Carter Lopez
good start for Jake, but pitching count is too high for a 1-2-3 inning
also, though miggy would fuck that dropped 3rd up
Dominic Perez

Christian Green
That was fast.
Austin Myers

Andrew Parker
>pirates announcers
Brayden Rivera

Luke Hughes
>emotional talk about Almora's dad's cancer treatment >Montero's very upbeat Venezuelan music in the background
Jayden Gonzalez
>jake giving up a hit What a faggot
Daniel Butler
Jake is filthy today
if only he could be more efficient with pitch count, he'd have a chance for 20 Ks one day
Dominic Martinez
>being so assblasted about facing Arrieta that you try and hit Rizzo in the head
Nice team you got there shitsburgh

Justin Cruz
Damn, that count work by Russell.
Andrew Bennett

Cubs aren't moving anyone period. If they trade anyone on the roster/DL it will be Soler
