5/26: Cubs(Arrieta) @ LAD (Wood) 9:10 ABC7/MLBN

Did not go into this season thinking that Addison, Willson and Schwarber combined would be a giant pile of suck. What the hell.

Russell was doing well until this shoulder thing started

 

That doesn't exactly make me feel better.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Come on Jake, he hasn't went deep since 2013.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Ugh, they're playing RHCP at Dodger Stadium. What a hellhole.

Oh I know, just pointing out that we can likely point to a definable thing with Russell that hopefully heals and gets better. Rather than maybe the other 2 have some flaws/we are in for growing pains.

Their PA announcer sounds like he should be a truckasauras rally

I just assumed that's why tomorrow's game doesn't start til 6

[Cubswin11]

HR aside, Jake's stuff looks good tonight

What about on SUNDAY-SUNDAY-SUNDAY?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Alex Wood whines a lot on the mound. Makes Lackey look like a saint.

[Schwarber Fan]

I can't wait til these idiot Dodger announcers realize that Wood isn't going to make it to the 6th at this rate.

Hate to be that guy but Happ has struck out in 6 of his last 8 AB. Time to start thinking about counter adjustments

He def needs to cut down, but that last AB was really solid. I was surprised that Almora wasn't in CF tonight, however with how big this OF is and Jake on the mound.

You're not being that guy. That's my biggest worry with him.

[Cubswin11]

Figure it out, Jake

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Way to get out of it. Now get some runs.

[imb]

I turned it off rather than watch Russell bat

[Cubswin11]

These jerks better get to Wood 3rd time thru next inning then let Roberts mismanage the pen. Even tho no runs this is more like 2016 Cubs where the pitcher is near 100 pitches thru 5 and almost sure to be over by sometime in the 6th.

[Cubswin11]

Great effort Jake

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Hell of a play.

[Cubswin11]

I know he was losing his footing, but if he can stay on his feet just a bit longer before diving for the bag I think it's a clear out

[NotSoSober]

Thats a mighty fine play, and I think he may have actually got him

Yeah, they've taken some good PAs, but Wood's been pretty filthy.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Brandon Phillips tried the hidden ball trick on the Giants just now (and failed).

[Aaron_Kennelly]

lol

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

Just got back from Cards-Rockies. Delicious.
