2017 Game Thread for teams that aren't the defending World Series Champions

Broxton in to pitch. This oughta do it.

 

And it did.

 

Hope the Cardinals enjoyed the week or two ahead of the Cubs in the standings.

The Brewers are 0-4 since their rainout tantrum, and tonight Braun left with an injury to the same calf that sent him to the DL earlier this month.

Good stuff.

 

The Cardinals have discussed moving Dex out of the leadoff spot.

[David]

lol dodgers with 6 unanswered after stl took a 3-0 lead in the first

[Transmogrified Tiger]

if the Dodgers hold that 3 run lead for 3 innings then the Cubs are alone in first.

 

How many days ago were we getting the 'maybe the Cubs are actually bad' thinkpieces? It can't have been more than ten.

[David]

threatening for more now... runner on 2nd no out

I didn't realize Dex had fallen back that far with his numbers. He got hot there for awhile to the point where his stats looked good.

It would appear that was on May 19, when I noticed he was above .800 OPS. He's 1-23 since then.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Yeah it didn't feel like it was too long ago. I'm sure he'll pick it back up. Everybody has 1-20s

[We Got The Whole 9]

Red Sox pitchers struck out 20 Rangers today. 4 hitters Kd 3+ times. Gallo was oddly not among them.

 

And the Dodgers just jocked us with their own 4 inning save. The pens will be ready to go in the upcoming series.

Just wondering, I know the White Sox are 20-25, but is Rick Renteria doing well as a manager?

[CubinNY]

I'm at the Rockies Cardinals game in Denver. Lots of Card fans and boy do they love Molina.

I've seen some stuff on Twitter recently about excessive bunting but have no idea other than those couple data points. I felt like he was a slightly above average manager in his year with the Cubs.

[CubinNY]

And all the Cards fans are leaving early. I love it.

Chase Anderson has a no-hitter through 7 at 111 pitches.

Watch this. Much better than watching Cubs get ass beat. Watch Bryce helmet throw in a way I didn't know was possible.

Really Harper? ON Memorial Day?

[OleMissCub]

 

All that hair. Looks like a Metallica concert.

I don't blame Harper at all.

I hope every player who hits a homer off Strickland for the rest of his career does a Bautista bat flip and takes a minute to round the bases all while staring Strickland down the entire time.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

horsefeathers that racist POS Strickland. I hope Posey hates him too so he didn't help him out.
