[Sammy Sofa]

Everyone put your flippers together for Seal Boy leading things off.

 

Boy, good thing I posted this TOTALLY serious post praising La Stella and my affectionate nickname for him.

I love how this is suddenly a 1000 pitch inning.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

J-Hey!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 12-5 (.706) when Fowler starts at cf.... CUBS are 1-0 (1.000) when Hayward starts at cf

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

Heyward heating up!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Dong again, Anthony.

[ScrubMD]

I think Simon was at 25 pitches after the second out this inning.

say hey!!

[BigSlick]

This team is just delicious. Heyward is getting going, that was a great at bat where he even had an ugly swing early in it. Good stuff.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 11-1 (.917) when they score 5 runs or more.... 2-4 (.333) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Geech]

I think the Cubs pitchers being surprisingly effective at the plate is so much more fun than having a DH. I'm still of favor of the NL DH just to have equal rules between leagues, but I wish the equal rules could be pitchers batting.

i'm not entirely sure what the hell just happened with that steal attempt/slide/aftermath

[Bote McBoteface]

This team doesn't slide good.

Reds pitched out, Heyward tried to go through the 2nd baseman's legs.

 

Heyward was DOA because of the pitch-out and a very good throw.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

First-half Hammel in full effect.

they pitched out twice that AB? I was looking at the computer when the pitch was thrown and looked up when Len said he was running.

 

The slide and everything just looked extremely awkward to watch. but he's ok so i don't care.

Hammel looking 1st half

[Fred Hornkohl]

P/PA through 2 inning(s)....

 

CUBS: 4.18

Reds 3.83

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[weis21]

First-half Hammel in full effect.

i really want the cubs to give warren the ball every other hammel start in the second half to hopefully keep him fresh and this effective. maybe not the entire second half, but certainly at times (assuming that hammel looks like he's wearing down some)

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 12-5 (.706) when they draw 1 or more walks.... 1-0 (1.000) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[BigSlick]

[BigSlick]

Anthony Rizzo will dong himself to a 200 average
