Cubs are questionable in run production this year. Reason why Lake and Olt need to be playing every day.

Dbacks are scoring 3.52 runs per game and the cubs right now are scoring 3.79 runs per game. I get the argument for that improving but the cubs offense should improve in about 2 months too. Their pitching might go to shit if they trade Shark and Hammel though.

I'm starting to wonder if Chris Bosio is the new Dave Duncan. How the hell do the cubs keep picking up guys for $5-6 mil and turning them into such decent pitchers?

Welcome to the Club. Been expecting you

I thought he was good before but it's getting ridiculous. This is the third straight year they've picked some random guy off the street and managed to make him a decent. Fucking voodoo or some shit!

Great plays in the field by Lake and Barney.

Two pretty nice defensive plays by Lake and Barney keeps AZ off the bases in the first. Bonifacio walking to start the game. Good start.

IMO, Bosio is elite. He's in the class of Coop now and that's about as good as it gets.

Can we like million dollar man a combo between Baez and Barney? He's making some pretty ridiculous plays at 2B today but still can't hit to save his life.

Miley's at 71 pitches already so they should get into AZ's bullpen soon but he's pitched pretty well today outside the first inning. Hopefully they can do some work to the bullpen.

Ruggiano is slowly turning things around. He's not fantastic by any means but he's now hitting .235/.316/.353 which is approaching not terrible.

Does it strike anyone else as odd that the cubs are having Sayers and dick butkus as part of all of this? I mean don't get me wrong I love the bears and they did obviously play in Wrigley but I think I would have liked to have seen more focus on past cubs.

I think they need to get rid of guest conductors. They are pretty fucking brutal.

Shark is gonna lose his mind if Strop blows this. Also, Bosio looks like a dufus with the old school uni with the new school jacket.

Throw it over the heart of the plate. Campana is not swinging
