[Cubswin11]

Lester battled tonight, clearly did not have it but kept us in the game.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Farrell? What the

[chicagocubs04]

why is this guy pitching...?

[Cubswin11]

KB!

[Brian]

that is supposed to be a dong damnit.

 

Rizzo do something finally

[We Got The Whole 9]

Hell yes needed to see that KB

[cl smooth]

KB with the triple!

[NotSoSober]

Maddon has clearly had a couple bottles tonight. Thankfully Farrell got out of that inning.

 

Now would be a nice time for Rizzo to be Rizzo

[Bryants Disco Ball]

You did your job, Anthony.

[NotSoSober]

Or do your best Heyward impersonation. It works....I guess

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Best baserunner in baseball

At some point Ferrell and Wilson need to pitch, Cishek is on pace for like 95 appearances and Strop and Carl were used heavily over the weekend. Hopefully Maples or Adbert are up soon.

Agreed. What the hell happened to the wind tonight?

[Agony and Ivy]

Alzolay is shoving for Iowa tonight.

[Gilby]

Luke Ferrell: strike throwing 95mph reliever is kinda interesting

I've been out of town for the last week. Did Farrell replace Butler? I remember seeing Butler headed to 10 day DL.

Yes

Yup, the stuff looks okay and the results have been good. His minor league numbers kinda suck though so idk what to think of him.

[BigbadB]

Nice couple of innings. Seems like the pitching is starting to get dialed in.

[UMFan83]

I just realized the Cubs just went an entire turn of the rotation without giving up an earned run. How rare is that?

 

Edit: 33 2/3 consecutive innings overall

[Cubswin11]

Russell hitting the ball hard there, things are happening there

[We Got The Whole 9]

Jeez I thought he'd beat that out easily

It has to be really rare and the 33.2 has to be up there for team record.

feeling dongish here
