Since homering on three straight days, Olt is 5-for-37 with 14 Ks.

Cubs have had some great at-bats so far this game.

[UMFan83]

Man Rizzo and Castro are at .260 and .277 respectively? A week ago they were at like 290 and 310.

Enjoying this game in San Diego with a fine Stone Brewery Ruination IPA.

 

Even though I'm too old to be a hipster.

only a hipster would say he's too old to be a hipster.

Too conservative (socially, not politically) to be a hipster.

So...what kind of contract would people be willing to give to Hammel?

Maybe it's a tad concerning with Castro, but Rizzo's OBP is still like 400, and he has a ridiculously low strikeout rate for someone with his walk rate.

[Guest]

Maybin out for the third time at first.*

 

* No access to rreplays.

Definitely safe the first time, not sure the second, definitely out the third.

 

 

Also, Smith scared me with that motion to try and rob the HR.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

For a guy who sucks at baseball, he sure has done a lot of good things.

I have the sound off so I thought Smith was trolling and was going to pop the ball out of his glove. Didn't help that Lake had no idea if it was caught or not.

[Guest]

Ha, Smith faked out Kennedy.

[Guest]

Since the start of 2013, 110 outfielders have received 400 PA. Lake is roughly 27th in wOBA of those 110.

Castro has been crushing the ball into terrible luck. Not concerning.
