If Baez, Contreras or Hamels goes down..were fucked.

. Very true.

They had a lot of guys have career years last year. They also blew up part of their rotation for no apparent reason and now have 3 kids starting (1 now that 1 is hurt and 1 got sent down). They are still very good but they do not have any depth like they did last year. Jeffress is down 5 mph and is about ready to blow. Hader was down a few ticks last night but is probably fine.

Yelich is amazing.....Their Pen is also not nearly as good as it was last year.

They played over their heads vs the Pythagorean last year, it's going to catch up.

Can't wait for Beta-Bert @ Bleacher Nation try to spin this as a good start for Darvish

(￣^￣) (￣^￣)

Holy shit, this game is getting totally out of hand - even Greinke is getting in on the hitting action.
WTF were the Cubs thinking by signing Darvish? He has a history of injuries and missing lots of games, choked in two games in the World Series and the Cubs sign him at the age of 30 to a 6 year contract when they could have had Arrieta for 3 years.

They blew it on Darvish. Period.

They also fucked up by not re-signing Wade Davis

Yeah I can see while Theo has had his money hand slapped.

Good thing they’re not wasting any runs trying to come back. Very efficient.

Tomorrow is an extremely important game an they are going to throw fucking Chatwood out there instead of letting Q go on NORMAL rest. Another thing, stop putting Schwarber out there. He is completely useless at this point. He is a wasted spot in the lineup. Putting him 8 and the pitcher 9 pretty much ensures 3 extremely easy innings for the opposing pitcher.

I'm done with Schwarber, send him down or trade him for anything. Put Kris in left and Bote @ 3rd. I think k Chatwood gets the win today.

Heyward getting another day off during one of his hottest streaks of his career. He is 6 for 15 against lefties. And they're off tomorrow.

Who is this guy they started instead of Chatwood? 43 pitches through 4 is Maddux-esque.

Move Yu to the bullpen and give Chatwood his starting spot once Lester is back

Let's see if Joe PH for Chatwood here because he doesn't want him to face the top of the D-Backs' line up one more time.

But he's only 6 pitches under the pace for a Maddux, so shit you have to let him keep going.

I'd guess that Strop didn't want Dyson beating out a grounder there, but you've got to make him hit the elevated curve ball in the air to RF.

Meanwhile, the legend of David Bote continues.

That was a hell of a job by Chatwood. I did not expect to see that at all. He has now served much more of a purpose than sensitive sally darvish.
