5/9 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Rockies (Senzatela) 1:10 CT, CSN

[UMFan83]

So 3 starters at the deadline then?

[Cubswin11]

wtf javy

remember when he inexplicably went to 3rd in a meaningful situation against the Mets last year? He needs to not do that

going to 3rd there was absolutely the right decision, he just made a horrible throw

Yeah, he had the runner out by a ton. He could've rolled the ball over to seal boy and gotten him out, only a horribly mis-thrown ball doesn't get the out there.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

nice toss, Kyle!

So 3 starters at the deadline then?

Normally being in Coors I wouldn't put much into a bad start from anyone, but Jake and the rest of the rotation (except Lester) might just all suck/be hurt.

[BigSlick]

Really? Really.

[Schwarber Fan]

How does that drop?

Yeah not really basing it on this start, but he hasn't looked all that great this year, nor has Lackey or whoever our 5th starter is. Lester and Hendricks have looked the best but neither of them are even pitching nearly as well as last year and neither are going deep into games.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Man, I thought we were a slightly above average team. I gave us too much credit.

[NotSoSober]

Was Almora playing on the god damn warning track?

[Sammy Sofa]

Holy horsefeathers. This team is in a bad, bad way.

[David]

wait i just assumed almora would catch that

 

damn he was far as horsefeathers

[Cubswin11]

Where the hell was Almora on that

[Irrelevant Dude]

Almora was way too passive on that one. He could have got to the ball much easier than Schwarber.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

you don't see too many 3-run singles

[Cubswin11]

Why was Almora positioned in the CF forest with Ryan horsefeathering Hanigan up

[17 Seconds]

it's funny how the cubs were playing the infield in with 1 out

He's striking out 11+ guys/9 and walking 2.3 w a kind of ridiculous HR/FB rate

 

Today he has given up a couple hard hit balls but also a ton of BABIP crap and the error

Slowing down because Kyle called him off (clear on the replay)

[mul21]

Neil Ramirez just got DFAd so we could grab him.

That isn't how center field works.

[Omar]

alright Heyward call that team meeting

Jake didn't look too bad. Multiple bloopers and a shitty throw/questionable decision by Javy.

Damn peripherals look better than my eye test.

Maybe Almora didn't want to Fowler him and decided to just let the big man try to catch it and get out of the way.
