That's so odd. I could swear I read the exact opposite the other day which is what I was basing my observation off of.

 

my bad

[Careless]

Wow, just noticed his pitch count. Wood's at 84, too.

It's Wood and Hendricks that are bad. Lester is coming around, Arrieta has been solid outside of 2 starts same with Hammel.

[Guest]

holy crap, he called that a strike?!?

[Guest]

why not that one too?

[Ram1380]

Are you kidding me with that strike 1 to Soler

 

This ridiculous

[Careless]

Nice strike to Soler, [expletive]

[TruffleShuffle]

"strike one" to soler was half a foot outside. he seems to get boned over a lot.

[CyHawk_Cub]

These [expletive] umps can eat a bag of dicks

[Guest]

Frustrating 2-1 swing, was never a strike or a pitch to swing at

[ARCubsFan]

These [expletive] umps can eat a bag of dicks

All umps can really

[Schwarber Fan]

Lohse shouldn't be able to get away with taking that much time. That's garbage.

[Ski]

The strikeouts are quickly going from depressing to infuriating. Let's stop whiffing against Kyle [expletive] Lohse, please.

Just like Folwer. And Bryant.

Soler is free to call time if it makes him uncomfortable

[TruffleShuffle]

do the cubs have one of those pitching machines that throws breaking pitches? if not, this seems like something we should invest in.

[ARCubsFan]

[expletive] Edwin Jackson.

[OleMissCub]

He still has Cardinal voodoo running in his veins.

[Ram1380]

Jackson pulling off the impossible....missing this umps strike zone consistently

 

ugggh

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm ready to see Jackson off the roster.

[Guest]

oh yeah...Jackson

[CyHawk_Cub]

Bosio magic doesn't work on Jaxson.

Bosio magic doesn't work on Jaxson.

Doesn't seem to work on anyone this year. Need to take another trip to St. Louis.
