5/7 Dusty Baker's Nats (Gonzalez) @ CUBS (Hammel) 3:05 CDT CSN/FS1

[Bull]

Soler is the new La Stella; I am now bummed to see him in the lineup instead of Baez or, insanely, La Stella.

Warm day today= outfielders get it going. Dongs by Soler and Heyward. Somebody post that chart again, plz

Wow, I take it back. Usually Chicago is 5-10 degrees cooler than my location. High here today is 82, 58 in Chicago.

How good does your eyesight need to be to differentiate between colors on that chart?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Cubs are the one on top, the rest don't matter

[Agony and Ivy]

Wind blowing in at 19 mph I'm going with the prediction that we half dong Gonzalez to death.

Maybe Bryant breaks his HR lump and launches one even with the and blowing in.

[CubInOK]

Today we should go heavy right handed lineup. Hope Soler and Javy both have solid days at the plate!!!!

 

GO CUBS!!!

Umm... Baez isn't in the lineup today.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

I am glad that Daniel Murphy is sick I am tired of seeing him.

[Agony and Ivy]

Hammel is working so slow my god

[Agony and Ivy]

Nice catch Rizzo...that should be an e-3

[Sammy Sofa]

This game is going to take foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[soccer10k]

Where the hell did that one miss? Should be out of the inning.

[SpongeWorthy]

the hell?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I'm ready for robot umps.

[halplm]

robot umps please

[CaliforniaRaisin]

A preview of second-half Hammel

 

A groundball infield single that Rizzo could have caught and a walk on a pitch that should have been called strike 3?

 

I feel like you've forgotten how bad second half Hammel actually was.

[raw]

Hammel doing his best "opposing pitcher vs Cubs" impression with 45 pitches thru 2.

Missing lots of spots.

[badger]

Ball 4 turns into pop up. Robot umps please.

[halplm]

This ump is starting to piss me off

[Sammy Sofa]

And the game is just going to slow down even more when the Cubs start going.

9 of those after Rizzo whiffed on the one thing he's supposed to do as a defender and 3 more after a horrible missed strike 3 call

Fair. Haven't been watching closely but that seems logical given his PC/going deep into counts.
