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

To the 8 hole you go Jorge

[Schwarber Fan]

Sucks that MLB network uses the Pirates feed. Greg Brown is brutal.

[Cubbie Swagger]

Wait a second, Soler is playing left and Bryant is playing right...

 

I guess Joe just wants Soler getting reps in left, since that's where he will usually play?

[Schwarber Fan]

0 research by Brown about the walk problems over the last 2 starts. Shocker.

[Bote McBoteface]

Pirates broadcast says that Niese plans to go right after us and "force them to get their bats off their shoulder." And that was pretty evident in the first.

 

Niese chooses death by donging.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

bad strike zone is bad

[rocket]

don't like arrietas human form as much

[Schwarber Fan]

Seriously. It would've taken 5 seconds for these idiots to note that Arrieta has been walking a few more than normal over his last 2 starts and the Pirates announcers are acting like this is breaking news. Embarrassing for a MLB broadcast crew.

[Banedon]

Third start in a row (no hitter included) with Jake walking guys.

[fallacy]

Have to start throwing first pitch strikes to force them to swing at something

[Bigloubaby]

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

[UMFan83]

I will cry if Rizzo has a broken foot

[Butterscup]

Columbus is claimed by Pittsburgh too I think.

 

It's on MLB network in Dayton.

[Schwarber Fan]

The ball barely knicked his foot

[UMFan83]

Come on guy who won't be on the roster in 2 weeks

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Let's get that 3-1 strike called in the bottom half of the inning, okay thanks

[Schwarber Fan]

Jake!

[UMFan83]

Hahaha

Niese is sure doing a lot to get our bats off our shoulders...

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

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

[UMFan83]

We are a pretty good baseball team I think

[UMFan83]

Jorge, hit a grand slam or you're cut

[rocket]

Pretend it's the playoffs again jorge

[rocket]

Or don't
