[kujay]

Aside from all the walks, is O'Malley looking good, or are the 'Stros sleepwalking?

Anyone have Nevin's numbers with the Cubs? It seems like all he ever does is make outs (aside from the game the other day when he drove in all three runs).

He actually has an OBP of about .320, but he's in a major slump at the moment.

Thanks guys.

Ensberg walked

Lane flied out to deep left center field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Everett singled to left field , Ensberg to second

[CubColtPacer]

This is a strange stat. From my counting, in the 3 game winning streak and this game, we have allowed 23 more walks then we have took. You can't keep winning for too long with that big of a disparity.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ausmus grounded into a FC, 6-4, Everett out at second, Ensberg to third

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

O'Malley has come in a been a savior going 6 innings so far.

Go CUBS !!

[Andy]

That's probably it for the kid (although you can't rule anything out with Dusty) - what a great outing.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pagan flied out to center field

Blasphemer! Neifi is our savior.

[dew1679666265]

That's probably it for the kid (although you can't rule anything out with Dusty) - what a great outing.

 

Wonder if he's earned himself another start?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murton flied out to right field

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

That's probably it for the kid (although you can't rule anything out with Dusty) - what a great outing.

 

I think he might try and stretch him one more inning. Baker will see O'Malley has thrown 87 pitches and see if he can get one more inning putting him at around 100 pitches. Just a hunch.

[UMFan83]

So who do you think is good for the pen?

 

I think Wuertz only threw 12 pitches last night

I know Howry only threw 5

 

Dempster is definitely out.

Guzman is likely out

 

Novoa, Ohman, and Rich Hill are possibilities. Gotta fill at least 3 innings here.
