Take away his 1st MLB inning and he looks even more spectacular. I'll go ahead and set the O/U at 7.5 Cy Youngs.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

He only gave up one line drive against the Mets?

Damn, this is the one I don't have tickets to. Nasty pitching match-ups this series.

Padres are definitely one of them. I'm guessing the other one is somebody you wouldn't expect...Pirates?

Pirates are actually 4th in the NL in runs scored behind Colorado, Milwaukee and Washington.

Here's a hint: Hell on Earth.

No, technically Boston has 2 more runs than the Cubs since they've scored 3 tonight.

The Brewers offense can't be that bad.

Meaning if the Cubs pass another 5 teams, they'd lose their pick if they signed a top flight FA this offseason (except for special cases, like Lester).

The team confirmed Turner is taking Jaxon's rotation spot, he'll be starting Wednesday.

Logan Watkins likes Renters more than Svuem.

Yeah, I heard on the radio yesterday that the Cards have a -2 run differential and whoever they're playing is like +98 or something and has the same or worse record.

 

Edit: I guess it's Seattle that has the same record with a +100 now and the Cards are -3.

I was talking with some cardinals fans about run differential last night and they weren't having any of it. But they also didnt know who kris bryant was so I cant wait until they find out.

[Careless]

They're not going to start this on time, are they? The storm front is about to enter Cook County.

[Careless]

trade him before he loses all his value!

[CubInOK]

Nevermind.

[Careless]

Rookie move.

[Gilby]

Marty Pevey is so full of [expletive]. I don't think Hendricks has even hit 92 mph the last couple starts.

[George Hayduke]

Cogs!

[squally1313]

Great AB from Hendricks, big hit from Coghlan. Put one on Waveland Javi.

[Guest]

Nice AB from Coghlan.
