05/25 CUBS (Arrieta) @ St. Louis (Martinez) 12:45 CDT, ABC7

[Ding Dong Johnson]

You should take your bad starter out, Cardinals

NO!!!!

[illiniguy]

 

Especially their two young supposed studs, who aren't really.

I like Martinez, don't see it with Wacha.

 

Yep. Martinez could be. He isn't yet. Wacha is incredibly overrated. He's a nice pitcher, but not like some people think.

That postseason success the first year still has everyone fooled.

You're quite right. I fat fingered something there. Should have read...........

Meanwhile, Cardinals talkers are saying their bullpen is taxed. I wonder why...

[BigSlick]

In completely arbitrary stats that still somewhat show how absurdly good this team is: Addison Russell is on pace for 116 RBI

[badger]

Arrieta has a .684 OPS? LOL.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Arrieta has a .684 OPS? LOL.

 

Hey, be easy on the guy. He's already given up two runs and now you have to bring up his OPS falling below .700?

[BigSlick]

"they" just being anyone that isn't the Cubs, forever

[Tim]

I really thought I had called it there. Bummer.

The best way to get over that is to remind yourself of when a team blows a defensive play against the Cubs. AKA rewatch Hammel's 1st inning double from yesterday again.

[BigSlick]

Arrieta getting comfortable I think

[Fred Hornkohl]

P/PA through 3 inning(s)....

 

CUBS: 4.11

St. Louis 3.25

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Tim]

Jake with exactly half the pitches compared with Martinez

[CubInOK]

Cardinals announcers are now talking about implementing an anti-tanking rule.

[Tim]

TIL that we employ Brian Roberts' dad.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Stop being boring.

[BrockLanders]

Watching the Cardinals feed. They're debating whether it's "fair" for teams to rebuild like the Cubs. "Baseball has to wonder if this should be allowed, cutting payroll and stockpiling high picks for 3-4 years" paraphrasing but lol.

...how would you regulate this if it wasn't allowed?

[UMFan83]

Jake don't got it today.

[Cubswin11]

Figure it out, Jake

I mean, how the hell would you go about enforcing this?
