That was a low pitch inning for Jake but I can't see Maddon using him in the 9th. Great outing from Jake though.

[badger]

I'm wrong

[soccer10k]

Bet he'll get a chance at a cgso

 

Wood started warming last inning and is still throwing in the pen. I bet he'll start the ninth.

Indeed great outing and much needed. Like I said I think he was struggling with command early, I think he took a little velo off the fastball and got it under control which is why it was only a 4K effort. 8 IP 0 ER 3 H and 1 BB is great to see

[soccer10k]

So many near dongs today. Hopefully I'll get one tomorrow.

This ballpark is dumb. At least we only have to come here once every six years.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

That's the third ball Rizzo hit to the warning track but only has a double to show for it.

[UMFan83]

Ugh Travis Wood. I'm on record saying I don't like this

[badger]

I'm gonna believe that this is the start of #2ndhalfjake

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Ugh Travis Wood. I'm on record saying I don't like this

 

I'll go on record saying it will be fine and I am not worried.

I didn't say I was worried, except about the shutout. He's been a bit of a garbage run gifter. Anyways you are likely going to win.

Man we won a Jake start? We must be hot

Why is this thread as long as a late 2012 game thread?

I'm going to reverse UM this one and say that aside from a 5-15 stint in early July, the Cubs are 63-26.

People must be watching the Olympics instead I guess.

[philosophizer75]

not much to see, say, or talk about when your opponent would probably lose to some AAA teams.

[badger]

Pre-ASB feels like along time ago...

Combination of a Saturday afternoon + Olympics?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

yea it's a gorgeous saturday, so I bet a lot of people are enjoying the weather.

[BigSlick]

I'm unilaterally declaring Jake fixed.

There wasn't enough to complain about today.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Magic number is 44.

 

That didn't last long. Magic number down to 43.
