5/2 Cubs (Darvish) vs. Rockies (Anderson) 1:20 NBC Sports Chicago/MLBN

[Old Style]

Could be worse. We could have arrieta

Blame his agent for being too greedy.

[Omar]

(the rotation - darvish) + bullpen = 5 game win streak

[Bobson Dugnutt]

Yes. But still

[minnesotacubsfan]

Why fake the injury. Hes broke

[Sammy Sofa]

I'd like to think that Adbert would just be Almora with an outrageous fake mustache.

hahahahahahahahaha

[BigSlick]

I've barely paid attention to the team in the past 6 months so that is exactly who i thought this 'Adbert' person was

[Cubswin11]

Score runs idiots, this thing is still relatively in reach

[TMan92]

5th inning Garbish

[Sammy Sofa]

Hello Baez my old friend.

[Cubswin11]

Javy going back to being an idiot at the plate is one of the only bad things going on right now I’m not confident in turning around

[Schwarber Fan]

Just being mowed down by some generic lefty.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Suppose it was unfair to ask Baez to change so quickly. At this point, it was simply a Soriano hot streak, which was pretty awesome.

[Cubswin11]

KB!

[Schwarber Fan]

5 more of those would be nice.

[Cubswin11]

Some combination of Zobrist, Schwarber, Bryant, Rizzo and Willy need to be hitting 1 through 5 (or 3 or 4 depending on who’s in the lineup) moving forward regardless of the pitcher.

I'm sticking with my, "his ceiling is Soriano with awesome 2B defense" theory, which is still pretty great.

Yeah that’s perfectly fine. Just any hope on seeing the approach being “fixed” is pretty much out the window for me with seeing him lately, he’s back to being a godless hacker. Throw him back to hitting 7/8 and playing the great defense.

I just saw a shot of Coomer in the booth. He has always been big, but geeze!

I love the guy, but as a player, Coomer looked like a random dad at a fantasy camp.

This is unrelated to your comment on his personal appearance, but the more I listen to him on the radio the more he feels like Ron Santo. Maybe a little more with it, and a little less of an unabashed homer with his heart on his sleeve, but definitely get the same overall vibe from him.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

We also had an eight-game stretch in June-July 2015 in which we scored three or fewer runs: 1, 2, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2.

 

At least it hasn't been that bad.

Jesse Rogers leading the Darvish bashing charge on twitter like the troll he is. I get he hasn't been good but it's weird to see a "professional" writer be so meatheaded and irrational. It's annoying but Darvish has always had some blowout starts ever since he's been in MLB. Last year he had 10 starts of 5 or less innings and 7 starts of 4 or more ER, his stuff and velocity looks fine so there's really no reason to believe he's going to be a 8 ERA bum of a pitcher but Cubs twitter gonna Cubs twitter.

[Schwarber Fan]

See ya'll in St. Louis.
