5/4 Phillies (Eflin) @ World Champion Chicago Cubs (Lackey) 1:20 WGN

[soccer10k]

It wasn't pretty but the Cubs picked up the W tonight. Going strictly by the box score since I wasn't able to watch but Jake was decent and the pen shut things down with the lead. We'd all like more blowouts but they all count the same in the standings.

 

CUBS are 15-12 when they play a baseball game

CUBS are 6-6 at home

CUBS are 2-3 when Dickbag McHorseteeth starts

CUBS are 2-1 against the Phillies

CUBS are 2-0 on Thursday's

CUBS are 15-12 when they allow a run in the first inning

 

Go CUBS!!

Bold prediction: the Cubs never trail in this one.

[Banedon]

I have tickets to this one but debating whether or not to even drive up there. This one may not get played.

Real bold prediction, then.

[WoodRules]

Love that last stat!

[Sammy Sofa]

Of course Chompers McButtnugget is going to be the first Cubs starter in a billion years to get out of the 1st without giving up a run. He'll do it just out of spite because he wants to make everyone else look bad.

Our first inning ERA be like

Heyward, Russell, Zobrist and Schwarbs all have OPS lower than Javy's. Tell me again why I thought he was struggling?

You know he's actually the last Cubs starter to pitch a clean 1st inning as well.

Because Monday morning his OPS was 223 points lower.

DAMN HIS EYES.

[Banedon]

Well looks like the rain is gonna stay south. No Schwarber or Zobrist.

 

[mikeyt34]

Or Heyward

[WoodRules]

Or Contreras

[Sammy Sofa]

Which, combined with Lackey, means this will inexplicably be the game where the Cubs never trail and win something, like, 27-2.

[UMFan83]

That lineup is probably better than 25 teams normal lineup.

Cubs win this one 8-1

Our forfeit lineup is good. We aren't at our best and are still in first and, oh, we won the baseball championship thing.

 

Life is good.

They need to stop trying so hard with this horsefeathering graphic and go back to the 2015-16 version.

[David]

Is Eflin a reverse split guy or is this purely Maddon getting guys a day off?

its probably why the pitching has sucked.

Left-handed batters hit better against him both in the minors and majors, although not a huge difference.

My listing for today's game is down to $6 and I'm still not thinking they'll sell. Damn April bad weather day games vs an irrelevant team.

 

I wonder what the crowd will look like if I can't even unload good seats for $6.

Someone on reddit was giving away 4 tickets in press row(wherever that is) probably by Cubs dugout.

Nasty sliders from Lack
