6/7 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Nationals (Zimmermann) - 3:05 pm (CST), CSN

[Guancous]

Quick, clean inning for Rondon

[Guest]

Nice inning from Rondon.

[Guancous]

Mass exodus of Nats fans here at the park. They must have been waiting for Harper's last at-bat.

[KaiserCesar]

If you still view Rondon as the better pitcher, then this move still makes sense. Rondon facing Rendon/Ramos/Demsond while Strop gets Moore/Taylor/Zimmerman. Heck, with the 3 run lead still in tact, Strop might not even be the sure option.

[TruffleShuffle]

he said that he wants to give rondon a chance to work through some things in lower leverage situations. i don't think rondon is out as closer, they're just going to play it by day.

[BrockLanders]

Motte is warming up...

:banghead:

[KaiserCesar]

Strop will come in to K the side if there's any trouble, don't worry.

[Careless]

3/4 is nice.

[Guest]

CUBS WIN!!

[KaiserCesar]

Woo, good win and close to the series with the day off tomorrow.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

nice effort from everyone out of the pen. 3 out of 4 against Washington on the road is pretty awesome!

[TruffleShuffle]

very good series and great job by the pen today. #wearegood

[Bruno7481]

Motte had some nice velocity that inning. Consistently hitting 97 mph.

[Gilby]

[expletive] yeah. Great series. Motte looks healthy, consistently 97-98 mph.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Since that 3-9 start to May that had everyone running for the razors, we're 15-10, including 12-6 vs. >.500 teams (KC, Nats, Mets, Pirates, SD.)

[DiamondMind]

Great job from the pen today!

[Sammy Sofa]

Man, that was the most fun I've had at a Cubs game in a long time.

[ctcf]

Definitely does not feel like they won the season series against the Nats but they did.

Rondon threw way more sliders today than he has recently.

[Guest]

Lester looks like he happened to be sitting right where they decided to take the picture and they kept bothering him until he agreed to stand up.

Denorfia looking like Smoltz in that pic. Also, smh that Arrieta is a flat billed cap guy apparently.

He looks like Dempster to me with his hat on.
