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

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS held the opponents to 3 hits in a game.... Wed 22 May 2013 (3 hits) in a 1-0 loss at Pittsburgh

 

 

Go CUBS !!

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

 

Throwing?

[Guest]

Cubs pitchers are hitting .306/.306*/.673 this month.

 

*ESPN doesn't have sacrifices or PA under monthly splits so this is actually lower when you include sacrifices.

That's a medium-sized thing for a catcher.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 18-12 (.600) when they get a quality start.... 3-18 (.143) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Cool, so .306/.272/.673 then.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 15-5 (.750) when they lead at the end of the 6th inning.... 5-25 (.167) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[sneakypower]

only sacrifice flies are factored in OBP, the bunts don't matter

 

should be .300/.300/.660 after that last AB by Wood

 

i think we found the new market inefficiency

[apete6]

Officially time to switch Valbuena and Castro in the order. You can't have a guy with that low of an OBP batting high in the order.

[illiniguy]

Castro is worse now than he was when he first got to the big leagues.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Wow, Soriano with an awesome play.

[Guest]

Okay I'm officially worried and irritated that Sveum doesn't understand that Russell is good against RHP.

 

Excited to see Putnam though. Hope he gets the 8th too if he gets this guy.

[Fred Hornkohl]

That last replay looked like De Aza got his hand on the base before Barney tagged him...... but it's all academic now.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[THISisTHEyear09]

Castro is worse now than he was when he first got to the big leagues.

 

It seems to me that he hasn't been the same consistent guy since Jaramillo left.

Didn't he just face a couple and let 2 straight guys get on?

[apete6]

Newsworthy: Soriano walked.

Flowers grounded out and Greene walked, De Aza is left handed.

 

Righties are hitting .214/.290/.250 against him this year.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Any reason that Wood was lifted when he was? 6 IP, 88 pitches, 7-2 lead. Responsible for 4 of those runs. Doesn't strike me as a logical point to pull him.

Take what you can out of the guy. No reason to push him.

CUBS are 16-3 (.842) when they lead at the end of the 7th inning.... 4-27 (.129) when they don't

Like I said, he let him face a couple there and let 2 straight guys get on. Seems like an odd time to point out that he doesn't understand he is good against RHP. Up 5 he probably wanted to see the new guy and didn't feel like extending Russell. The bullpen is relatively fresh after a Shark complete game, rainout and a laugher. Plus they have 2 scheduled off days next week. Time to get some guys the work.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 14-2 (.875) when they allow fewer than 3 runs.... 7-28 (.200) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
