IST: Cubs vs. Cardinals

[chibears55]

Fowler Zobrist and Heyward out

Seems like Maddon rests his starters more when Arrieta pitching....

I think key for today is, make Wainwright throw pitches and get to their tired bullpen and Arrieta has to go deep into game
Wood Edward and Chapman best available for today

So which one of our big bats gets HBP today? You know it's coming. Gotta be someone that matters seeing who Monty took out.

Oh, Christ! Wainwright is pitching.

No way we get though one inning without getting beaned, or at least HBP

 

[SilenceS]

Based on this thread. I cant tell if we suck or we are good still

I'm worried about this. Don't need Arrieta retaliation and removal from the game. If we get plinked, have a player charge the mound. We need to have a hockey goon on the team. Keith Magnuson available?

 

[anotheridiot]

kinda surprised Soler is in the game with this slippery field.

 

[SilenceS]

We are raining doubles upon Wainwright

 

[beckdawg]

Soler seems like he figured some things out in his time off.

 

[Shawon0Meter]

The Cubs are doing stuff

 

[beckdawg]

I hope spotting Arrieta 7 runs is enough for him to get a win. Also, here's the cubs piling on runs again!

 

[SilenceS]

They are so going to plunk somebody before today is done

They can have Montero.

No. The very last thing we need is what they want: a brawl.

Just this ass-kicking will do fine. Their fans will blame it on holliday's absence, and nobody will care!

 

[TL1961]

Is Jake determined to let them back in the game?
No comebacks. Give them no hope. Crush them.

 

[beckdawg]

I had a dentist apt and missed the past inning and a half. Anything interesting happen? Last thing I saw before I left was Arrieta singling in I believe the 3rd.

 

[Bear Pride]

I've got to think that teams, even the Cards, are a little less willing to start a beanball war with the Cubs with a 105 mph throwing Chapman in the pen for the Cubs.

Grimm seems to rediscovered his 2015 self.

 

[chibears55]

Justin Grimm July/August

9.2 innings
3 hits
2 walks
11 strikeouts

And this is AT BEST the Cubs fourth best reliever right now.
