Well played, sir

Both the Braves and Indians need to change their names and logos. Fucking disgusting.

How many games will Marmol appear in?

How many games will Marmol appear in?

I thought about making the poll "How many games will Marmol blow?" haha

Feldman better pitch good. If his spring was any indication, we're in for a long day. Hopefully he'll be the opposite of Chris Volstad from last year.

Pitching and defense has looked very good (besides Marmol of course). I know it's the Pirates, but still it's nice to see.

Yeah, Feldman had some rough outings and the Braves have a pretty strong lineup. This will be a tough series. We better bring our bats to life for this one. 2 hits and a run isn't going to win any games here.

Our starting pitching has been very impressive so far. I don't know if we can go to Marmol again tomorrow if we have the lead.

The offesnse has been atrocious to start hte season. Luckily for us Pittsburgh's was worse. Very happy with the way we started every game from a pitching standpoint. Today was good getting everyone in the pen to hold the lead except for that one guy. Hopefully we can keep in up against Atlanta. I have a feeling the Braves will feast on Feldman.

 

[Mr. Cub]

Cubs gonna get this series.

Our hitting is pathetic. Wouldn't be surprised if we end up last in the league on base on balls because we have no plate discipline. If it wasn't for the pitching, I'd have us losing 120+ games this year.

 

[dabynsky]

As disappointing as the offense has been, the pitching has been that good. Suspect it will even out some as we move on because some hits will fall in for the Cubs as we go along (1-6 of the lineup is not that bad, but they aren't hitting and 7-8 are subreplacement level players). 2-0 versus right handers so far and 0-2 versus left handers.

I'm really starting to like this Schierholtz guy.

I'm really starting to like this Schierholtz guy.

I've always liked him. I actually wanted the Cubs to trade for him a few years back. The Cubs brought him more for a D than anything (besides the cheap part).

You all may know more than me -- but doesn't the dude have a cannon of an arm? Seems like I read that somewhere.
