Rizzo

Greinke been getting roughed up this year, makes me kinda glad we didn't go all in on him.

Greinke overrated.

Jake Arrieta bomb

 

[CP1708]

Crazy to see Jake giving up runs. 3 so far.

 

[CP1708]

Soler!!!!!!! 3 years in a row!!!!

 

[CP1708]

5-1

Should be 6-0 but oh well.

Also, Montero with two more drives to the wall that didn't go out.

Need a great start at home from Lester tomorrow.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Good to see Neil Ramirez
Looked sharp out there and made quick work of the 9th.

 

[sportsjunkie]

SOLER POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sportsjunkie]

Thank you man.

And I opened this to get away from the Central thread and focus on what Theo was doing. I took a lot of heat in 2011-12 tellin people he was building us right, I wanted this to be a way to track our progress as we turned the corner.

I think it's working.


Ha, this is my 50K on the nose.


.

I remember the thread first started. we followed Theo entire rebuild. we see growth right in front of our eyes.

 

[arstyle27]

Hopefully weather isnt too crappy tomorrow. Sucks i gotta work.

 

[CP1708]

Through 14 innings pitched, Cubs relievers have allowed just 2 earned runs, walked just 1, and struck out 16. Those are bananas numbers.

Cubs have traded for lefty P Giovanni Soto from Clev for cash considerations. Kyle Schwarber placed on 60-day DL to make room on 40 man

 

[CP1708]

Home Opener Lineup

Fowler CF
Heyward RF
Bryant 3B
Rizzo 1B
Zobrist 2B
Soler LF
Russell SS
Ross C
Lester P



Javier Baez is down in Triple A getting started, couple good games, they should bring him up to help deepen the bench by mid next week or so. Not to mention he could be the new age Zobrist playin 7 different positions give or take.

What the ****?

Theo rattles off features in new #Cubs clubhouse: hyperbaric chamber, cryotherapy, float tank, underwater treadmill, infrared/steam saunas.

Yeah WGN did a report about the new clubhouse and all its new amenities. Makes you realize how bad the old clubhouse was. We finally stepping into the 21st century.

 

[CP1708]

Heyward with his first clutch hit, but Bryant needed to follow with his own and couldn't do it.

 

[CP1708]

Russssseeeeeellllllllllllllll

 

[illmatic34]

What a game

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

This offense

 

[arstyle27]

Missed the game due to work, but caught all the highlites. Amazing stuff. Grandpa Ross getting it started, Heyward with a clutch 2 out knock, and Addy Russell with a gw 3 run tater. Rondon went 1, 2, 3 and Cubbies win. Ch ch ch cheeea!

 

[sportsjunkie]

Heyward 2 Run RBI was a clutch moment yesterday. Sorry for late response fellas.

 

[sportsjunkie]

Fellas, take advantage of the free trail with yuor cable company. I wish the Cubs played tonight.

They turned the old locker room into batting cages.
They even added a new "party room" for the players to celebrate lol.

 

[CP1708]

Through 17 innings pitched, the bullpen has allowed just 2 earned runs and 1 walk. In the meantime, they’ve struck out 20 batters and have allowed just a .121 batting average against.

Tonight's Lineup:
Fowler
Heyward
Zobrist
Rizzo
Bryant
Montero
Soler
Russell
Lackey

Loaded the top with Lefty's, the Reds pitcher has struggled vs Lefty's the past few years, so they need to pounce on him early and get into their pen.

 

[sportsjunkie]

Joe Maddon strategy worked. Simon only lasted 1 winning. we batted around on him.stick a folk in The Reds tonight. they done
