6/4 - Cubs (Stroman) vs Padres (Weathers): 4:30pm, Marquee

[Brock Beauchamp]

After two games of a wraparound series, the Cubs and Padres have a split on their hands. The Cubs have the distinct pitching advantage today with Stro on the mound. And thankfully, the game doesn't start so damned late today.

Given the current composition of the roster, this is exactly the lineup that should be playing, right? I guess Mervis could be in there, but with a lefty on the mound (2 for 13, 8 Ks), not ideal.

Can they finally break 3 runs in a game? 

[Derwood]

Happ is slumping HARD

[UMFan83]

Why is this series going through Monday? Weird

[PackLandVA]

Nice start, with a little help.

I don't understand how umpires miss these when the fielder is behind the base and tag the guy on the knee, obviously safe in real time

I thought he was safe too. Awful position by the ump being behind the catcher. He needs to be on the side to get a good view.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I'm sorry but that is unacceptable incompetence, that absolutely cannot be the outcome, it's borderline play under protest stuff

Yan Gones!!! 2-0 Cubs!

[Nolansomebody]

Where has this offense been?

[PackLandVA]

Hendricks pissed as today’s offensive outburst most likely means two or less runs scored tomorrow

Umps struggling with their positioning today.. How does that ump jog in front of the runner on that type of play???

Seriously. You know it’s a force play so the runner is going right to the bag. No reason to be in that position.

[Derwood]

Amaya just low key going 3-3 and has a .375 average

[Tryptamine]

Stroman is going to net them a significant prospect.

Only 6 games under .500. What an accomplishment

Not that I went out on any limb yesterday, but (predictably) spot on.
