Carlos Martínez (6-8, 3.36) vs. Jake Arrieta (9-7, 4.17) 1:20 p.m. FOX Sports Midwest
July 19, 2017 at 9:05 pm #28040We just HAVE to avoid a sweep in this series. If we get swept, we may as well try and improve the roster for next year.
July 21, 2017 at 9:51 am #28179Kris Bryant, who injured a finger the other day, is not in the Cubs lineup today.
Here is today's #Cubs lineup for the homestand opener against the #STLCards.

July 21, 2017 at 11:44 am #28210#STLCards vs. Chicago (7/21):
Carpenter 1B
Pham LF
Fowler CF
Gyorko 3B
Molina C
DeJong SS
Wong 2B
Grichuk RF
Martinez P— St. Louis Cardinals (@Cardinals) July 21, 2017
July 21, 2017 at 11:57 am #28214Using the same starters, I think I would rather see the lineup as:
Carpenter
Fowler
Pham
Gyorko
Wong
Molina
DeJong
Grichuk
MartinezJuly 21, 2017 at 12:42 pm #28227Since Fowler’s return from the DL (10 games), he is OPSing 588. Not a good look for the #3….or #2 for that matter. He needs to get it going again.
July 21, 2017 at 1:34 pm #28246Molina has a sore ankle. Better not be serious or that DFA of Fryer will look really dumb.
A late change in today's lineup: Carson Kelly is starting behind the plate. #STLCards pic.twitter.com/UYbboOMTF7

Participantwhy?
July 21, 2017 at 1:58 pm #28253LOL, beer-bellied cubs fan made a really nice catch leaning over the railing on the Grichuk HR. Cards close the gap to 2-1.
July 21, 2017 at 2:00 pm #28254Carlos has really struggled lately…not sure if it’s focus or his weird hair or what. 5 hits already and not through the 2nd. Gonna be another tax on the bullpen if he doesn’t get it together.
July 21, 2017 at 2:05 pm #28255Martinez doesn’t look good at all so far today or even lately at all, maybe he should worry more about pitching and less about acting like other hitters.
July 21, 2017 at 2:41 pm #28256Dejong didn’t help Carlos with that whiff on the grounder. Heyward followed with a liner to put 2 runners on with none out. Blech.
July 21, 2017 at 3:52 pm #28259NJ315
ParticipantDeJong with an RBI double! 5-3 Cards
July 21, 2017 at 3:53 pm #28260Heck of an 8th inning for the Cards so far…still bases loaded with no one out.
July 21, 2017 at 3:55 pm #28261NJ315
Participant6-3 now. Bases stil l loaded no outs
July 21, 2017 at 4:03 pm #28262Up to 9 to 3 with bases loaded and still nobody out…
July 21, 2017 at 4:04 pm #28263This is one of the greatest innings of the year.
July 21, 2017 at 4:15 pm #28264Nice to see our guys give the other team’s pen a few lumps.
July 21, 2017 at 4:17 pm #2826511-3 heading to the bottom of the 8th.
Now, this is about the only time i would ever feel comfortable with Rosenthal in the game. I’m not watching, but i assume Matheny has put him out on the mound?
July 21, 2017 at 4:37 pm #28266Oh continues to struggle. Thankfully there is a big cushion but he’s not going to be worth anything in a trade at this point.
July 21, 2017 at 4:53 pm #28267The 8th inning was really entertaining today – if you like walks…I think our first six runs of the inning came on three hits…Nice to see the OBP machine come together!!!
July 21, 2017 at 4:56 pm #28268Good to get the win, for sure. Now let’s get two more and get out of town. 🙂
July 21, 2017 at 7:26 pm #28272Good to see some “O” today. Hope they retain muscle memory tomorrow from hitting the ball today. Cubs definitely beatable this year, and this series.
July 21, 2017 at 8:37 pm #28280Per @ESPNStatsInfo: Our 9-run 8th inning was our most runs scored in an inning since Aug. 30, 2014… also against the Cubs! pic.twitter.com/Nd15GdTIMN
