5/10 Cards (Montgomery) @ Cubs (Steele) 6:40 PM CT

[Bertz]

The Cubs have lost 3 in a row and 9 of 12

So we're breaking out the big guns

The Cards are throwing out their one good starter, Jordan Montgomery.  Our offense is going to have its hands full trying to not do anything infuriating

The Cubs are countering with Justin Steele, who has been awesome for going on a full year now

Go Cubs

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Guessing we'll see all the RHH, so it's a matter of if Bellinger or Mervis sits to start.  Mervis hasn't looked super comfortable at the plate, so a day off and an off day to exhale after this past week might be the preference.  That'd give you Madrigal at 2B, Morel at 3B, and Wisdom/Mancini 1B/DH.  Otherwise Bellinger sits and you have Wisdom at 3B and Morel in CF.

Gomes is back as catcher. Strange how the Cubs are still keeping Suzuki in the middle of the batting order.

lol is that Matty C as your avatar?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Getting swept to not only destroy our season but fix the Cardinals will be hilarious 

[profisme]

Good eye by Morel results in a K to end the inning. Fun. 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Not one pitch in the zone to Morel that at bat. Him and the ump messed that at bat.

[Bobson Dugnutt]

This ump is terrible.

[profisme]

One thing that stood out about Amaya was his receiving of the pitches. He is already good at that. Gomes is bad. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

It sucks that Willson is fully embracing his heel turn.

[CubinNY]

Demoralizing 

[profisme]

Hey look another shitty call 

[profisme]

Wait, the horsefeathering filter didn’t catch that?

Strike three!

[UMFan83]

Booo the 2 ER or less streak ends for Steele

[profisme]

Yepez never should have been on base. Steele has gotten hosed by this home plate ump a lot tonight. 

[profisme]

Nice to see that from Morel. He seems to be very willing to go with the pitch and not roll over on it. 

[UMFan83]

Ahh I see we’re doing the whole “get a weeks worth of runs in one game so our overall numbers look good” thing

And still hit it 112+ mph

I was a madrigal defender before the season,  but I'm so over him. Who cares if he makes lots of contacts when it's all soft rollers and he has moderate speed.
