5/14 Bucs (Locke) @ Cubs (Jake), 1:20 CDT, ABC7

[Bryants Disco Ball]

 

When I said he would be our best player by 2018, I may have been off by a couple years.

 

He won't be, but that's not his fault

 

With his improved discipline, if the power keeps up, it will be a good race between him, Bryant, Rizzo, Heyward, and Arrieta.

 

I like the confidence that the Cubs get Arrieta signed.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 23-2 (.920) when they lead at the end of the 6th inning.... 3-6 (.333) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Brian]

It has been said before here that it is a matter of time before the Pirates empty their bench against us... it's really feeling like today or tomorrow will be the day.

 

haha Brody Stevens on the fan cam.

[BigSlick]

Oh my god Russell is in God Mode

That, plus I wasn't sure if he was referring to this year or 2018. Either way.

only 100 wins? this guy...

[Guancous]

Addison Russell had a 1.022 OPS the last two weeks.

 

That does not count today's homer. Player of the Month contender.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Bucsdugout is hilarious. A majority of their guys are convinced that HBP was 100% intentional

 

boy you were not kidding

 

I kept reading for even a single person to go 'hey maybe he just got hit, this happens in pretty much every baseball game without malice', but nope, not a solitary voice of reason to be found

[Omar]

Need a gif of Rizzo saying "horsefeathers" after that groundout

[Fred Hornkohl]

[d_money]

Does Arrieta come out for the 8th?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Did they just say Rodriguez was in at short?

[Fred Hornkohl]

[David]

[David]

Did they just say Rodriguez was in at short?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

What's the name of that guy that played second for us in the playoffs last year?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 20-4 (.833) when they draw 5 or more walks.... 6-4 (.600) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[CubInOK]

Why does everyone play scared baseball with Ben Zobrist?

[Agony and Ivy]

Did they just say Rodriguez was in at short?

 

i thought it was just me

 

He robbed someone of a hit playing there yesterday. I despise him

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Zobrist just moved to 2nd in MLB in OBP behind Harper. Fowler is 4th.

[Hunter]

Actually this could be fun, name a roster of players we hate the most. I know it would be mostly Cardinals, but still throwing in some guys like Sean Rodriguez.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Haha, that montage of salty Pirates.
