05/02 Cubs (Wood) vs Padres (Stults) 01:20 CT CSN

[Andy]

Ransom in the last week plus is 6 for 10 with 3 home runs and 2 doubles against LHP. For the curious, that's a 2.334 OPS. Getting him an extra PA against a LHP right now, even at Castro's expense, is probably a good idea while he's seeing the ball THAT well.

This is fine, I guess, but only if Dale's going to move Ransom back down pretty much immediately when he inevitably goes 0/8 for a two-game stretch in this lineup.

 

Did you read the quotes from Dale on the matter?

Yes, I did. I also make a general rule to not take everything anyone says in a quote as a stone-cold lock.

Our team isn't run by idiots anymore.

Wind blowing in from left should help Wood quite a bit.

 

I think he's easily the guy I have the least confidence in from our current rotation, though I don't think he gets the boot when Garza gets back because other guys have more question marks about their ability to go a full season.

Keith wants Wellington to bunt...

I don't hate a sac bunt here.

suck it Cabrera

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Just give up trying to accumulate baserunners, Cubs, it does you no good. Just hit solo homers like you're good at.

Thanks, Sori.

[Smack]

Wood has 4IP with under 50 pitches, that's refreshing. When's the last time we had two complete games in a row??

[Guest]

hey, hairston, stop popping up on pitches away

[GammonsPocketTweets]

We are seriously going to get shut down by this bum today. When do Hariston and Seppelt stop getting automatic starts against lefties?

Sappelt might be debatable, Hairston absolutely should be getting the starts.

Well, so much for the perfect game

[jersey cubs fan]

I had to take a work call and turn off the game audio.

 

 

Prior to that Keith and Pat were learning about Twitter and what an underscore is. Put the audio back on and Keith is talking about underscores.

[Smack]

5 IP, 54 pitches

Because they are the best option.

Hearing Keith try to talk about Twitter made me want to club a baby seal.

[Friendly Confines]

Ransom is really taking advantage of that bump in the lineup

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Hearing Keith talk makes me want to club a baby seal.

If we don't score this inning, I think we are getting shut out.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Wood is going to pitch 11 shutout innings today.
