6/6 Cubs (Arrieta) vs Marlins (Locke) 7 pm CSN

[Andy]

Keep your horsefeathers together, Cubs.

They're starting Straily and Locke in consecutive games? I didn't realize things were that dire there. This version of the Cubs(2015 to present) have a 1.000+ OPS against those two in over 200 PA.

Jay, Russell, Baez and Almora in the same lineup?

Sounds more like something Addi would do.

A few reasons, I'm sure.

 

I don't think Zobrist has batted right-handed still since hurting his wrist, has he? Seems they're still sitting him out of those games.

 

Jay is 4-for-8 with a walk vs Locke, and hasn't gotten a start since May 30th.

 

Russell has a homer and .867 OPS vs Locke. And he needs to be playing just about everyday because he's second in MLB in defensive runs saved with 12 (and we know he won't keep hitting *this* poorly).

 

Baez is 4 for 6 with a homer vs Locke, and has a career .813 OPS vs left-handed pitching.

 

Almora is 1 for 1 with a double vs Locke, and has a career .912 OPS vs left-handed pitching.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Only problem I have is Heyward hitting 5th but we will likely get Locke out of there early and then he will be there to feast on the righty reliever.

Where's pink hat guy. I get Marlins guy being there.

That inning was

[We Got The Whole 9]

Lot of pitches to get through the 1st

[Cubswin11]

That was a stupid inning

[UMFan83]

Remember when Jake was so good that giving up an earned run prompted this

Lol @ this zone to Rizzo

[NotSoSober]

Lol @ this zone to Rizzo

I loved JDs remark about how great of a hitter Rizzo is with an 0-4 count

Those weren't even really borderline either. Ultimately they didn't matter but man that was embarrassing.
