6/6 Cubs (Hammel) @ Nationals (Ross) - 11:05 am (CST), CSN

[Fred Hornkohl]

..... and the CUBS still haven't drawn a single BB in a game and a half.

[OleMissCub]

This Ross pitcher reminds me of Juan Cruz.

Is Matt Williams really challenging this? They deserve to get screwed over later in the game if so.

 

EDIT: Guess not. Rules clarification.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

If that wasn't an official challenge the umps just wasted time there.

[BrockLanders]

Nice to see Dexter staying hot.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 23-13 (.639) when they score 3 runs or more.... 5-12 (.294) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

What would you give for a Bryant dong right here ?

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Fowler and Rizzo come through again!

[ScrubMD]

3-0 groundout to SS. Way to give 'em hell, Coghlan.

 

Don't mind him swinging there with Herrera on deck.

 

If it would have found a hole, it would have been a great AB. It didn't, so he sucks.

[ScrubMD]

We should have just brought up the Smokies lineup for today. They do pretty good against AA pitching.

 

I stand by this. Schwarber would have at least 3 dongs by now.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are seeing 4.33 P/PA so far.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

If that wasn't an official challenge the umps just wasted time there.

 

Play wasn't even reviewable so Joe West and company probably didn't even know it.

[Gilby]

Rizzo has a .330 batting avg and a .331 BABIP to go along with his 1.056 OPS. What a remarkable hitter he has become.

[Schwarber Fan]

Really sick of Espinosa.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Really sick of Espinosa.

 

Yeah, I don't think Hammel likes him too much either.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Hammel needs to go deep into this game to keep the bullpen from blowing it.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Well Junior Lake still sucks not shocking.

[d_money]

Just tuned in....Hammel looks to be tossing a nice game so far (2 hits)...

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 14-14 (.500) when the opponent GIDPs at least once.... 14-11 (.560) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammys Boombox]

That's a huge doubleplay. Hammel was having trouble. That keeps the pitch count down. Hopefully he settles back down and can go at least 8.

[Guest]

Nice DP!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 18-4 (.818) when they lead at the end of the 6th inning.... 10-21 (.323) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Huge double play there. Always a good thing to have bases empty for Harper even though he hit a weak fly to left field.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 22-10 (.688) when their starter pitches 6 innings or more.... 6-15 (.286) when he doesn't

CUBS are 21-6 (.778) when they get a quality start.... 7-19 (.269) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 27-18 (.600) when they draw 2 or more walks.... 1-7 (.125) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
