5/3 Cubs (Jake) @ Pirates (Niese) - 6:05 CST - MLBN/WPWR

[CubInOK]

I don't like this. How is Jake supposed to get a SB with the bases juiced?!

Dusty Baker would hate this team. We clog the basepaths too much.

[UMFan83]

Dammit. I feel like we should just put him in the lineup every game for a month and if he doesn't start hitting, he's a bench guy

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

Question: can Niese throw the ball hard enough to hurt any of the Cubs when he eventually gets fed up and pulls a Pirate and starts beaning guys?

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm good with starting Baez/TLS over Jorge regularly

[Sammy Sofa]

Soler is breaking my heart.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

It would have been cool to get an extra run but two runs every other inning would still be a lot.

Can someone please tell me why this game is blacked out on mlb network in Columbus Ohio???

 

Last I checked the "home" teams here are the Reds and the Indians

 

Columbus is claimed by Pittsburgh too I think.

 

It's on MLB network in Dayton.

 

I just don't get it. I don't get any Pittsburgh RSN's here. The few times the Cubs are on mlb network, it would be nice to be able to watch them! Arrrgh

 

Oh, and soler really sucks right now

[TruffleShuffle]

sean rodriguez is a massive douche.

[Cubswin11]

Let's give them the death blow this inning and take away their will to live

I prefer giving those AB's to the other extremely toolsy player who might end up sucking but actually plays defense.

[NotSoSober]

baez is studly. and lol at WGN playing eye of the tiger about rodriguez

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Was anyone else getting Eye Of the Tiger being played four different times that last at bat?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

sean rodriguez is a massive douche.

 

He looks like someone that gets killed in Bourne movie fight scene

They really strung that out, too. You could tell Len had been waiting for a while to play that opening riff.

What the hell were those abs by Rizzo and Zobrist

[Sammy Sofa]

BAH.

[Ski]

Pop-ups are super annoying.

[Cubswin11]

Sean Rodriguez has been worth -0.2 fWAR each of the past 2 years, so for as annoying as he is it's probably best the Pirates keep playing him

[Sammy Sofa]

Huh.

[NOLA]

TFed!!!

[Cubswin11]

federowicz half dong!

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Dex needs to get a run home this time.

[Cubswin11]

Also, Russell's approach at the plate this year has been nothing short of fantastic
