For some reason Dejesus is in left and Lake is in center tonight.

 

I'm kinda intrigued by this.

I'm kinda intrigued by this.

 

According to Sveum on the pregame radio show, it's because we're not facing any lefties anytime soon.

CUBS are 48-39 (.552) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 4-26 (.133) when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[sneakypower]

Castillo did a good job receiving that strike 3 to Votto, where earlier in the season he would have swatted at it like an idiot; i'm starting to warm up to him more

[Fred Hornkohl]

Umpires tonight..........

 

HP: Adrian Johnson

1b: Brian Onora

2b: Fieldin Culbreth (cc)

3b: Bill Welke
