Taking three out of four would be cool

Seems like there's a halfway decent chance it'll be raining for at least a while in Pitt today.

Cubs pitching leads the majors with a 2.77 FIP.

 

Second place? The Pirates at 2.84.

More fun with pitching stats:

 

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal

Top five rotations, K-to-BB ratio: NYM, LAD, CHC, NYY, STL. Bottom five: COL, ATL, TOR, MIA, TEX. #Mets 74 Ks, 11 BB. #Rockies 46Ks, 35 BBs.

 

As far as entire pitching staffs go, Cubs remain third at an even 4.00 K/BB. The Pirates are again right after them at #4 with a 3.76 K/BB

[ctcf]

One more:

 

Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales

From Cubs' notes: Cubs' batters are averaging 3.94 pitches per plate appearance, most in NL. Cubs play next 20 games vs. NL Central.

Radar looks pretty spotty though. Doesn't seem like it would be a particularly long lasting storm.

not sure what tunnelbear is (guessing it's another VPN service)...i use unlocator. you can set them up directly on your ps4. or you can configure your router and then not worry about what devices you're using.
