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

[treebird]

bryant ridiculous scoring from first there. i love it.

[ARCubsFan]

Miggy respected about 10 there

[Careless]

buh-bye

[ctcf]

Miggy is like having a mascot that can actually play for you as well

[Derwood]

Holliday just assumed Bryant would pull up at third (lol)

[mul21]

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.

 

You were saying?

Martinez more than doubled his ERA tonight. Maybe we should've paid more attention that he'd faced PHI, MIL, and CIN (x2) this year.

[Schwarber Fan]

You have to love Montero's use of the opposite field, even if stands to admire every hit.

something something never doubt your first instinct

Montero's OPS is up to .869.

 

I wonder if he'll catch Lester. I doubt it, but he won't start tomorrow either vs a lefty.

[Guest]

i'm so mad that the cardinals won a million one run games against the pirates while we lost two to the [expletive] brewers so that even if by some chance we sweep this series we still won't be in 1st

I'd rather them beat the Pirates. Our season is more likely to swing on the Pirates' record than the Cardinals'.

 

We talked about the rookie BB record the other day. I think Bryant really might challenge it.

I think they'll stay the course. Since Thursday is a day game after a night game you need 2 different catchers for Wednesday/Thursday, might as well let Ross take the Lester start and get Montero the next game.

montero trying to do it to rizzo before bryant

[Butterscup1679666578]

oh god

[Careless]

everyone is trying to break Rizzo, wtf

[OleMissCub]

My heart just stopped. Holy crap

[mul21]

Well, his ridiculous ERA/FIP split was noted, so I'm not surprised we got to him, but it's nice that it went as well as it did.

[ARCubsFan]

Bad Derrek Lee nightmares

[Guest]

i'm worried that rizzo is still grimacing

[Gilby]

This would be a very Cardinals way to score.

wow Russell

[Derwood]

Russell with two really good "no panic" plays despite the fact that he constantly looks terrified
