8/7 Cubs (Hamels) @ Reds (Wood) 6:10 CST NBCSCH

[Sammy Sofa]

The only thing saving Almora from being the most useless player on the 40 man is the presence of Addison Russell. What a gigantic bust.

[Brian]

in the AL West that's a pop up to 2nd

[Old Style]

Lucroy sucks. DFA him now.

[Derwood]

Happ has the highest OBP of any player in the history of Great American Ballpark

[Schwarber Fan]

Lucroy is going to be good for us.

[Sammy Sofa]

What an awesome inning. Happ and Castellanos are shaping up to be the damn heroes of the second half.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Happ has the highest OBP of any player in the history of Great American Ballpark

He's clearly been rejuvenated by being called up to a team in contention.

[We Got The Whole 9]

This Aquino dude was their 29th ranked prospect by fg coming into this year

[Schwarber Fan]

Hamels has nothing today.

[TMan92]

Aquino is a new Cub killer. Welcome to the club.

[BigSlick]

I think Hamels is broken again guys

[profisme]

Oh good. Another Red who crushes us.

[Schwarber Fan]

A few more bullets and I’d consider pinch hitting for Hamels next inning.

[We Got The Whole 9]

118 holy horsefeathers

[Derwood]

118mph exit velocity

[Cubswin11]

That was a dick shot but great to see we have no plan of attack against a young hitter once again. Good job advanced scouting.

[TMan92]

I think Hamels is broken again guys

 

Happened last time after an oblique strain.

[Michael Busch Light]

My lord 118 MPH.....WTF.

[Cubswin11]

Get Chatwood up, Cole is dog horsefeathers tonight

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Sometimes pitchers settle down, but I'm not sure that's going to be Cole tonight. Let's at least have a lead after this half inning.

[UMFan83]

Nick Castellanos is exactly what the Daniel Murphy acquisition should have been

 

Go back and look at Daniel Murphy’s first 6-7 games with the Cubs last year. Very comparible to what Castellanos has done.

 

Of course the rest of his tenure here was no bueno

[itisallpartoftheplan]

We cant have nice things on the road, can we?

[We Got The Whole 9]

That was a dick shot but great to see we have no plan of attack against a young hitter once again. Good job advanced scouting.

Noone really has yet. He has 31 HR in 84 games this year.

[Derwood]

Hamels can’t get his curveball over for strikes
