6/5 Rockies (Marquez) @ Cubs (Darvish) 7:05 PM on WGN, MLBN

[SouthSideRyan]

As, Kindergarten Cop foretold, The Rockies aren't so tough without their Car.

 

German Marquez is starting for the Rockies, so expect Justin Germano to get his first mention on a Cubs broadcast since we all swore to never speak of him again. Also to learn an interesting tidbit about Amed Rosario.

 

Today's life lesson brought to you by present day Paul Kilgus. A little less mustache goes a long way.

Yeah...weird flip there. If you ignored the last month, you could kinda see how they weren't fans of Willson's framing, and thought they needed someone with better framing skills to catch Hendricks. But given the month the Kyle has just had, doesn't really make a lot of sense to switch up how things were going. Maybe Contreras was just dealing with something last night.

This is the longest Almora has gone between starts this season.

 

He started 20 of 22 before this break, slashing .266/.310/.544

[We Got The Whole 9]

Murphy ensuring Darvish is out after 5. What a [expletive].

[Sammy Sofa]

Impressed he's through 2 with under 40 pitches after that [expletive] Murphy's AB.

Len just said the Cubs have agreed to terms with Kimbrel!

I guess we should thank Julianna for being a cheating whore? ALLEGEDLY!

[Sammy Sofa]

Yu looking pretty damn good.

[Schwarber Fan]

Lol @ that hit and run attempt

[We Got The Whole 9]

Did we just call a hit and run with Yu Darvish or was that all Bote?

[Sammy Sofa]

Bote, you dope.

[NotSoSober]

Hot damn. the Kimbrel signing and Yu has only walked 1 batter through 4 innings? It's like Christmas

Another reason to hate Pat Fitzgerald. He can't even throw from the rubber

 

[Sammy Sofa]

Brewers down 6-1 to the Marlins. That's what, 22 runs they've given up to them in 15 innings?

And the Brewers have a pretty strong chance of getting swept at home by the horsefeathering Marlins.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Catch the ball Willy

[NotSoSober]

If Contreras catches that it's a strike

It’s about time that pitching staff imploded.
