6/22 Cards (Wacha) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 1:20 ABC

[Cubswin11]

can we plunk them now?

No, because we aren't neanderthals

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Really thinking of just turning this game off.

[dfnowak]

Can't we hit like this too?

[Thed Hoyerstein]

can we plunk them now?

No, because we aren't Methanderals

 

FTFY

[BigSlick]

Ah ok. That's confirmation. I'm turning this game off.

[soccer10k]

Well, on to Miami.

[UMFan83]

Fourth time in his last 9 starts that Arrieta only went 5 innings.

 

Posted earlier He has gone 6 or less in 6 of his last 11 starts. In the 11 before that he went 7 in 10 of them.

 

As long as he's not injured I think he will figure it out again, and I mean 5 innings of 0 or 1 ER is still pretty impressive.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Is 2016 Justin Grimm one of those better than the results situations or did he turn into Bob Howry?

[dfnowak]

can we plunk them now?

I second the plunking...yes, I'm a Neanderthal...or just really dislike the Cards and Matheny

[UMFan83]

Starters havent been pitching deep as much lately, exposing our middle relief which apparently sucks.

[raw]

Jake needs to go longer in games. We're now an inning away from handing a 0-0 game to middle relievers.

 

IKR! He literally NEVER goes deep into games.

 

I don't think that's what I said but keep being a douche.

 

Obviously you didn't say the words that I posted. Jake has gone deep in plenty games, plus ya know 47-22.

[Clem Fandango]

If the Cubs were gonna get swept at home by any team this year, I really hoped it wouldn't have been the horsefeathering Cardinals.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

hahaha... oh horsefeathers. What a nightmare

[gobigred]

ballgame?

Yes, hopefully he figures out his command because I don't like the Rich Harden version of Arrieta.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

This might be our worst ass-kicking of the season, just in general. Which can't happen much when you win a lot. But this has been a complete ass-kicking. Just get it going again in Florida.

[David]

so much for CJ having the anti-HR elixir

Middle relief is middle relief. If it was better, it would be late inning relief. It's just that we need to figure out a new middle relief go to guy now that Grimm isn't good anymore.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Cobs

[Cubswin11]

Let's just forfeit

[Cubswin11]

Those thunderstorms can start anytime now

[BigbadB]

What the hell kinda [expletive] is this?

[Little Slide Rooter]

At the end of the day, we'll still be 9.5 games ahead of them and that much better. Turn it off and shrug it off.

We're all part neanderthal, studies show.

[Thusly Boned]

Well, this has just gone completely sideways.
