Kalish shouldn't even be leading off for the Iowa Cubs, let alone the MLB Cubs.

I don't understand why people think Castro is so improved this year. He's still pretty shitty to me.

Because he's got a .746 OPS instead of .631.

He had the 8th highest OPS among SS coming into this game. We could use a lot more players who are above average for their position.

.283/.321/.425, better BB% (1% better) and K% (5% lower) from last year, sustainable (if not low for a guy with his profile) BABIP, already at .6 fWAR and LD% (3%) is up and GB% (5%) is down from last year

If you make a stop like that, the guy should just be automatically out.

I really do like Lake but man he is just out at sea right now

Oh look, the Cubs are behind.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The important philosophical question: Do we call this one sweep at the hands of the White Sox or two?

[Guest]

Sierra giving little league coaches everywhere an aneurysm with his play in the last 5 minutes.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

hooray

[Elwood]

That's a lot of hugs.

[SouthSideRyan]

YES it was one of the important guys too

[Guest]

Riz got all of that one.

“We need to start hitting,” Rizzo said. “It’s contagious. Four hits is not enough to win a game at the big league level.”

Anthony has a future at ESPN.

Olt got tied up by a 90 mph fastball, that's not good

His swing is so loooooong.

[Guest]

hahaha, Lake was so excited he laid off, 80% chance that was his first bases-loaded walk

[Elwood]

I think Lake just became self-aware.
