[Sammy Sofa]

Congratulations to Yu Darvish for getting his ERA under 5

Second half Darvish?

[NotSoSober]

Second half Darvish?

I heard Heyward was fixed too

[BigSlick]

Chris Archer is surrendering approximately 1 home run every 3.9 innings, so we're about due for one boys

[BigSlick]

Chris Archer leads the league in home runs given up, while only pitching 79 innings. It's truly remarkable

 

Edit: oh he's tied with Darvish lmao. Although Darivsh does have like 20 more innings on him.

[d_money]

Yu’s gotta no no through 1.

Through 2

Through 3

[Omar]

Get a brain, Moran.

So its a mild upset that there haven't been any dongs thus far

[Sammy Sofa]

Archer and Darvish probably had a, "hey, we both used to be pretty good, so let's go tell our teams to go easy on the other guy because he's secretly dying of boneitis, so we can look slightly less awful for once," meeting before the game, and that seems nice.

[BigSlick]

Is it too much to ask to not get perfecto'd through 3? get a baserunner morans

You mean 4?

[We Got The Whole 9]

Lay off the high ones, mule

[UMFan83]

Darvish looking great...not to be a debbie downer but he always seems to have a rough 5th or 6th inning no matter how well he's pitching. Hope that isn't the case today.

Every time I see a Pirate rightfielder going for a fly ball on a sunny day I keep expecting this to happen:

Heyward earning his check in the field today.

Heyward earning his check in the field today.

a mighty fine Edmonds impersonation. i think he's actually going blind

[UMFan83]

God this offense is so annoying

[We Got The Whole 9]

We are very unwatchable at the plate right now

[bcl412]

Man we’re just flailing at everything today

[Brian]

The Cubs ability to be completely confused by pitchers having bad years is quite amazing.

[bcl412]

Darvish can’t have bad post run scoring shut down innings if we don’t score

[Cubswin11]

Almora down to a .284 OBP and 73 wRC+. Just send him down and let Happ have a chance, or better yet make a trade for a good baseball player.

Speak for yourself; I'd look pretty amazing up there.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Finally caught up on the DVR. Fast forwarded through all of Darvish’s innings. Expect a run by the Pirates now that I caught up.

[BigSlick]

so i'm assuming that Manfred switched out the balls over the All-star break and now every game is gonna be like 1-0 with 3 hits total huh
