6/17 Cubs (Wada) @ Indians (Marcum) 6:10 CST CSN+ (Happy Schwarber Day)

No laptop for me at the moment so no fancy threads either :(

 

While he made a debut AB last night, today should be Kyle's first big league start. Here's hoping Hulk can show them how it's done.

 

I also cannot believe Shaun Marcum is still pitching in the big leagues. Go figure.

 

The Logan should keep making fancy graphics (PLZ)

I only go all out for my starts, but since you asked nicely I'll try and whip something up real quick

Also pitching this evening: Joe Blanton and Kevin Correia. I guess Woody Williams and Jon Garland weren't available.

The lineup. I like.

[OleMissCub]

Substitute Soler for Denorfia and damn if that lineup isn't sick looking.

[Gilby]

Really surprised he's hitting 8th, but w/e. Makes sense if Maddon wants to alternate R/L/R/L I suppose.

[d_money]

Wada's gonna get lit up. This will be his last start.

Montero scratched w a back issue. Not serious. New lineup to come. Schwarber moves up from 8

[Guest]

Don't like hearing Montero and back issue in the same sentence.

Booooo

[DiamondMind]

Anyone else terrified about Montero now?

[Gilby]

Jesse Rogers says it's not serious. Hopefully he's right, but what happens if Montero gets DL'd?

 

I'm assuming they'd just call up Lopez and Schwarber would still go to Iowa..

Gotta like that they moved Schwarber ahead of Ross with this switch, though.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Oh God, Marcum takes one minute each time to throw a pitch.

[Ski]

Rizzo has just been getting screwed on BABIP as of late.

[ScrubMD]

A walk, then down 3-0 on the next batter, and he gets out of the inning on 15 pitches. That sucks.

[Gilby]

Bold prediction: Old Man Ross goes deep tonight. Has always had power and Marcum's (lack of) velocity will be good for his old man bat speed.

i already love him
