Ugh, I expect Fowler out the next couple days.
-
Lackey should be good for all of 4 innings at this rate.
-
Well that was an absolutely moronic safety squeeze. Now you leave it up to Ross and Lackey.
-
Brewers taking the nice long at bats while the Cubs go down hacking in 10 pitches. This feels exactly like yesterday.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 5-16-16
Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
If he's locating that curve now and the the change can be average to slightly above, we could have our first legitimate top of the rotation prospect under Theo. -
Matt Harvey with another 5ER game in 5.2 IP. Combine that with Matz skipping a start due to elbow soreness and degrom's K rate down nearly 3 per 9 innings and his fastball velocity down nearly 2.5mph and people in New York have to be freaking out.
-
Just don't roll over it for two.
-
Throwing strikes to a guy who is trying to give you an out is truly difficult. Good job.
-
Well, looks like Lester is going to be lucky to go 6 after a 25 pitch 1st.
-
His 10.7BB% is way above league average and his 22.6K% is down near 7.5% from last year, so why is Soler OPSing .552? I'm afraid the changes the Cubs made to get more loft in his swing are probably cause for what we're seeing this year. His LD% is down 7 from last year and his FB% is up from 30% to 43% which is Bautista territory. All of this would be fine if Soler was putting up premier slugging ratios like 20%HR/FB, but he's only putting up 8.5%HR/FB. Thanks to those drastic changes in batted ball profile you can't even call his .202babip unlucky. The off season changes basically took away what Soler does best, hit missiles. Last year's Soler with a 10.7BB% and 22.6% is very likely an .800+ OPS guy.

Well that pretty much wipes out any quality pitching that was available in next year's FA class.
-
Wow, that was the most Cardinalish horsefeathers I've ever seen.
-
Sure am glad Baez is still on the bench.....
-
What is with all this bunting nonsense?
-
That was a fantastic pick by Zobrist. I thought that ball was bound for RF.
-
Letting Hammel hit for himself and then using Patton in a high pressure inning. Joe isn't having a real good day.
-
I'm not sure why Patton has to make his mlb debut during a game like this. It's not like the Cubs don't have enough blow out games to get him some low pressure innings.
-
This ump really sucks.
-
2B it is.
-
The only question is will he roll it over to the 2B or 1B.
-
Finally some luck for Russell
-
Thank god, Harper with no one on.
-
He's not good, just chuck it down the middle and make him earn it.
-
It's going to be this Strop eh?
-
First team to score wins with this strike zone
