05/30 Dodgers (Wood) @ CUBS (Hammel) 4:05 CDT, WGN

I didn't look to know if this is factual, but I'm pretty sure the Dodgers' bullpen before they get to Jansen hasn't been great this season.

Sounds about right. Based on ERAs, only Blanton and a lefty have been decent. And Blanton is still Joe Blanton when all is said and done.

Travis has definitely been the better Wood in this one.

[Schwarber Fan]

Props to T. Wood!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

We continue the trend of having good games when guys get hurt.

[soccer10k]

Awesome job by Travis.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Reminiscent of Good Travis Wood from last year that bailed us out of similar situations numerous times.

Travis Wood seems to pitch better when the Cubs are more desperate. If the Cubs were down 2-0, I'm sure he would have given up 4 more.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Wood with 43 pitches, 35 of them strikes

I'm liking Javy walking up to "Informer."

and then here comes Scissors with a dumb Jeep commercial playing

Except for the fact that it means Javier Baez is coming up to hit.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

poor Thom

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Please, I already am at maximum capacity with this song's existence in my life.

[BigSlick]

Ah jeez, how bad does it look for Hammel? Cramps don't *sound* too bad but woof I know that's a common thing for him

[raw]

I hate the doubleswitch to make the pitcher's spot come up earlier. Would have rather wasted Federowicz for an AB and then switch in Szczur.

[raw]

So, their only hit was a misplayed popup?

[TruffleShuffle]

sandberg is now that guy who has lived an interesting life and has plenty of good stories to tell, but now he's just talking about his boring grandkids instead.

yeah, it happens so often I can't figure out if Joe keeps screwing it up or just doesn't give a horsefeathers because we're so awesome

Whoa. I didn't even realize that.

[UMFan83]

I'm liking Javy walking up to "Informer."

 

Javy was all of 31 days old when Informer was released. Crazy

[Aaron_Kennelly]

We're all in agreement that even lazy fly outs are a good sign for Heyward at this point?

That, and I find myself excited that despite him not hitting at all he still has a near .330 OBP.

[Gilby]

That's gonna make for an awkward bottom of the 8th.

Lord, Puig is terrible.
