Remember last year when we were like "guys I know it's a small sample size but Heyward is 2 for his last 9 but he had 3 other hard hit outs. I think he's back"

[Agony and Ivy]

None of these are cheap either. He is hitting horsefeathering missiles.

[Derwood]

Heyward stole Bryan'ts mojo or something. It's backwards-world this year

That pitch he just hit out was either by him or a weak pop up last year. That was a Stanton style HR.

Yeah he absolutely pops that up last year.

Yes, every road game should feature the day's pitcher batting before he pitches.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Catching up on the first inning, that's not the first time that Cervelli has kicked out at a baserunner while 'receiving' a throw to the plate, which seems to have no other purpose than to spike said baserunner.

[UMFan83]

Starting pitching...blah

 

Cubs have allowed 13 runs in their last 7 1st innings (6 of the 7 games at least 1 run allowed)

Had a really dumb drunk idea while sitting at the game last Sunday. For games on the road, put yesterday's starting pitcher in the lineup. If he comes up in the top of the first, you can use a pinch hitter. If not, just sub in the correct starter when you get to the bottom of the first.

Sure would be nice to have Hammel, too bad his like $8 mil was too much to hang around

I think I'm good without his 5.20 ERA, and this is his good half too.

[mikeyt34]

Wow. They gave him a double. Hey, I'll take it.

[David]

it's weird starting to see heyward as a somewhat imposing hitter after seeing him as a weaker ryan theriot last year

[chicagocubs04]

RIP Kuhl's ERA

[Brian]

20 RUN GAME ALERT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL

[bukie]

I think if the Cubs bat around in every inning, they may win this game.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'm done with baseball if they lose this game
