05/31 Dodgers (Kazmir) @ CUBS (Arrieta) 7:05 CDT, ABC7

[Ski]

Can we maybe not swing at horsefeathers all game?

[Omar]

Uhh, Arrieta is coming back out?

[UMFan83]

Nevermind the great Clayton Richard coming in to blow the Cubs 24 game winning streak in Jake starts

[halplm]

The strikezone is a good 3-4 inches bigger when we're batting.

 

Why is it when other teams are super good and winning a lot, they get all the calls, but when it's the cubs, they get squeezed???

This is totally bizarre. Like, Joe adamantly refuses to use Richard in consecutive blowouts, and then brings him in a tied game?

[bcl412]

Ugh, I hope this isn't another prolonged offensive slump for the Cubs and just a quick little dip.

They had 11 base runners yesterday so it's pretty much been one tough game against a guy who hit all his spots

[UMFan83]

Lmao Opponents are batting .342 against Richard

Because the league told the umps to not issue too many walks to the cubs.

[halplm]

I'm really trying hard not to get fatalistic...

[Irrelevant Dude]

Clayton Richard has really been in 15 games? I was surprised to see that it was even over 10.

[UMFan83]

CJ Edwards should be pitching right now. Not this has been

[Ski]

I mean, Richard is only coming in for the lefty, right?

Oh, well, that's ok then...

[BigSlick]

Well they got 4 lefties in a row at the top of the lineup so you might as well keep him going

 

And lol of course he loses that battle. the dude sucks

[UMFan83]

Shitty reliever gives up a lead off hit. Shocker

[ScrubMD]

Joe won't use Richard when we're up 7, but he uses him in a tied game in the 8th.

[Tryptamine]

Can we please trade for a lefty who can actually get lefties out?

[TruffleShuffle]

there aren't many players on this team who i am looking forward to not being cubs any more. clayton richard is one of them.

[UMFan83]

GOOD IDEA JOE

[BigSlick]

Ok, Richard sucks ok. We know this. We know he sucks. We don't need it demonstrated to us again and again.

[bcl412]

I don't like this

[Irrelevant Dude]

Send Jake back out!

[NotSoSober]

clayton richard isn't very good. why is he still in

[Ski]

And of course it's a dinky single for a hit.

[tawfiqmp]

Gotta get a good lefty in the pen
