8/6 Cobs (Lester) vs A's (Anderson) 7:05 NBCSCH+

[Andy]

The Home Cubs were nearly derailed by a bad case of unforeseen (or in the case of Cishek dying, completely foreseen) problems...

 

 

But their home win streak continues, and this won't happen to Joe, yet.

 

 

Next comes Brett Anderson, who used to be on the Cubs before being

 

 

Probably a good time to really kick this offense up another notch. Hopefully by the end of the game Oakland will be asking

 

 

Also, I will be at this game, and tomorrow's too, so please don't screw it up for me.

[Brian]

like I said at the end of the other thread Big Jon we need you to go 9

[TMan92]

Looks like wind is flipping tomorrow

The Ex-Cub vs the Ex-A

 

Both will want to beat their old team for sure.

[bcl412]

Lester as an A is a thing I barely remember. I know Anderson wasn’t a fan of his time as a cub

[UMFan83]

Attention bullpen arms that haven't died yet:

I just remember him getting blown up in the Wild Card game and thinking 'are we sure we want this dude?' Whoops

He was really excellent in his short time in Oakland. 2.35 ERA/3.13 FIP

[Soul]

Rush Morrow back. He had another procedure done, but rush him back anyway.

i wanna say they traded for him in part out of some sense of desperation because samardzija and/or hammel pitched like trash for them in their first couple of weeks

[bcl412]

I think we’re gonna continue winning despite bullpen injuries with blow outs and heart attack saves like last night

For one more game.

[BigSlick]

Home Cobs Magic will continue, but will immediately dissipate the second they step foot on the road

[UMFan83]

The Cubs have only lost 1 home series all year, to the Reds in May

 

13-1-4 in home series

4-13-1 in road series

[Brian707]

Home Cobs Magic will continue, but will immediately dissipate the second they step foot on the road

 

Road Cubs

 

[squally1313]

 

Sure, whatever

[weis21]

Can we please get Happ a start sometime?

[badger]

Switch Happ with Almora and I'm cool.

[Sammy Sofa]

Dude should be in over Bote or Almora.

[CyHawk_Cub]

A buddy just argued with me that Happ hasn't "earned the right" to start and his .400 OBP is SSS noise.

 

Same buddy: Almora should start because he has something like a 1.200 OPS the last 2 weeks.

[Sammy Sofa]

What you don't buy that a .438 .412 1.000 1.412 line based off of 18 PA with no walks, where 3 of his 7 hits have been dongs on the back of a .400 BAbip, isn't sustainable? THE DEVIL YOU SAY.

[Brian]

Someone could do a masters level thesis on the cult of Albert Almora. How and why did it happen.

It's an insidious movement that must be crushed.

Test or IL Bryant please.
