5/2 Cubs already beating the Reds

[Schwarber Fan]

Pull him

[Gilby]

I was actually kind of confident the rotation would be OK, mostly because I thought Kyle and Davies would combine for a 3.50 ish era (and those two, especially Kyle will probably figure it out) but YIKES

[Little Slide Rooter]

I miss Yu Darvish.

Yeah so far the gambles have all gone the wrong way and the one pitcher you felt you could rely on has gone south at all. Jake has been fine outside of Friday and Alzolay has been encouraging but outside of that yikes is right

[Schwarber Fan]

Is Maples good now?

[Derwood]

Cubs starters came into today with a .354 wOBAa which is dead last in baseball by .008.

 

Other stats of note:

 

SLG - 28th .468 (.004 behind last)

OBP - 30th .347 (.005 “ahead”

BA - 29th .268 (.001 behind last)

ERA - 30th 5.70 (tied for last with LAA, 28th best team has a 5.28 ERA)

 

Great stuff

 

Those numbers will all improve in our next series against *checks schedule* the Dodgers

Jesus, KB is so damn good.

[Tim]

KBoom

He’s locked in. Robot like.

[abuck1220]

well at least one of the cubs’ pending free agents likes money.

[d_money]

The strike zone this whole series has been bad

[Tim]

Welcome to the majors. Here's Joey Votto.

[Schwarber Fan]

I’m in love with Nico Hoerner.

[Derwood]

Lifetime contract for Hoerner

[d_money]

Nico’s on a mission

[Schwarber Fan]

Lots of bad breaks for Mills this inning. Unfortunately this Reds lineup is too dangerous to get away with it.

[Schwarber Fan]

F this inning. F the Reds.

[UMFan83]

Lol 1 strike from getting out of it and he hits him

[Schwarber Fan]

Couple of seeing eye singles, and 2 HBPs that result from crowding the plate. BS inning.

[Derwood]

This lineup can't outscore this pitching staff

[Tryptamine]

On the bright side, Bryant and Kimbrel are doing everything in their power to increase their trade values and speed up the inevitable rebuild.

[Schwarber Fan]

Well if we can get a shutdown inning we may have a chance. Kinda wanna see Garrett pitch in this game.

[Bertz]

That Barnhart ball is only a hit 7% of the time. What a bandbox today

[UMFan83]

Well if we can get a shutdown inning we may have a chance. Kinda wanna see Garrett pitch in this game.

 

Narrator: we did not get a shutdown inning

[Schwarber Fan]

This is “one of those games,” but unfortunately it won’t be the only one for us.
