5/14 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Cardinals (Wainwright) 1:15 CT WGN/670

[UMFan83]

Game starts in 50 mins. Game thread starters are in disarray.

 

 

 

Cubs lineup: Schwarber, Happ, Rizzo, Russell, Montero, Seal Boy, Javy, Jake, Almora Jr

This team deserves a weekly thread

[Gilby]

Addison Russell is a below average hitter who shouldn't bat in the middle of a major league lineup. There I said it.

[David]

it seems like our big prospects homer in their debut a lot

 

kb being the big exception

[David]

Hi,Guys

[Gilby]

Oh my god, Wainwright's stats this year. I was under the impression he was doing okay.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Addison that was ball 4

[UMFan83]

More futility with RISP

[Schwarber Fan]

That Russell AB is a microcosm of the offensive struggles lately.

[David]

i was wondering if it was just my imagination or not

La Stella just hits

 

just is a carefully chosen word because it describes the effortless ability and the fact that he can't really do anything else

[UMFan83]

God we suck

[Agony and Ivy]

I think it might be time to stop making plans around Cubs games.

[CincyCubsFan]

Jake continues to impress.

I think I'm just going to play whatever game was going on a year ago every day the rest of the season and not watch this one any more.

[Gilby]

Can we just grant Jake his free agency right now?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Jake-O-Meter: 4 years, $65 million.

[UMFan83]

Jake looks like he's gonna get lit up today.

 

And Grichuk continues to hit .650 against the Cubs and .150 against everyone else

[Schwarber Fan]

Well we got 2 no-nos, a Cy Young, and a WS title out of Jake.

[weis21]

is it too late to trade bryant for grichuck?

[davell]

Whatever kind of offer it was that Jake turned down from us......Oops.

At this point, I would not want to offer more than a 1 year deal for Arrieta.
