8/10 Cubs (Villanueva) @ Cardinals (Wacha) 6:15 CDT WGN

Did that HBP look intentional? I was surprised they didn't walk Castillo intentionally, and then they hit him anyway.

It looked like it could have been, it was up at his shoulder. Don't think Len said anything though.

[Fred Hornkohl]

yuck, Castro.

 

No, no, no..... it's STARLIN Castro !! :wink:

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-1 (.750) when they draw 7 or more walks.... 48-63 (.432) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Fastball caught him high on the shoulder. Not impossible, but I didn't get the vibe that it was intentional.

Last time the CUBS drew 8 BBs in a game.... Sat 15 Jun 2013 (9 BBs) in a 5-2 win at NY Mets

 

 

Go CUBS !!

This pitcher had no idea where the ball was going so saying it was intentional is giving him way too much credit.

[Fred Hornkohl]

This is only the 2nd time in their last 9 games (2-6) that the CUBS have scored 6 runs or more.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Good thing they got that insurance run earlier.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 5-18 (.217) when the opponent hits at least 2 HRs.... 46-46 (.500) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Andy]

After the 3 shots that Lynn stopped and the 1 identical one of STL's that got past Villanueva, we were due for one of those.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS WIN !! CUBS WIN !! CUBS WIN !!

I'm starting to believe, sample size be damned, that Junior Lake will be an everyday player for us next year. And a solid one, at that.

agreed, i'm happy for the cubs to do their part in sticking the cardinals into that wild card elimination game.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are now on a pace to finish 73-89.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Every day I hope that David Samson is noticing Lake and loves his tools and potential.
