8/12 Cardinals (Wainwright) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 1:20 CST ABC7

[David]

heyward might at least hit a pop up against this guy

[CubInOK]

The dong gods are pleased, even delighted.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

✂ needs to get more playing time.

[BigSlick]

Having Super Soler back owns so much

[UMFan83]

Someone get Chris Berman over here, we've got a HR derby going

 

fake edit: im kidding get Berman the hell away from here

[Andy]

I want 20

[ScrubMD]

Come on, Anthony. We're never going to get to 20 with lame ass pop ups like that.

[Irrelevant Dude]

I feel pretty good that Joe Smith can go 2 innings without giving up 12 runs.

[UMFan83]

heyward might at least hit a pop up against this guy

 

actually Maddon should sub heyward into the game right now no matter who is due up for the Cubs so he can get his dong and the confidence boost that goes along with it.

[Cubswin11]

✂ needs to get more playing time.

Maybe he's getting just the right amount and is being super effective?

 

But I bet he sees a lot of time in September and October to get Fowler, Bryant/Zobrist (Javy/LaStella 3B/2B days) and Heyward (figure horsefeathers out more than rest), adequate rest for the playoffs.

[Omar]

Joseph Smith is a mop-up pitcher

 

smart smart smart smart smart

[Sammys Boombox]

So. Glad the rain held off

[BigSlick]

There are pitchers that are bad and continue to be bad and yet stay in the league forever and Jerome Williams is one such pitcher

[UMFan83]

If this margin holds, the Cubs RD will jump to +201 for the season.

[BigSlick]

Soler has upped his OPS by like 80 points in like a week

[philosophizer75]

I like that Smith throws strikes. Not a nibbler.

[Cubswin11]

Time for a magic number thread me thinks

[Ding Dong Johnson]

oh, Joe...

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I like that Smith throws strikes. Not a nibbler.

you were saying?

[David]

damn it

 

no more runs...i wanted a cushion but we must at least stay at +200

[David]

Soler has upped his OPS by like 80 points in like a week

 

i bet that rolling wOBA chart is looking pretty damn good right now

[UMFan83]

He almost made it a full inning without sucking. Congrats.
