5/11 Padres (Rea) @ CUBS (Hendricks) 12:05 CDT CSN+

[Banedon]

Addison seems to be heating up.

[Omar]

I just noticed Fangraphs has added a "talent adjusted" line to their win probability chart. Cubs down 2-1 to the Padres heading into bottom of the second at home are still 61.2% to win.

yes but what about "grit adjusted" ?

[Ski]

Such a dumb bounce.

[Cubswin11]

Did Federowicz think he had that beat out??? Or is that jog as fast as he can run?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Has Zobrist made an out in May?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Ben Zobrist

[Aaron_Kennelly]

So much for that lead, Padres.

[soccer10k]

Love Zobrist.

[Ski]

Holy cow, Zobrist!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Did we conjure some sort of inverse monkey's paw that got passed from Fowler to Zobrist?

If so, let Heyward borrow it for a while.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Edwards is stretched out enough to go multiple innings if needed, right?

 

I'm just going off memory and not looking at logs but I believe he's strictly been a 1-inning reliever this season.

Correct

[Banedon]

The last time Zobrist didn't get on base was the bottom of the 7th on Sunday.

[Brian]

it's almost to the point where I'm going to feel obligated to buy Zobrist's wife's music.

CUBS are 13-4 (.765) when the opponent GIDPs at least once.... 12-2 (.857) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[soccer10k]

Needed the DP there.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 7-0 (1.000) when they hit an opposing batter.... 18-6 (.750) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[soccer10k]

Kyle was one pitch away from another quick inning. So much for that.

 

EDIT: Good enough.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 25-4 (.862) when they score 2 runs or more.... 0-2 (.000) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Cubswin11]

Heyward is close to going on a tear, lots of good contact the past 2 games

[Banedon]

Needs to quick swinging at high pitches though.

[JonJayCutler]

I just had a co-worker who I had previously thought was somewhat knowledgeable about baseball look at me and say "ZO-BRIST? I always thought it was ZORR-BST"

 

Sometimes you just don't really know people.

[badger]

The Wrigley crowd is annoying me with their roar at every fly ball, even though it's clear it's not close.

[Banedon]

Man, Zobrist not being in the 5 spot kinda sucks.
