Only 13 games out of the wild card race. Just sayin'. :P

[El Duderino]

Rizzo already has 0.9 bWAR

[Guest]

For the first time since May 15, the Cubs aren't in last place. May 15 was also the day the Cubs lost the first of 12 straight games. Hopefully that doesn't happen again.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Castro, ss

Rizzo, 1b

Soriano, lf

LaHair, rf

Clevenger, c

Barney, 2b

Is Soto officially becoming a platoon player?

12 game winning streak this time around imo. :good:

[Sosa21MVP]

WGN's audio sounds like hot crap.

[InconspicuousZ28]

WGN's audio sounds like hot crap.

 

Glad its not an issue with the reception on my end here, was beginning to wonder.

[Sosa21MVP]

Not a big fan of running with Rizzo at the plate. He was totally going to hit a 2 run bomb there.

[El Duderino]

Castro now has a 61% success rate at stealing this year. um

[JockJones]

The audio is fixed. Thank God.

[Sosa21MVP]

The audio is fixed. Thank God.

 

:yahoo:

[Irrelevant Dude]

Is Soto officially becoming a platoon player?

Has he done anything to indicate otherwise? I imagine he will be a serious non-tender candidate in the offseason.

no doubt. Castillo will probably be ready and clevenger is pretty decent backup

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Samardzija's splitter is my favorite pitch right now. Filthy. Works as an unhittable changeup.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 11-12 (.478) when they score in the first inning.... 21-39 (.350) when they don't

CUBS are 30-31 (.492) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 2-20 (.091) when they do

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[d_money]

Nice lipper LaHair

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 22-13 (.629) when they score first in the game.... 10-38 (.208) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 12-35 (.255) when the opponent hits at least 1 HR.... 20-16 (.556) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sosa21MVP]

Tis but a flesh wound.

[CincyCubsFan]

The [expletive]??? He looked safe by a good step and a half.
