6/13 Reds (Leake) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 6:15 PM (CST) FOX

[Fred Hornkohl]

The Reds did the smart thing by putting in an actually good pitcher after the delay.

 

Parra gave up a rocket, got a borderline K call, and gave up a warning track shot.

Now, I'm not aware of how much wear these guys have had lately, but we should have gone Grimm for two, then Strop/Rendon to close it out. Why are we trotting Russell and Wood out in a close game?

 

Our bullpen has pitched 11 innings in the last 2 games. i imagine they're pretty gassed.

[Schwarber Fan]

Ideally, Maddon probably was planning on Grimm for the 7th. Russell has been phenomenal until tonight.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Ramirez and Soriano please hurry up and get here soon!

[Guest]

Can't wait until they add Ramirez and Soriano to the pen.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 22-4 (.846) when they lead at the end of the 6th inning.... 3-4 (.429) when they're tied.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

It's amazing how few leads the bullpen has actually cost the team.

 

CUBS starters..... 3.84 ERA

CUBS relievers.... 3.34 ERA

[Schwarber Fan]

Not liking the feel to this game... Karros' point about mental edge seems legit.

[Ski]

Seriously enough with the hard hit outs nonsense.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-0 (.000) when they GIDP 3 or more times.... 32-27 (.542) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 24-0 (1.000) when they lead at the end of the 7th inning.... 3-5 (.375) when they're tied.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

lol strop

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Lester is definitely going to need to go deep into the game tomorrow.

[Ski]

Wow, nice framing.

[DiamondMind]

what the hell is karros talking about

[Gilby]

They really need to add lights to the outfield.

[TruffleShuffle]

I'm pretty confident we're done playing tonight. We could use a cheap W.

 

maybe you should discontinue your weather forecasts for cub games considering that you're always [expletive] wrong.

[DiamondMind]

dude karros is straight up talking [expletive] about strop

[Guest]

Runs, please.

[Ski]

Phew.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 7-6 (.538) when they hit an opposing batter.... 25-21 (.543) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[DiamondMind]

karros says strops quick pitch is 'almost bush league, gimmicky' and that 'he doesn't remember any hall of famers using a quick pitch'

[DiamondMind]
