Fred, what's the Cubs' record in games in which the pitcher (Big Z or not) homers since, say, 2003?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the opponents 71-43 in the 7th inning

It always does.

[Schwarber Fan]

So now, Ward AND Edmonds are gonna be used instead of saving Ward for later

 

Godammit Lou, sometimes I just don't get it.

Nope, Ward is also going to be a defensive replacement hahahaha

[BCVM22]

Ward in LF, Kosuke to CF, DeRosa to RF, Edmonds still available on the bench.
