5/30 White Sox (Peavy) at Cubs (Wood) 1:20pm WGN

[neely crenshaw]

The announcers are doing a masterful job of explaining Wood's luck this season without flat-out saying "he's a mediocre pitcher getting insanely lucky."

 

Same guys that continue to tell us that John Danks is really good....

[Cubswin11]

Just going by PitcFX, it seems like Castro is getting a ton of cutters thrown at him recently.

Any specific locations they are throwing them on him? Low/high, inside/outside?

[Smack]

I'm gonna need to find Hawk's call on that one

 

No Hawk, just Stone.

 

Did anyone hear what Stone had to say?

What?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Cubs with 15 runs over the past game and a half. 10 are courtesy of Dioner Navarro and Travis Wood

[neely crenshaw]

Did you he the shot Farmer put on Castro yesterday? Something about being impossible to walk him. Funny coming from a team that has a shortstop that walked 16 times the entire year last season, has exactly 1 more walk than Castro this year.

[UMFan83]

Cubs with 15 runs over the past game and a half. 10 are courtesy of Dioner Navarro and Travis Wood

 

And 22 runs over the last 2.5 games

 

I might actually be excited about this team...would be more excited if we didnt have such a big hole to dig out of. Even with the 6 game losing streak taken into account the Cubs are 9-8 in their last 17 games if we can finish this one today.

the announcers for the sox(tv and radio) always spout about how good Danks is despite not pitching well in 2+ seasons

Pretty sure Kyle was talking about Len and JD and he wasn't being derisive or sour about it.

[neely crenshaw]

by the way an unbelievably nasty rain is on the way, it's been like a tsunami here in western Illinois for the last 30 minutes

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 9-7 (.563) when they hit at least 2 HRs.... 12-23 (.343) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[GammonsPocketTweets]

As a hitter, you have to salivate facing Nate Jones and that straight as a line fastball, seriously, he's terrible.

That doesn't mean he's wrong. It is currently almost impossible to walk Castro.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-2 (.750) when they score 7 runs or more.... 15-28 (.349) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Long drive, well hit left field. It's a grand slam (very dejectedly).

The only thing better than beating the Sox is kicking their [expletive] teeth in. Loving this series.

[Tracer Bullet]

Can we start with the pitcher's spot and go backwards through the order?

I've got Stoney!?

 

Switched to WGN now...although it was fun watching them struggle with the butt whipping! If Hawk was there I'd have to keep listening!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

There's no "little thing" that Castillo isn't bad at.

[Guest]

Looks like Castillo needs sliding practice also.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Cubs have an above-average offense.
