5/13: NY Mets (Harvey) @ CUBS (Hammel) 7:05, WGN/ESPN

Castro/Montero/Soler, interesting

[sneakypower]

switch Castro & Cogh

[Andy]

switch Castro & Cogh

If that was our lineup all year, Castro might shatter the GIDP record from all the Bryant and Rizzo walks.

Rizzo is second in baseball in OBP, and if he maintains his production, he'll probably be the leader after Holliday's stratospheric BABIP comes back down to earth.

Is Montero's the quietest .387 wOBA ever?

Seems like we have a slightly different lineup every day.

 

Great Double play king is gonna turn KB and Riz BBs into outs.

 

If they just pitch around KB and Riz each at bat thats the way they win.

[Guest]

Harvey isn't a ground ball pitcher. He's a whiff and fly ball guy. That actually makes it a lot safer to put a contact guy like Starlin (at least, like he normally is) behind the walking twins.

[DiamondMind]

Starlin back at cleanup. Nice. Been calling for that for weeks.

[Banedon]

Jesus I wish I could watch this somewhere other than ESPN.

[Schwarber Fan]

Why does ESPN think Karl Ravech can do play by play?

[Tryptamine]

Ugh, Hammel.

[Sammys Boombox]

Here we go

[ARCubsFan]

Hammel is trying to get me to be not invested in this game

[Banedon]

Or that Schilling can do anything.

who do I need to angrily tweet at to make the live K-Zone go away

[Tryptamine]

Coghlan made that absolutely terrifying.

What don't you like about it? I kind of love having it.

[Tryptamine]

Really nice recovery.

It's invasive and distracting. I want to watch the pitch and it's very difficult to follow with the superimposed zone and crosshairs.

[Gilby]

That was huge.

[treebird]

harvey is going to straight up annihilate us.

[Tryptamine]

My over/under of 10 is looking way too low based on his stuff right now.

[PrimeTime]

Bryant crushing them foul

[CyHawk_Cub]

Not fair. Harvey is nasty
