5/30 - Rays (McClanahan) vs Cubs (Hendricks): 7:05pm, Marquee

[Brock Beauchamp]

Cubs can get a series win out of the way after a nice win yesterday but given the pitching matchup here, I'm not holding my breath.

[champaignchris]

Good start from Nico. 

[cl smooth]

Who is the female voice doing the color commentary?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Bellinger is out until mid June? Him missing a month is not ideal.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Weak throw by Happ there.

[CubinNY]

Good outing for Kyle.

Funny since he was supposedly available to bat off the bench the first 2 games after getting hurt

[CubinNY]

Happ with a hustle double. 

[UMFan83]

Bases loaded 0 outs, Cubs looking to add onto a 2-1 lead, pitcher is all over the place with his pitches and just walked Seiya. Mancini swings at the first pitch and hits into a 1-2-3 double play. Ugh

[Irrelevant Dude]

Mancini is getting $7 Million next year too?  Woof.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

That's the good stuff Alzolay

[CubinNY]

How about that! 
 

a little life or a dead cat bounce, two really good and fun games in a row. Who cares!

[UMFan83]

Ok after the winning run was scored on an IF hit, error and sac fly yesterday, today it was scored on a pop fly miscommunication between the 2B and RF for a double and a bloop down the LF line. 
 

The baseball gods are finally taking pity on us

Where would this bullpen be without Alzolay?  He has been a consistent bright spot.

Momentum isn't real and strength of schedule barely matters 

[Derwood]

Curb-stompted by the Reds, but then hold down the Rays

Sure, Jan

[PackLandVA]

Doesn't mean much, but after beating the sh!t out of Cubs' pitching, the Reds put up another 9 runs on the road against the Red Sox.

Pretty standard stuff for the Cubs.
