7/12 white sox (Quintana) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 1:20 CDT, ABC7

[Guest]

infield in for Soler in the first inning, Ventura must really hate his infielders

[jersey cubs fan]

Way to go big ern!

 

[Fred Hornkohl]

That's the first 1st inning run the CUBS have scored since last Sun 05 July.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 22-20 (.524) when they GIDP.... 24-20 (.545) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Gilby]

With Arrieta pitching and no Abreu in the lineup, I kinda think that's the game.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I hope the Cubs aren't done scoring for the rest of the day now.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bryant's triple was only the 2nd extra base hit for the CUBS in their last 3 games.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

With Arrieta pitching and no Abreu in the lineup, I kinda think that's the game.

 

Why did you have to do that? Haha

[Bruno7481]

In play, run(s)

[PrimeTime]

Arrieta looking filthy today

[Bruno7481]

Arrieta is sharp today. What a trade. Still under control for two more seasons. He is looking at a nice arbitration raise after this season.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have 0 HRs in their last 4 games, 1 HR in their last 7 games, 5 HRs in their last 18 games.

 

 

Hit some [expletive] dongs !!!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have been outscored 46-34 in the 2nd inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Gilby]

Len kinda brought this up just now but... if we continue to struggle to score runs and Dexter doesn't turn it around from the left side, a Schwarber/Coghlan/Soler outfield defensive alignment would be too awful defensively to actually try, right? Or would it be worth it?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 43-23 (.652) when they score 2 runs or more.... 3-17 (.150) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

CUBS have 0 HRs in their last 4 games, 1 HR in their last 7 games, 5 HRs in their last 18 games.

 

 

Hit some [expletive] dongs !!!

 

This is a team built with players that have plus power and they arent hitting any grr

I hope he'll be looking at a modest 2-3 year extension instead.

Yes, that would be a complete disaster.

 

I may hate myself for bringing this up, but Schwarber / Bryant / Soler in the OF with Coghlan at 3B might be slightly less of a disaster.

I don't know what it means to hit any grr. I wanna see some [expletive] dongs !!

[Andy]

Arrieta looks terrific.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the opponents 44-22 in the 3rd inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[DiamondMind]

So that's game over right with Arrieta and no Abreu?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 44-39 (.530) when they get they get at least 4 hits .... 2-1 (.667) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[DiamondMind]

Rizzo consistently has great AB's. Over and over and over.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 23-21 (.676) when they get hit by a pitch.... 23-29 (.442) when they don't.

 

 

Go CUBS !!
