7/1 Astros (Rodriguez) @ Cubs (Wood) 1:20 pm CDT, CSN

[Fred Hornkohl]

This game is flying by.

 

.... well, they're not wasting time with a lot of time with walks and hits and stuff like that, eh?

 

 

edit: not to mention T Wood throwing only 12.0 P/IP !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 13-4 (.765) when they hold the opponent scoreless through the 1st 5 innings..... 14-45 (.250) when they don't.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Love me some Travis Wood. I'm just going to stick my fingers in my ears and go "LA LA LA" if anyone tries to point out his peripherals.

Travis Wood has instincts.

 

Don't they have a vaccine for that now ???

Good Job of base running there by Wood. Hopefully Starlin can drive him in here.

Good to see Starlin walk, intentional or not. RIZZO!!!!!!!!!

The Astros seem extremely willing to put Castro on base and let a LHP face Rizzo even though he hit a HR off of one yesterday.

[UMFan83]

Looks like Rizzo will appeal to the meatballs too with his clutch hitting prowless

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Rizzo and Wood are the jewels of Hoystein's first offseason.

It was on the first pitch, so it doesn't count?

holy [expletive], jeff baker sighting

[haubrich91]

This is fun.

Definitely.

They are going to have to hurry up and gut this team if they don't want to fall behind in the No. 1 draft pick race.

The top of our order is so dangerous its futile to choose which to pitch to. And we are so great that we have another All-Star just chilling on our bench.

[UMFan83]

Or maybe just play another team not based in Houston or San Diego.

 

 

BTW, if the Cubs win this game, they will head into the All Star Break only 1 game below .500 at home this year (19-20)
