Great AB Coghs

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 60-46 (.566) when they draw 1 or more walks.... 2-2 (.500) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

Holy pitch count.

[BigSlick]

I don't like the impression I get from reporters that they're surprised that Starlin is handling this move OK and isn't pissing and moaning all of the time, or it's just a matter of time before he does so.

Nothing could be easier for them to have some clubhouse cancer article pre-written and ready to go. The lack of an easy narrative ain't fun.

[BigSlick]

I really shouldn't be shocked, but I do find it surprising how much more fun, joyful and hopeful this team is when it's in a stretch of hot hitting and not a collective drought

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 29-19 (.604) when they steal a base.... 33-29 (.532) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Safe. Should be quick.

That's basically the desired narrative when any player is benched anywhere. Of course they don't want something boring like, "there's no drama; he's taking it as well as can be and wants to do what's best for the team."

Even the replays are going our way !!

[DiamondMind]

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 46-13 (.780) when they score 4 runs or more.... 16-35 (.314) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

Muahahahahahahaaaaaaah!

[chuckywang]

CUBS are 46-13 (.780) when they score 4 runs or more.... 16-35 (.314) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

That says more about the pitching than anything.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Is a starting pitcher ever going to see the sixth inning against us again?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Sunday we snapped a 4 game dong streak by getting held dongless. Time to start another streak, eh?

[Schwarber Fan]

Beauty!

[Gilby]

Dear God are we hot

Hey, I'm not prejudiced against pitchers..... why, some of my best friends are pitchers !!!

[DiamondMind]

Oh my god we're a pitchers worst nightmare right now

[Fred Hornkohl]

[Sammy Sofa]

Rocket one out of here, Soler. Just try not to kill a fan.

[Sammy Sofa]

Those are the strikes a butt would call.

[TruffleShuffle]
