<p>Another day, another early blowout.</p> <p>When the highlight of the game is <span>Brian Schlitter</span> getting a hit in his first-ever major league plate appearance, you know there are probably better ways to spend your afternoon.</p>

<p><b>THE THREE HEROES:</b></p>
<ul>
<li> <b>Superhero - </b><span>Anthony Rizzo</span> (.006). In what could be the weakest Superhero award of the season, he wins it <i>by getting beaned </i>(OK, beaned in the knee.) </li>
<li> <b>Hero -</b> Brian Schlitter (.001). Fun fact: He is currently the 62nd player in history to have a hit in one career plate appearance.</li>
<li> <b>Sidekick</b> - Brian Schlitter (.000). With four players tied at zero (Schlitter, <span>Justin Grimm</span>, <span>James Russell</span>, <span>Justin Ruggiano</span>), I'm invoking executive power to break it based on two innings of work and no runs allowed. The fourth decimal place is probably in his favor.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>THE THREE GOATS:</b></p>
<ul>
<li> <b>Big Goat - </b><span>Jeff Samardzija</span> (-.347). Apparently he was just in a hurry to get the road trip over with.</li>
<li> <b>Goat - </b><span>Emilio Bonifacio</span> (-.031). Days like this, it doesn't pay to lead off.</li>
<li> <b>Kid</b> - <span>Starlin Castro</span> (-.027). I know he wants to play every game, but someone really needs to talk him out of it.</li>

Brewers 9, Cubs 0: The Mirror-Image Series
<figure>

<p>There were 33 runs scored in the weekend series between the Cubs and Brewers. Unfortunately, the Cubs only scored 13 of those runs.</p> <p>I had another commitment for late this afternoon (thus the delay in today's recap), and so knew I was going to have to miss the last couple of innings of today's game.</p>
<p>When <span>Ryan Braun</span> homered off <span>Jeff Samardzija</span> in the first inning, I thought, "Hmmm. Didn't I see this game Friday night?"</p>
<p>It was all <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.brewcrewball.com/">Brewers</a> Sunday afternoon and they wound up <a href="http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/boxscore.jsp?gid=2014_06_01_chnmlb_milmlb_1" target="_blank">crushing the Cubs 9-0</a>, a near mirror-image of the pounding the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/">Cubs</a> put on Milwaukee Saturday afternoon. All three games were blowouts -- Milwaukee by six Friday, the Cubs by eight Saturday, the Brew Crew by nine Sunday. Let's see... carry the five... that means the Cubs' run differential took a -7 hit over the weekend and now stands at -18, second-worst in the N.L. Central (the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bucsdugout.com/">Pirates</a>, four and a half games ahead of the Cubs pending their night game against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.truebluela.com/">Dodgers</a>, are -34).</p>
<p>Apparently Anthony Rizzo had enough of this game after the fourth inning, because he was tossed for arguing after he was called out on strikes. Can't blame him, actually -- the Cubs looked like their minds were elsewhere? Could they have been? Well....</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">
<p>Several Cubs hoping for a quick win today in Mil so they make Game 7. (Me too). Before you freak out they said W is most important</p>

<script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</p>
<p>I dunno. Could some of the Cubs been in a hurry to get to the United Center? Even if they were mostly joking about that, this game ran two hours and 18 minutes, the fastest game of the year (the Cubs have had just one other game this year run less than 2:30, <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ATL/ATL201405100.shtml" target="_blank">this 2-0 loss to the Braves in Atlanta</a> back on May 10.</p>
<p>Jeff Samardzija, who is well-known as a huge <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.secondcityhockey.com/">Blackhawks</a> fan, seemed in a hurry to be yanked, too. He got hit early and hard and had his worst outing of the year and shortest outing of his career, the first time as a starter he has failed to get into the fourth inning. His ERA, which began the day leading the major leagues at 1.68, soared to 2.54... which is still good, but man, that was a bad start.</p>
<p>Manager Rick Renteria pretty much tossed in the towel after Rizzo was ejected; he had to move <span>Mike Olt</span> from third base to first, shift <span>Emilio Bonifacio</span> to third base, move <span>Junior Lake</span> from left field to center and put <span>Chris Coghlan</span> in the game. He also gave <span>Welington Castillo</span> the rest of the day off, probably a good idea on a hot day. With Luis Valbuena not available due to a minor abdominal problem, that left no bench at all, meaning <span>Brian Schlitter</span> had to bat for himself. (Maybe <i>now</i> can we have another bench player? Please?)</p>
<p>Naturally, Schlitter got a hit, the first of his big-league career -- in his first major-league at-bat, which will get him a line in the record books, and a 1.000 career batting average, at least for now. It was one of only three singles (the others by Lake and <span>Nate Schierholtz</span>) that the Cubs got off <span>Kyle Lohse</span>, who threw just 93 pitches in completing his first shutout of the season.</p>
<p>So the Cubs finish this long trip at 4-6, which, considering everything, isn't too bad, though once again, they failed to win a road series. That makes 14 consecutive road series that the Cubs have either split or lost.</p>
<p>The Cubs have also completed exactly one-third of the season at 20-34, which is a pace for 102 losses. It's gonna happen, as the saying goes, and just wait until Samardzija and <span>Jason Hammel</span> are traded. Also, for those of you who think the schedule's getting easier, consider this: against the top two teams in the N.L. Central, the Brewers and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.vivaelbirdos.com/">Cardinals</a>, who also have the second- and fourth-best records in the National League, the Cubs are 8-10. They are 12-24 against everyone else, and that's who the Cubs will be facing for the next month. The Cubs are off Monday -- and we'll have plenty here, including some draft preview info, tomorrow. Tuesday it'll be <span>Jake Arrieta</span> against <span>Zack Wheeler</span>, as the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.amazinavenue.com/">Mets</a> come to Wrigley to open a six-game homestand.</p>
<p>Cheer you up? I didn't think so. How about this: Let's go Blackhawks!</p>

<p>The Cubs haven't won a road series since last September. Is now the time that streak ends?</p> <p>The Cubs have certainly not been road warriors recently. Since August 1, 2013 they are 19-37 on the road (10-20 of that, this year). They have not won a road series since September 9-10-11, 2013, when they took two of three from the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.redreporter.com/">Reds</a> at Cincinnati.</p>
<p>Three times this year -- at St. Louis (twice) and at San Francisco -- the Cubs have split the first two games of a road series, only to fail to win the third game.</p>
<p>That's where the Cubs sit right now, having split the first two games of this set. A win would give them a 5-5 road trip. The last time the Cubs had a .500 road trip was August 6-11, 2013, when they split six games at Philadelphia and St. Louis. The last time the Cubs did 5-5 or better on a 10-game trip was July 19-28, 2013, when they went 6-4 on a trip to Colorado, Arizona and San Francisco. (That included a three-game sweep of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.mccoveychronicles.com/">Giants</a>.)</p>
<p>So it's time, wouldn't you say?</p>
<p><a href="https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Cubs</a> lineup:</p>

<p>This is the third day in a row we'll have a rematch of a previous pitching matchup from this year. The first two were Miller Park rematches; today's happened <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN201405160.shtml" target="_blank">in Wrigley Field May 16</a>, when Lohse and the Brewers defeated the Cubs 4-3. It was Shark's shortest start of the year as he threw just five innings; Lohse gave the Cubs three runs in seven innings. Since then both pitchers have had one really good start and one "meh" one; Shark's ERA is slightly ahead of <span>Johnny Cueto</span> for the major-league lead (1.680 to 1.681).</p>
<p>After two blowouts in this series, one for each team, I'd expect a low-scoring, close game this afternoon.</p>
<p>Today's game is on WGN.</p>

<p>For 2014, we are going to have the same game-thread routine as 2013. Here's how it works.</p>
<p>You'll find the game preview -- like this one -- posting as the first link in the StoryStream™, which will then contain all the overflow threads and the recap. The recap will also be on the front page as a separate post; once I post a game recap, the stream for each game will be retitled "Cubs vs. (Team) (Day of Week) Game Threads" so you can go back and find every thread related to that particular game.</p>
<p>In general, game previews will post two hours before game time. Exception: for day games after night games, that will usually be 90 minutes.</p>
<p>You will also be able to find the First Pitch Thread and all the overflow threads in the box marked "<a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/">Chicago Cubs</a> Game Threads" at the bottom of the front page (<a href="http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/game-threads">you can also find them in this section link</a>). They will also appear in this StoryStream™. As I've done for each regular-season game for several years now, we'll have the First Pitch thread at five minutes before game time (moved up from actual game time per your requests), then an overflow one hour, two hours and 2:45 after game time.</p>
<p>Discuss amongst yourselves.</p>
