Im starting this one. Hopefully, the Cubs can win their first series. The game is currently in a rain delay but Len Kasper said it shouldnt be to long.

Renteria is platooning again. I dont get it. Arroyo isnt this extremely tough righty. Olt and Lake should be getting the at bats. Instead, shitty Kalish and Valbuena are starting.

Renteria is Special person for platooning every time. Especially with shitties like Kalish, Sweeney, Baker etc. I agree Lake should probably be an every day guy unless he proves otherwise. Olt is struggling, but it could be due to lack of PA's. Same goes for Lake.

Seems pretty dumb not to see if these kids can handle it everyday and it really dont make sense since and I may be wrong but didn't they face a ton of righties in minors when they played everyday there

Hopefully they avoid Veras this game. They really need a win.

Haha poor Wood has to drive in the runs himself if he actually wants a win. And he may have to pitch all 13 innings to avoid the blowpen for ruining it as well haha

I'm starting to wonder if I was wrong about Travis Wood. I thought he was good but not top of the rotation good. His 10.08 k/9 and 1.44 bb/9 to go along with a 2.52 ERA is making me think that his 2013 year may not have been an abnormality. They probably need to start talking about locking him up long term to go along with Shark.

You mean it probably was a good trade for Sean Marshall ?

I knew he was going to be good in 2011. He kept his Whip around 1.20 even at his worst. Age wise he was young. He is top of the rotation quality.

What's rather shocking is his k totals. He's thrown 4 games and put up 9 k's twice, 8 k's once and a 2 k performance vs the Yanks.
