Losing is not fun.

 

Winning is fun.

 

Do the winning thing again, Cubs.

I love this team.

 

[rawaction]

Should be ready to play ball any minute now.

Best matchup they'll see this series. Here's hoping they can make a crappy pitcher look crappy.

Matchup on paper with Arrieta against this bum says we should win this. But then again, didn't we lose one like this last time that looked like an easy win because of the matchup? I think it was Lester vs Jerome Williams. Lets win this Cubs!

Arrieta is pitching.

because anytime you can get Ross and his .143/.250/.179/.429 vs. LHP into the lineup you do it.

 

 

(disclaimer extreme sample size alert of 32 PA and he had a .809 OPS against lefties last year)

I WANT SCHWARBER. I KNOW IT'S STUPID. LESTER TOLD ME ITS OK TO PLAY STUPID.

A bad lefty. More worried about Schwarber vs. hard throwing LHPs, though he hasn't hit any LHPs well lately.

[Sammy Sofa]

Arrieta is on the mound. Schwarber has a meatfist.

 

These things take time.

LF?

 

I mean Denofria hasn't been good against LHPs since 2013.

Post-deadline trade of Rizzo.

They don't want to clutter his meatbrain.
