6/20 - Cubs (Stroman) vs Pirates (Oviedo): 6:05pm, Marquee

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Cubs are 8-2 over their last ten, are 0.5 GB their opponent today for third place in the NLC, and 4.5 games ahead of the Cardinals.

This is a pretty nice run and they put Stro on the mound again tonight.

[Tim]

We also have a run differential 30 better than anyone else in the division, even though we're in 4th place. The second best run differential belongs to the Cardinals, who are in last.

Then there's Miami with negative run differential and 11 games over .500.

Stroman sure is pitching for a paycheck this winter. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

We very nearly had a Barnhart and Madrigal HR in the same game.  I wonder what the odds would have been on that parlay.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Madrigal finally hits a ball 380 feet and he does it at PNC national forest

[Derwood]

This game is flying by.

And Stroman with only 70 pitches through 6 innings

Seems to have lost his command a bit in the 7th unfortunately. If he finishes this inning it his will probably be his last

Sorry, I jinxed him into a 30 pitch inning

[UMFan83]

Phew, thanks for swinging at ball 4

[UMFan83]

Tauchman does it again 

[cl smooth]

Horny for a Hoerner triple

[Derwood]

Another huge strike zone
