4/6 Cubs (Alzolay) vs. Brewers (Peralta) 6:40 PM

[Bertz]

Cubs won their third in a row last night on the back of a stellar start from Trevor Williams. When asked after the game what changed going from the Pirates to the Cubs he offered up one difference

 

 

Tonight is Adbert Alzolay's first start of the year. He was incredible late last year, so here's hoping it carries over. If he stays that good we might start referring to his starts as AlzoDAY

 

 

Taking the mound for the Brewers is Freddy Peralta. He's been kind of crappy as a starter in his career but great in middle relief. Because of that he's known as "Middle Relief Freddy," or MR F for short

 

 

Let's Go

[bukie]

All-day Alzolay on the mound.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

That Mister F ref is one of the best game thread bits I've ever seen

I have DirecTV. Should I be able to use the Marquee TV app on a Roku? I can't get it to work. Keep getting API failure content restricted error. I try to log in, and it won't let me sign in with my directv info. Thanks for any help

Alzolay might not be the answer.

Pitching lab needs a QA team

[Brian]

can you not steal 1st on a pitch that hit you?

[Tim]

I guess Narvaez is the random Brewer that will never make an out against us this year.

Play is dead when it hits you

[Brian]

this time yesterday it was the 5th inning

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Is Peralta hanging every slider he throws on purpose, has he ever thrown one before

[UMFan83]

Live season batting average for the Cubs: .144 (17-118)

[Schwarber Fan]

Looking forward to seeing Shelby Miller soon.

[Brian]

yelich is shook

[Schwarber Fan]

So much for productive outs.

[Schwarber Fan]

I’m so tired of this Peralta clown. One trick pony.

[Brian]

this is a lost cause, give me a big dan dong

[Brian]

cubs have to lead the league in players that look like they could be on a high school team

 

wolters

duffy

sogard

davies

[Brian]

show me that willy swing without the end result and I assume the ball is bouncing off a building across the street

[Bertz]

So, this bullpen is horsefeathering good

[Schwarber Fan]

This game has been endlessly dumb. Hopefully Hendricks is on his game tomorrow.

[Derwood]

So, this bullpen is horsefeathering good

 

And this lineup is somehow horrible
