[Andy]

If we can win a game against Max Scherzer with the current iteration of Castro, Lake, Ross and Lester taking up nearly half the lineup, we'll win the World Series.

[jersey cubs fan]

Fowler at cleanup seems fun

 

 

career 908 OPS from 4 spot

[sneakypower]

Junior Lake seems the perfect NL #9 hitter #moveupaddi

[sontensei]

whoa, this lineup is really really unexpected holy S**T

ha i didn't remember him even having one

[Ding Dong Johnson]

6-8 are horribad

Gotta make 3 outs somehow.

[sontensei]

Is coghlan leading off because he is the only guy on the team to ever draw a walk from Scherzer?

Time for Junior Lake to Earn his demotion for Matt S.

You know what would be ironic is if all the run production from the cubs tonight came from 5-8 lol

I mean, cool....but lets not pretend that Ross is getting a start for any other reason than Lester is pitching.

It would be super depressing to think Maddon puts stock in batter/pitcher history with such small sample sizes.

Giving Soler the night off against Scherzer isn't a bad idea.

In general, I feel like Lake has put together better ABs in his brief time in the majors this season than Szczur has.

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

Agreed. Only one bad AB stuck in my head (with the impressive broken bat) and an awful lot of shitty, Soler-bad strike calls and horrid babip.

I'm hype for this game. By Cubs logic though, its going to end 12-10 or something.

[Sammy Sofa]

You respond to every game seemingly like your heart is about to explode, so I'm kinda scared to find out what it means when you're "hyped."
