time to put the division away...

Monday May 6: Marlins, 7:05, NBCSCH+
Sandy Alcantara, RHP (1-3, 4.86 ERA, 1.560 WHIP, 4.32 FIP) vs. Cole Hamels, LHP (3-0, 3.19 ERA, 1.091 WHIP, 3.61 FIP)

Tuesday May 7: Marlins, 7:05, NBCSCH+
Caleb Smith, LHP (3-0, 2.00 ERA, 0.833 WHIP, 2.81 FIP) vs. Jon Lester, LHP (2-1, 1.73 ERA, 0.962 WHIP, 3.38 FIP)

Wednesday May 8: Marlins, 7:05, WGN
Jose Urena, RHP (1-5, 5.45 ERA, 1.538 WHIP, 4.95 FIP) vs. Kyle Hendricks, RHP (2-4, 3.93 ERA, 1.427 WHIP, 3.41 FIP)

Thursday May 9: Marlins, 1:20, NBCSCH
Trevor Richards, RHP (0-4, 4.10 ERA, 1.313 WHIP, 4.98 FIP) vs. Yu Darvish, RHP (2-3, 5.79 ERA, 1.714 WHIP, 6.82 FIP)

1. Ben Zobrist, RF
2. Kris Bryant, 3B
3. Anthony Rizzo, 1B
4. Javy Baez, SS
5. Willson Contreras, C
6. Jason Heyward, CF
7. David Bote, 2B
8. Kyle Schwarber, LF
9. Cole Hamels, P

So, they're grooming Addison Russell to return as a second baseman. That works for me.

Huge trap series. Coming off the Cardinals sweep, and sweeping the Marlins a few weeks ago. 3 out of 4 is a must to avoid the let down. For some reason Edwards has been brought back up to the roster, hopefully last chance time.

Fuck Edwards and Zobrist

Why in the hell is Edwards back.

Hopefully this is final scene time with Carl. I have no doubt Joe with throw him into a close game asap.

Montgomery is about ready to come back, somebody has to be sent down.. dunno why CJ is up, heard he wasn't doing great at AAA.

_________________

I think he walked 2 out of 30 batters and gave up 2 runs over the entire time. He wasn't bad but everyone knows how this is going to go when he is back. Joe is going to put him in to start the 7th in a 1 run game and he is going to melt down. Did they even fix his illegal delivery yet?

Alright..that's better than I thought. His command was bad but his confidence was equally poor.

This definitely has the feeling of a trap game. Big first inning, squander some chances and then Carls Jr can come in and blow the 1 run lead to hell with a few walks and a jack.

why does this feel like a L coming.

Hamels is barely hanging on.

Ok Bote

Sucks to lose the 7 game win streak vs the worst team in baseball.

Sweep the Cardinals and probably lose a game you were winning 3-0 at one point to the worst team in MLB.

what a shitty result. nobody can throw a fucking strike in the 9th.

i'm predicting 5 runs here for the Marlins

Atrocious. No relief pitcher should be allowed to walk 3 batters.
