kinda wild this team has a chance to be above .500. when was the last time they were above .500? June? 

Yep.

High water mark was 8 games over .500 (April 26)

Low point was 9 games under .500 (July 3)

So since July 3, the Cubs are 27-18

Palencia was recalled, Neely was sent down. A fresh arm, hopefully he can throw strikes

Neely got touched up to say the least here, but his raw stuff looked very good to me. High velocity with movement.

Might be the least deserved 2 outs in the history of baseball. 108 mph rocket double that missed being a HR by literal inches and another laser for a double play line out.

And now the ump is hosing Seiya again. Fun

2 of the first 3 Pirate hitters over 100 mph, not great.

[LBiittner]

Paredes long throw from his knees for an out. Wowzer. 

I'd be betting Morel never gloves it let alone makes that accurate throw 

[Tryptamine]

Steele does not have it at all right now. It's going to be a real short outing for him.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Pirates really own Steele for whatever reason

[LBiittner]

Justin, Justin 

[Crusader]

Steele isn’t fooling anyone today. He’s lucky he only gave up 2 runs. The defense behind him was really good.

[UMFan83]

I love how the Cubs started the game with a 108 mph fly ball that is a home run in 24 parks, a 105.5 mph line drive with a .660 xBA and a walk and they’re the ones losing 2-0

[chibears55]

They gonna get shutout tonight..lol

[Cubbies1996]

Jones is getting into a rhythm now. Great.

[Chicago Al]

Paredes running in slow motion, geez

[Eeyore]

Got lucky 

[CubinNY]

Paredes is slooooooooooow.

[BKHoo]

Paredes is slow! But it did not matter. 

[JHBulls]

Willi Harris is such a horsefeathers send-e-rer. Parades is slow as horsefeathers. 

[Chicago Al]

LFG!

[BKHoo]

Yes!  Dansby!! LFG.
