8/16 Cubs lead early

[Andy]

Nelson Velazquez smashed a run-scoring double 18 inches or so short of a 3-run homer. Naturally, because nothing fully good ever happens, the Cubs left 2 RISP with 1 out after that.

I’m legit excited about Nico Hoerner being on the Next Great Cubs Team^TM

so, Reyes has resumed hitting the bejeezus out of everything right from the start of his Cubs tenure, that's a fun development

I'm starting to think Franmil may have been a good waiver claim.

Wonder if the Cubs are looking at him as potential future DH. His defensive metrics are absolutely terrible but as a pure hitter he could be useful

Wade Miley looked very Wade Miley-ish in his start at Iowa today.

It legit seems like he's destroyed the ball every single time up. Including twice in one AB earlier (a foul ball).

Steele ran out of gas in that inning

[CubinNY]

Cubs going to have to rebuild that pen. One thing we know for sure they can do.

[Derwood]

Cubs won in extra innings?
