5/8 Dusty Baker's Nats (Roark) @ CUBS (Jake) 1:20 PM CDT WGN/MLBN

Don't pitch around Rizzo if you know what's good for you..

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Roark is doing a good job of not hanging anything. There haven't been any pitches that just obviously should have been punished.

Heyward is 1 for his last 28 AB since his 4 hit "breakout game"

That's a bit disingenuous of an end point since it includes a five day break for an injured wrist.

[Sammy Sofa]

Farts.

[BigSlick]

OH man, bad pitch to swing at there Anthony.

 

The baseball gods get very sad when you strand a lead off Dex double

[Cubbie Swagger]

If Fowler had played the first half like this last year, we would have had 100 wins

Considering we're only talking about an additional 3 wins, you could say that about a lot of guys. Castro, etc.

 

3 wins is actually a ton to attribute to one player's half season, but yeah

Well, okay. Point taken.

Disingenuous end points are kind of my thing :)

That's UMFan's middle name. He loves him some arbitrary and mostly meaningless splits.

[Hunter]

I really prefer when we front-load a bunch of runs in a game.

[BigSlick]

this Wilson Ramos guy has been MEGA annoying this series

[BigSlick]

Getting mega "this is not our day" feels right now

[soccer10k]

Jake is human today.

[Sammy Sofa]

Blargh.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Arrieta confirmed broken, season death spiral incoming

[Careless]

Not enjoying this game

[Gilby]

This may just be a continuation of his typical slow start, but I'm going to worry about Heyward's wrist until he starts hitting.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Can we just call up Muni and have Ross as our only catcher until Miggy is back?

[Schwarber Fan]

Alright, that's enough of Federowicz, just take him out of the game.

[BigSlick]

I'm getting kinda bummed about this being the game that breaks Jake's lossless streak

[Sammy Sofa]

Maaaaaaaaybe I'll leave to go see my mom a bit early.

[CubinNY]

I've seen enough of the 4A catcher

[NotSoSober]

starting to get pissed, even though i shouldn't

[soccer10k]

Good lord everything is going wrong today. Wild pitches, balls off gloves.

[Clem Fandango]

Okay, take fed out. He cant handle arrietas sexy pitches

[Fred Hornkohl]

It really just doesn't make much difference either way.
