Don't be surprised [emoji3]. I tried to save you last time but it was too late.

Can't wait for tonight.

But are you going to book it or take it to the bank?

Naquin, Lonnie, and Coco back in the lineup tonight with the righty going?

Perhaps we shouldn't play the game tonight? Bouncing around the national radio today...overwhelming consensus is Cubs tonight because Arrieta (but don't sleep on Tomlin...they say) and then a coin flip tomorrow with half taking the Cubs and have taking the Tribe.

I expect to lose both. Should have pitched Salazar over shitty bauer.

Cubs mixing things up.

Babe Ruth will bat second...pushing Bryant to 3, Rizzo to 4 and Zobrist to 5.

2-5 in their lineup is not a fun stretch.

Be careful with Bryant and walk Zobrist....no one patient after him, though Heyward is looking better

I think that was the Cubs idea with moving Schwarber up so he had to see pitches to hit because we could pitch around him in the 5 hole with nobody to protect him.

The key, as always, will be to keep Fowler off base in front of those guys. None of them are quite as scary without anybody on.

Honestly I'd go the other way and pitch around schwarber and go at Bryant with curveball after curveball.

It's not the curveball, it's the location.

I'm a little surprised Naquin is in there instead of Rajai. I like Rajai's speed and defense more than Naquin. But I won't question El Jefe, he's probably keeping him as a pinch runner/ defense replacement later in the game.
