GDT 7/7/15-Game 1-Cards (Lyons) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 12:20 CDT

[BW23]

This game was punted when the lineup was written.

Agreed. Holliday is with the team, and he should have started. Yadi should be starting both games, even with last night's late finish, so that he could help both of the young, inexperienced pitchers. Marp hasn't been hitting at all since the end of May, but he has to play every inning if he's going to break out of his funk. And they should have traded for Hamels so that we wouldn't have to see Lyons.

Maddon is pissed about that earlier pitch being called a ball

Arrieta's trash.

(BTW, 31 pitches in the 7th)

I had counted this game in the L column before it even started, but now that it's close, let's win this thing!
