6/10 Cubs(Darvish) @ Rockies (Marquez) 7:40 PM on NBCSCH

[BigSlick]

lmao lmao lmao i can't help but laugh at almora being unable to take a single pitch and just commit outs at the speed of light

[Gilby]

That was a lot of bad luck for Cishek but throwing a 4th straight backdoor slider probably did the batter a favor

[UMFan83]

Stop horsefeathering striking out looking dude

[soccer10k]

Swing the bat, Kyle.

[Derwood]

Oh, Kyle

[Schwarber Fan]

Need to take the next 2 or else looking at multiple games out of first by Monday.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Called strike 3 was easily the most likely scenario there.

Jesus Christ, no we don’t. Just figure out a way to win 1 game in this stupid horsefeathering park and win 1-2 in LA and we’re fine.

So we're assuming that we're definitely going to lose the series to LA and that the Brewers are going to roll the Giants (remember they just lost 2 of 3 to the Marlins)? Got it.

[Perd]

Yep, gotta swing the bat, there.

[TMan92]

Maybe we can solve the rookie pitcher the second time around.

i can't horsefeathering stand yu darvish. he annoys me way more than heyward ever has

[CyHawk_Cub]

Ehhh just scratch and claw to a split of the next 6 (yeah, it's that simple right?). I'd be very happy with a 3-4 road trip.

I’m at peace with Heyward. I mean, it’s been nearly 4 years, what the hell else can you do

 

Darvish just makes me sad

3.98 FIP, 3.84 xFIP, 9.3 K/9, 2.8 BB/9 over his last 6 starts. Yes, even that is not what we signed him for, but I've definitely backed off the whole 'Darvish is broken' bandwagon.

A lot of people were clamoring for the Cubs to sign a guy who put up 4.16 FIP, 4.11 xFIP, 8.7 K/9, 2.9 BB/9 the year prior and who averaged ~5 2/3 IP per start.

 

Yu is capable of better and I want to see more, but that line will play.

And the VB’s are in Houston the next two nights.

That xFIP and K/9 would have led the Cubs last year. FIP would have been second.

And that's why they play the games.
