6/17 Resurging Cubs (Arrieta) @ Pirates (Nova) 7:15 CT FOX

[David]

wow ian happ

 

so weird...there was talk of him not having a position but he seems more than adequate in a few spots

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Jim Edmonds is blushing at how much the Pirates dive in the outfield.

 

Apparently unnecessarily diving is contagious in Pittsburgh.

[davell]

Jake accepting the QO seems like a real possibility.

[UMFan83]

Maybe don't send Arrieta out there in 5 days like nothing is ailing him.

 

Who knows how long that would take to heal but maybe. Maybe they are waiting for Anderson to come back. Then we can have a rotation consisting of Lester, Lackey, Anderson, Montgomery and Butler!

[Cubswin11]

He Edmond's that almost as much as McCutchen did in the 2nd or 3rd

[UMFan83]

Our number 2 hitter everyone!

Can Lester pitch every other day?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

M-maybe Happ is the best choice to play CF...

 

Jason Heyward gets under that ball, yawns, scratches his crotch and then catches it. Even slow-ass Almora gets it without a dive.

Bryant looks awful today. Maybe 2 straight days off isn't great for all hitters. Think he struck out in his AB yesterday

[Cubswin11]

Sweet inning, fellas

He didn't get an AB yesterday, they IBB'd him.

Didn't he get one before that one?

He struck out his first PA, was IBB'd in the 9th.

Yes

[Agony and Ivy]

Brian Duensing is the horsefeathering human surrender flag

 

Edit: it's Grimm but whatever I still hate Duensing

that home run pisses me off

 

McCutchen hasn't hit a fastball north of 91 mph in 3 years and you start him with a slider

Lol, people think Happ is better than Heyward defensively.

[weis21]

honest question: is heyward the best defensive player ever?

[Cubswin11]

DONG!

[Cubswin11]

horsefeathering defense, should be a tie game at worst and probably in the lead

[CaliforniaRaisin]

honest question: is heyward the best defensive player ever?

 

Just in my lifetime, Ken Griffey Jr, Omar Vizquel and (I assume) Ozzie Smith are better.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

That flip was beautiful, Javy.
