I'm surprised they didn't wait another day on Braun with an off day tomorrow.

I'm surprised they didn't wait another day on Braun with an off day tomorrow.

I think I would have. I also wish they'd proceeded with the planned Saturday "bat Villar 6th" experiment.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Would love to see Broxton at the top of that lineup, or even Perez though I know he's not necessairily an on base machine when he's not hitting

[pacopete4]

I would love to just see Villar get on base like he did a year ago. That will solve everyone's worrries.

I changed my mind I vote for this

[adambr2]

If karma exists, we'll get into that Cubs pen in the 1st inning today.

[adambr2]

Too bad. Looked like it was going to be another productive first inning.

[pacopete4]

Schwarber is such a bad fielder.

[adambr2]

Real nice start there Chase.

[BuckyBrewer61]

Just feels like we're due for a dud, and the conditions seem prime for it...here's hoping I'm wrong.

[adambr2]

Only 2 hitters in but Chase looks brutal.

[markedman5]

Whatever magic Anderson found in his first few starts of the year seems to have disappeared.

 

Looks like the Chase Anderson of old now

[adambr2]

Too bad we didn't get that out at 2nd, would have been big.

[BuckyBrewer61]

I know they've been halfway decent to date, but our starting pitching is what keeps me from getting excited about the long term prospects of this team

[yfinn6]

Anderson looks rough so far, gonna need some production off Arrieta today.

If the game is even still within reach after the 1st.

[Bigblast]

I feel the same way.

[adambr2]

Cripes Arcia, scoop that.

[adambr2]

Kind of feel fortunate that we're only 3 down. Arrieta has been plenty hittable this year and the wind is blowing out...

[MoreTrife]

Never believed in Chase. So pedestrian.

[adambr2]

Well that was a productive series of ABs.

[adambr2]

Good to see JV swinging a good bat today.

[adambr2]

Thames needs to start finding that power stroke again. Especially on a day like this with the win blowing out. We need him to slug, he's had RISP both times up today.

[adambr2]

Good to hear Rock and BA calling out the Winky, Winky, scratch your head, too rainy to play in the sun when we have a tired pen Cubs for the bush league organization that they've been so far this year.
