10/1 Cubs (Hammel) @ Reds (Lamb) 11:35, CSN;MLBN

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 17-30 (.362) when they give up 10 hits or more.... 76-35 (.685) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[BigSlick]

I definitely have visions of Rodney blowing a huge situation in the playoffs

 

This has more to do with my intense hatred of Fernando Rodney than anything else, but I can't change that

I don't know how many huge situations Rodney will face, as he's behind a few faces on the totem pole.

Given Maddon's love of him and some of Grimm's uneasiness of late, I fully expect Rodney to get some innings in the playoffs (if the Cubs move on)

 

Those will be my most butt clenched moments

[KatJ]

is it me or does kat have a problem with middle relief?

 

does middle relief mean jon lester in another language?

 

No, you [expletive]. :-) As Joe said, he seems to be peaking at the right time.

 

But I do wonder/fear esp about Strop. If the Cubs can beat Pitts, I'm not terribly confident given the majority of his outings, esp at Busch.

[Fred Hornkohl]

The CUBS have allowed 12 hits in their last 4 games...... and 11 hits today.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 76-2 (.974) when they lead at the end of the 8th inning.... 17-63 (.213) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[KatJ]

My apologies, Strop: good job.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 60-0 (1.000) when they lead by 2 or more runs at the end of the 8th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 67-25 (.728) when they get they get at least 8 hits .... 26-40 (.394) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

How 'bout a 1-2-3 save, and hold the drama ??

[Fred Hornkohl]

That's one !!

[PrimeTime]

Baez is a defensive wizard

[BigSlick]

Addison Russell within striking distance of that .700 OPS. Just gotta get a couple more extra base hits and continue getting on base, Addy!

 

This is very important btw

[philosophizer75]

I freaking love Baez, if he is traded it had better be for a helluva return

[Fred Hornkohl]

That's two !!

[BigSlick]

The Reds may have a bunch of stupid little hits today but they also have zero (0) walks, which matters to me much more

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-16 (.273) when they give up 12 hits or more.... 87-49 (.640) when they don't

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS WIN !! CUBS WIN !! CUBS WIN !!

94-65 and Jake on the bump tomorrow. Life is good

[PrimeTime]

W! Now sweep the Brewers and please help us out Reds by taking 2 from the Pirates

[Fred Hornkohl]

The Reds may have a bunch of stupid little hits today but they also have zero (0) walks, which matters to me much more

 

CUBS are 80-60 (.571) when they allow walks.... 13-5 (.722) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Cubs out score the Reds 19-7 in the sweep, only 1 of those runs allowed by a starter.

The majority of his outings?

 

Then how does he have the number she has? Sorcery?

[ctcf]

Man heading into this season I was just excited about likely being competitive and maybe being in the WC race. Here we are at 94 wins with the possibility of 97. Unbelievable.

[UMFan83]

sweep the Brewers and finish 0.5 games behind that great 2008 team. Boggles my mind.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cubs out score the Reds 19-7 in the sweep, only 1 of those runs allowed by a starter.

 

Only 3 of the 7 runs allowed were earned.
