Lou is certainly making me scratch my head today; using Miles instead of Hoffpauir was just dumb.

 

I bet it was because Miles was 2-3 lifetime against Hawkins.

[PackLandVA]

Ground ball please.

[Butterscup1679666578]

very nice.

[UMFan83]

Beautiful

[Tryptamine]

Nice dp, why was Lee swinging at that pitch.

[ChiCubsFan]

Ground ball please.

[sweetpeteman]

Excellent

[PackLandVA]

DANKA!!

[cubs121]

DP!

[bcl412]

Heilman is the Carlos Lee equalizer.

[Outshined_One]

Nice dp, why was Lee swinging at that pitch.

 

He was channeling the other team's Lee.

[witty alias]

Did Heilman just hit 97?

[anabiono]

why in the hell is miles in for theriot?

 

theriot injured too?

 

what, pride?

Yep.

Nope, its called double switch. Miles PH last inning, Theriot is the second to last batter to hit in the order last inning.

Well Len just mentioned that we started the year for the first time in 23 years without anyone on the DL so of course Soto and Theriot have to go out and get hurt after he says it.

still doesn't make sense. What you give up in ability isn't worth the two spots in the line up you gain, imo.

[ChiCubsFan]

Did Heilman just hit 97?

 

Yep.

 

I'm a little skeptical of the gun. Hawkins was also hitting 97. I don't remember either of them throwing that fast in recent years.

[haubrich91]

Nice. Score!

[Shilzzz]

Heilmann looks pretty good, huh.

[PrimeTime]

Man it feels good not to have Howry on the team. Lou wouldve put him in this inning

[NotSoSober]

Was it just me or was Miles trying to spoon with Fonetnot during that? Why get so close to someone trying to catch a routine pop up?

[CubmanPi]

Let's get some freaking runs !!!

[cubbinalltheway]

so what happened to soto? i missed a couple innings.

[cubs121]

Let's get some freaking runs !!!
