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

Where the hell was Almora on that

 

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

That isn't how center field works.

 

we decided that's [expletive] when almora almost killed bryant last year

[David]

almora liner somewhere there isn't a fielder, please

[Cubswin11]

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.

 

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.

 

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

I didn't realize his underlying numbers were that good, okay Jake doesn't suck then. Just some bad luck hopefully evening out soon.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Wow, they get 3 runs on a blooper and we only get a base on a ball off the wall. Not even the Green Monster.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

At least get one here.

[UMFan83]

If we don't score a run here....

i actually misread, the strikeouts are more like 10.5, but yea.

[chicagocubs04]

damn we need some more runs here

[David]

oh for a KB 2 out dong

[Ding Dong Johnson]

scoring only 1 would be so boring

[UMFan83]

If we don't score a run here....

 

....then the next worst thing would be to score only 1 run, on an RBI groundout

[David]

i want red hot bryzzo back from last week

[Schwarber Fan]

The 2017 Cubs are so good at blue-balling.

[Sammy Sofa]

Way to capitalize, dickheads.

[Flames24Rulz]

At least get one here.

 

Well, they listened.

[17 Seconds]

that walk looked great

[Sammy Sofa]

i want red hot bryzzo back from last week

 

Last week? Are we thinking of a different Rizzo?

[sneakypower]

abysmal inning stretch for La Stella; his goofy awkwardness on Baez throw main culprit for E, and dumb baserunning cost another run

[Bryants Disco Ball]

At least get one here.

 

Well, they listened.

 

I'm willing to press my luck and now ask them to stop sucking.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

is it too late to get Clevenger back?

[Schwarber Fan]

Man, Jake is lost. This isn't good.

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm sure Len and JD are talking about "no lead is safe at Coors" as if we won't get shut down by Senzatela the rest of the way.

[Sammy Sofa]

Ohhhh, so THIS is the 14-game skid.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

forget Floro, put Russell in at SS and let Javy pitch

[javy knows my name]

Shitty defense, shitty hitting, shitty baserunning, and shitty pitching. Otherwise, we're playing great
