5/28 World Champion Cubs (Lester) @ Dodgers (Kershaw) 3:10 PM CT CSN/MLBN/670

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Happ is now 2 for his last 19 with 11 strikeouts, we rode out the hot streak but now it's probably time for him to go back to Iowa.

 

who is going with him?

 

No one. Or they can time it for the next time they swap the last reliever to give him a travel buddy, either is fine with me.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Kershaw is coming awfully close to not pausing.

[gobigred]

strange game...can hit for crap for 2 days and now cant seem to miss against this guy.

I'd love to be able to have Zobrist take this at-bat, even with Javy's good day so far.

[Sammy Sofa]

That was depressingly predictable.

[gobigred]

yep makes sense...hit kershaw all over the yard but in comes Josh Fields and its lights out

[UMFan83]

A 3 game series against the Dodgers where literally the only pitcher we produce any offense at all against is Kershaw

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Sucks not to get a run out of that. Would have loved to see Javy put the ball in play.

[17 Seconds]

javy is a very dumb hitter

[Sammy Sofa]

Game should be tied if the Cubs didn't yet again horsefeathers the bed with a runner on 3B and only 1 out.

[17 Seconds]

we get to see that guy suck in the rotation next

[Cubswin11]

Feel like we win this game

[BigSlick]

javy is a very dumb hitter

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not as attached to him as many are on this board

[Gilby]

Meh, let me know when any of Javy's teammates catch him in ops, then I'll consider getting mad at him

[UMFan83]

Also depressing: we are one Hendricks start from the Butler/Arrieta/Lackey portion of the rotation turning over.

For me it's not mad, just disappointed that he can't add that part to his game.

counterargument: we are playing the Padres for the Butler/Arrieta portion of that.

[UMFan83]

 

Every run that's scored has been on HR, Wild pitch, sac fly or error

This was a bad series

[UMFan83]

I just keep thinking about how much more frustrating this season would be if we didn't win it last year. I'm not saying I don't want more and I'm not upset the team is playing so mediocre with the same players that won a title 7 months ago, but a lot of the edge is taken off.

Can you horsefeathering imagine if Kipnis hit one of those Chapman hangers out in the 9th, and the Cubs responded by kicking butts like this in 2017? I would quit baseball.
