7/23 Cubs (T Wood) @ Arizona (Corbin) 8:40 CDT, WGN TV

[jersey cubs fan]

Wood is back on the mound after a long layoff. He's facing Corbin. Garza is gone and the newest guys are still in the minors. Soriano is still here, but Theo and Jed are supposedly in Phoenix trying to talk Soriano into leaving, ala Mr. Henderson trying to convince Harry to leave, or Arya getting rid of Nymeria.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Damn, I hope they don't try to throw rocks at him.

[jersey cubs fan]

I don't like that people keep editing my game threads.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Neither do I. It's not like anybody even reads the threads.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Junior Lake's aura caused that error.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 19-15 (.559) when they score in the first inning.... 25-38 (.397) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Andy]

Junior Lake's aura caused that error.

They actually gave him a hit, unless they changed it.

[Schwarber Fan]

Gillespie can play some outfield.

[PrimeTime]

Holy [expletive] Gillespie

[Ding Dong Johnson]

That's a damn fine grab.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 40-31 (.563) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 4-22 (.154) when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Looks like they've changed Lake's hit back to an error.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 24-23 (.511) when the opponent commits at least 1 error.... 20-30 (.400) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

.... and Navarro with the CUBS' second 1st hit of the game.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 12-5 (0.706) on Tue 23 July

Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like Barney is flying out a lot. What's the metric/stat to tell me this?

Good eye. Fangraphs has his FB% at 36.5 which is a stark increase from his prior years' numbers.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 12-11 (.522) when their pitcher gets a hit.... 32-42 (.432) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Illini Iceman]

Walk for Castro

[Schwarber Fan]

Unintentionally walking Castro on 4 pitches has to be among the toughest feats in baseball.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 43-47 (.478) when they draw 1 or more walks.... 1-6 (.143) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 34-17 (.667) when they score first in the game.... 10-36 (.217) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the opponents 60-22 in the third inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

He needs to get back to going the other way
