6/4 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Nats (Gonzalez) 6:05 CST, WGN

[CubInOK]

Let's hope that wasn't our chance to put up a crooked number and now Gio dominates the rest of the way.

Considering Russell-Fowler-Rizzo-Bryant has at least 3 more PAs each, I really don't think that's it.

Who was that catcher who tormented us with the Pirates in the early 2000s, then only hit weak grounders to short while he was a Cub? Jason Kendall?

 

to be fair, kendall was a very good player for the pirates and was in his prime. the cubs acquired him when he was 33.

 

 

mildly annoying that rendon misses two months then comes back just in time for a 4 game series against us.

[SouthSideRyan]

Kendall was inexplicably good with us until Geo took over.

[NotSoSober]

how lovely that Arietta can't get the benefit calls

[NotSoSober]

this is a joke

[profisme]

Two completely different strike zones

[TruffleShuffle]

i can't tell if harper has become more patient or if every pitcher is just terrified of him.

[sontensei]

Wait..... who said Junior Lake would go 0-4 with 3 Ks ???

 

i did. looks like his approach is better. if baez is like this now im nearly bout to [expletive] my pants

[ScrubMD]

Holy [expletive] that 2nd strike was at Fowler's feet.

[Guest]

was he not safe?

[ScrubMD]

Moral of the story: just step on his leg.

[ScrubMD]

was he not safe?

 

Never touched the bag. He was trying to be nice and not snap Gio's leg in half. He'll know better next time.

[NotSoSober]

the fix is in. i wish bryant would have just stepped on him

[sontensei]

damn its like gio blocked the bag

[profisme]

The last thing the Cubs need is for Bryant to break his ankle trying to beat that play out.

[Guest]

arrieta needs to shave his neck

[profisme]

10 or so pitches in and Matt still has yet to see a strike.

[ARCubsFan]

Gonna waste a man on 2nd with 0 outs.

[Derwood]

Why did I have no idea that Lake was fast?

[Andy]

Someday MLBN will use the Cubs broadcast.

[CubInOK]

Why did I have no idea that Lake was fast?

That's like his first time on base.

[OleMissCub]

Real smart, Junior

[jersey cubs fan]

Replay is such a time suck.
