4/26 Padres (Wacha) vs Cubs (Smyly): 6:40pm, Marquee

[Brock Beauchamp]

Just keep winning, just keep winning...

[Tryptamine]

I don't have numbers to support this, but it feels like the Cubs have always absolutely torched Wacha no matter the team he was with. Hopefully we get more of the same.

Yeah, first thing I think of when I see Wacha (besides being shocked he's still in the league) is the playoff dong-fest against the Cardinals.

Smyly is way better than I thought he was.

Nobody actually expected the rotation to look this good, did they?

I’m pretty amazed Smyly got out of that allowing only two runs. 

[CubinNY]

Bout time. 

[Nolansomebody]

Mancini with the game-tying run!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Dammit, I didn’t get to make my Fozzie Bear joke.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I’m starting to think Nico is kind of good.

[CubinNY]

Nico!

Remember when Dansby used to have pop?

Nice catch Happ......

[Ding Dong Johnson]

That’s Gold Glover Ian Happ to you.

[CubinNY]

Adbert is awesome

I’m have to start nudging my expectations for this team upward. They’re just playing too well, I don’t see them finishing under .500.

I second. The Cubs certainly have the team to do it. But then again, this is only April.

[Tryptamine]

Maybe don't walk the guy with the sub .200 batting average next time

I honestly never expected him to continue being a 25+ HR guy.  I won't be surprised if he ends up closer to 15 for most of his deal, but that's ok if he does everything else well (and at least starts hitting doubles).

Elite bat to ball skills

Annoying loss to clinch a losing homestand. Thankfully the schedule gets easier briefly before the real death march begins
