  1. Isn't Willson supposed to be a good framer? He hasn't been doing Jake many favors, stabbing at a lot of balls. I also kinda feel his exaggerated movements on blocking balls in the dirt throws Jake off his rhythm by making it seem like those pitches are mini crises that are being averted. From a gut assumption/snap judgement, Contreras has seemed pretty farty behind the plate this year relative to expectations.
  2. Alright, pick up for your trash pitcher and get that run back, Cubs.
  3. It looked like a Cubs starter was going to go more than 6 innings today, and that had to be put to a stop.
  4. Though he's got everyone's meltdown-sense tingling at the moment...
  5. I believe if Zobrist is leading off, they won't be batting the pitcher 8th. Nuts to that; put Russell back in his comfort zone.
  6. There's an impostor on the mound with a fake Jake beard and hat.
  7. Happ is PUMPED: http://www.csnchicago.com/sites/csnchicago/files/2017/02/23/ian-happ-0223.jpg
  8. I really do like the thought of Zobrist batting lead off until Schwarbs figures his stuff out. It only matters once really, but I'd rather have Zobrist and his .350-.360 on-base percentage start our first inning, because it's a great opportunity to score a run with who is behind him. Granted, I'd put Schwarber in the cleanup spot and not No. 2, but still. Basically I'm good with almost any lineup of Bryant, Rizzo, Schwarber and Zobrist somehow making up the first four spots.
  9. Lineup changes working nicely thus far. I say go whole hog and have Russell bat after the pitcher instead of #8.
  10. Part of me would be annoyed that the meatballs would get so much satisfaction if Schwarber started hitting now that he's not hitting leadoff, but a MUCH bigger part of me is, like, "horsefeathers it; I just wanna see some dongs." And that was a good start, Zobrist.
  11. Schwarber plays LF with all of the finesse of a Gamorrean guard.
  12. Jerry, it's Frank Costanza! Mr. Ricketts is here, Jake is dead, call me back!
  13. Dammit, why did the Cubs poke the Bear. Now they're triple-doomed.
