6/1: Cubs(Quintana) @ Cards(Flaherty) 6:15 on FOX

[Schwarber Fan]

I’m sure walking the pitcher won’t come back to haunt us.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Good move walking the pitcher to lead off the inning.

Of course not.

[Schwarber Fan]

Shaping up nicely to be a typical BS game at Busch.

 

I’ll say the Cards get a cheap run in the 6th and then the rain comes.

[Sammy Sofa]

That they already extended David horsefeathering Bote, who swings at everything like he thinks he needs to annihilate the ball to the moon with every horsefeathering pitch, just epitomizes the inherent flaws in their approach to the roster they've built/how they've developed players/tried to "fix" players they've brought in.

 

Outside of Bryant, Rizzo, Contreras and Baez, everyone else is a [expletive] disaster.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Hopefully, Darvish's recent improvement is not a mirage. Otherwise, it'll quickly be Kyle Hendricks + 4 nothingburgers for a rotation.

[Sammy Sofa]

When Len was saying it was a matter of "when" and not "if," I couldn't tell if he was talking about the rain or the Cubs getting knocked out of 1st.

[Sammy Sofa]

Please don't remind me of how the Cubs fucked up getting Verlander instead of Quintana, you jagoff.

[Schwarber Fan]

Just suspend the thing and finish tomorrow, it’s going to get extremely wet.

[CyHawk_Cub]

I console myself with the knowledge that no way would Verlander have been as good with the Cubs.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Astros are just better than the Cubs in a multitude of ways. Hell, they're even better at having a wife-beater who is more productive than our wife-beater.

...How did you mean that...?? That he's a "better beater," or a "better batter..??"

So compared to the half the lineup who are potential MVP caliber, the other half doesn't measure up. You don't say?

[BigSlick]

When was the last time this team got a non-HR RBI hit? Did they even get one in the Astros series?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Bote RBI infield single on Monday. Off Rondon, I believe.

[UMFan83]

It was the Bote IF hit. Last time they got a legit RBI hit was Bote’s GW double against the Reds last Saturday. 16 of last 18 runs have been on HR

[Schwarber Fan]

Ugh, Brewers lead.

[Forgotmyoldlogin]

If this wasn’t a Saturday I think I’d turn off the TV and go to bed.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Keston Hiura entered this season with 17 pro HR in about 725 PA

 

He hit his 16th today as he just passed 200 PA

 

If I were a scout I'd be hanging em up. Who knows what is even what anymore with these joke baseballs they're using.

 

Austin Riley has 8 in 16 games played so far.

[Schwarber Fan]

I’m honestly not sure why they’re waiting this out. They aren’t starting before midnight at the earliest.

Watching Bryant, Rizzo, Baez, Contreras play baseball is lie watching Cpt America on every pitch. I guess its cute.

[TMan92]

Willson, Bryant and Baez have completely stopped hitting.

[UMFan83]

Willson, Bryant and Baez have completely stopped hitting.

 

Bryant is 11 for his last 30 with 5 XBH coming into today but yeah the other 2 have gone very cold

[Andy]

Very clever of STL to bring in a 3 hour rain delay to force our bullpen to pitch more
