Rondon's a [expletive] if he can't finish from here

[Ski]

Just get out of the inning, please.

[George Hayduke]

Lackey was such a great signing. He's giving us ace stuff, and we don't have a billion dollars of future money to worry about.

You mean you didn't expect him to be an ace? I guess you were too busy fawning over Heyward to see it!!

[UMFan83]

So...

 

6.1 IP, 1 ER

9 IP, "1" ER

7 IP, 1 ER

2 IP, 0 ER

7 IP, 0 ER

9 IP, 1 ER

8 IP, 2 ER

6.2 IP, 0 ER (hopefully)

 

Cubs starters over the last 8 games

 

55 IP, 6 ER, 0.98 ERA (come on Warren get the last out so this sticks)

[UMFan83]

I'm teetering on the edge of disliking Adam Warren, if he gives up the lead here I might be completely on board with the 'hate warren bandWGN'

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Nice

[BigSlick]

Arizona was doing everything in its power to get 3 balls hit so badly they become hits, but not today satan

 

Not Today

[UMFan83]

OK, you are spared

[Andy]

Whew. I had a bad feeling Warren was going to crap the bed there. Nicely done.

[Andy]

We're 2 for 2 on granddaughters wanting no horsefeathering part of their granddads putting them on TV this week.

[BigSlick]

Weird substitution when Joe could have waited till the end of the half inning and double switched Russell in for the pitchers spot and then you wouldn't need another pinch hitter for 9 batters

 

But i mean whatever

[UMFan83]

Damn you Bleacher Nation for giving Javy a 3 K game

[Ski]

Whelp, Baez is back to sucking.

[UMFan83]

I want to start the rumor that Len and Bob had a falling out, causing Bob to bolt to Arizona, and the reason Len and JD were in the bleachers today is because Bob was singing the 7th and Len didn't want to talk to him.

soler walking is almost as sexy as soler donging

But that's a half inning of defense you're missing out on. And this way you get Jorge an AB. Both of those benefits may outweigh the concern of "wasting" a pinch hitter.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

We're just trying to win close, low-scoring games so eventually our actual record catches up with our Pythagorean record.

[ConstableRabbit]

I love Strop's quick-pitch.

[BigSlick]

Rickie Weeks, sit the horsefeathers down

 

this game is cathartic as hell, where all the annoying fleas of Cubs Teams Past get sit the horsefeathers down

[Brian707]

How about a Rizzo dong this inning?

[Ski]

Time to play 'Screw the closer.'

[Tim]

Let's play screw the closer here.

[badger]

I demand some dongs. come on KB.
