Cubs have a spare starter in edwin Jackson if they want him..
[emoji51]

Nah, if we trade him to St. Louis, he'll end up winning the Cy Young and having an ERA of 1.25.... let's trade him to the AL :lol:

Just thinking why another reason this short bench hurts them..

They have no one to really replace Soler, Rizzo, Castro, Fowler, or Bryant to give them a day or two off if their slumping, minor injury, or just rest without really weakning the lineup. .

Just looking at Soler AB last couple games. He just looks like someone who could use a game off or 2 to gather himself. .

Who gonna replace him in RF/Lineup? Denorfia ?

Talk about a drop off

Thank God MLB fix the sound. I had no sound on the Cubs broadcast and I refused to watch the Cinci broadcast. Arrieta looks good today. They are beating the ball on the ground. Keep Hamilton off the bases and he should have a strong outing today.

Arietta is rolling through 3. Hope he keeps it up. He has like 30 pitches.

I want to see Montero/Castillo as the catchers. It looks like Montero is getting it going a bit.

Good spot for Russell to get some RBI here.

Big knock. Arrieta is just going to continue to attack the Reds hitters. Should be fun to watch.

That AB didn't look like it was going to go well, and then BAM! he rips one to clear the bags. Good job.

So far its looking more towards what this teams gets from their pitching more then hitting as they continue to score 4+ runs on average. ..

Tough pitch to get an ER on. Wasn't even in the zone.

Nice job getting out of the jam

Hopefully Soler can get out of his funk here

Been quite some time since Arrieta has looked like this

Let's get out of it!
