5/4 Cubs (Wood) @ Cardinals (Martinez) 7:10PM ESPN/CSN

[Schwarber Fan]

Was Denorfia's original injury the hammy?

[Rex Buckingham]

His own team doesn't care about ARod passing Willie Mays, why is ESPN shoving it down our throats? Show a freaking replay if he hits one

Yep

[seanimal]

travis wood with like half the pitches and only 2/3 the runs allowed as that other guy

[DiamondMind]

fwiw I hope arod hits 50 home runs this years and screws the yankees. but that doesnt mean I want my game interrupted.

[Ski]

While everything seems to be relatively tame:

 

Quick, everyone envision the worst possible thing the Cardinals could do so it isn't as dejecting when it inevitably happens.

mark reynolds is exhibit A for cardinals pixie dust

 

He's batting .194

[CyHawk_Cub]

Cards w/ about 900 feet of batted ball distance that inning for their 3 outs.

RT @MDGonzales: scoring change - Error on Carpenter in second changed to single for Bryant.

If he starts hitting .280, maybe.

Good. That was bothering me more than it should have.

[Guest]

Even though they've only added the Rizzo HR, this is a nice contrast of the benefit of working counts. The 4th is almost assuredly Martinez's last inning because they still worked 20 pitch innings in the 2nd and 3rd, while Wood threw that many in the 2nd/3rd combined and can still potentially go 6.

 

EDIT: Of course a 4 pitch start to the 4th puts a wrench in things.

god i frigging love bryant

[Careless]

100+ pitches in the fourth, nice

[Gilby]

Bryant looks very good tonight.

[halplm]

Bryant is good.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Bryant is death to pitchers, homers or not. He just chews through pitch counts

[Sammy Sofa]

Bryant sure likes that whole getting on base thing.

[Guest]

Walk machine Bryant is back

[Guest]

[CyHawk_Cub]

[Guest]

[Gilby]

Excellent. Miggy's got really good power that way.
