I, too, want to see the Schwarber in the lineup.

 

Give the people what they want

The upshot to yesterday's rainout, now we don't even have to run out 5th starter du jour in an important series.

They didn't have to do that either way, all this is doing is moving Lester forward a day. Same 4 guys before and after the rain out.

I like splitting up Lester and Arrieta. It prevents those three game series where neither pitch. I'm sure that makes no statistical difference, but it makes me feel better. :stickman:

[Schwarber Fan]

Got Soler in draft kings tonight. Cmon, Jorge.

[Guest]

[KingCubsFan]

And here comes the double play...

[Schwarber Fan]

Moar boar wants moar.

[CincyCubsFan]

Baez plz.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Bad hitters are bad.

[Schwarber Fan]

Humongous chance wasted.

[Sammy Sofa]

Sure, Ross is better than Castillo because reasons.

[Schwarber Fan]

Under no circumstances should Ross have been swinging there.

[sontensei]

Can't wait for the day starlin isn't starting.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 40-10 (.800) when they score first in the game.... 17-37 (.315) when they don't

CUBS are 19-7 (.731) when they score in the first inning.... 38-40 (.487) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

I give it 2 games before you're wailing about Baez's strikeouts.

Na I've said it many times but I prefer a k over grounders with men on base dude.

[Cubswin11]

Anytime Ross is up 2-0 or better in a count he should be required to take until he gets a strike or walks

How often do you think players ground into double plays? Castro is a monster and even he has only hit into 15 in 423 PA.
