Well... let's just see if we can generate any offense against a couple of pitchers who have pitched well up to this point.

Also, who did Cleveland lose to the DL that they brought up Melky Cabrera? He signed to a minor league deal with them, and was just called up to the big league club as of Monday. I haven't followed the Tribe terribly closely, did one of their other outfielders go down? Or are they just trying to mix it up a bit, seeing as they're sitting just under .500 for the year up to now...?

I know Zobrist runs well, but its still clogging up the bases for Almora.

I have never seen a pitcher walk so many people, and have it not come back to haunt him, as with Chatwood this year.

The guy is leading a charmed life.

I figured him out..

Walk the guys that can do damage and then get the weaker hitters to hit in Dps, outs

I like it! Not a bad strategy at all... if you can pull it off.

Yeah, well, Javy ruined it by stealing second. Had he not done that, we wouldn't have stranded a RISP...

getting close to 3rd time through the order

Hadda open my big mouth...

Take this guy out.

He can't throw a strike.

Huh?

 

[TL1961]

Can't take him out yet. Joe made out the lineup changes yesterday, and he doesn't have Chatwood coming out until the 4th.

 

[TL1961]

That's a nice outing.

Should have pinch hit for him in the 2nd.

 

[TL1961]

Leave him in, Joe.

He's only at 140 pitches.

 

[Globetrotter]

That was painful to watch.

Down 4-0. Cubs won't play for one run at any time, because they only have 7 innings left!

Fuck that. Top of the order. Let's just get them right back.

Might be a good idea to tune out every Cub's 5th game....this goof is just too painful to watch. How much are they paying this guy again?

It only in the 50s, cubs only score a bunch of runs when it hot out
