Miguel Rojas in to pitch . Time for Workman to get his 1st mlb hit ! Don’t blow it Tater 

success!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Every out you use a position player to get should be taken away from you at the plate, using one for 20% of your team's outs is a shameful slap in the face to paying customers

[Nolansomebody]

Just saw the score. Good lord.

[SpongeWorthy]

Rojas “hit” 41 mph on the gun on a couple pitches is that the record?

[UMFan83]

Busch should have tried to make it to 3rd even if there was less than a 1% chance of being safe to try for the cycle. Screw unwritten rules.

Workman getting his first two ML hits against position players is pretty funny. Can’t imagine it’s happened many times before. 

[UMFan83]

Cubs improve to 1-3 against the Dodgers with a +7 RD

So if Suzuki goes on IL, does Alcantara come up and get some starts in CF to give PCA a game or two to reflex ?

Turner will likely DH

IT'S BRUJAN TIME BABY!!!

Counsell said after the game that Seiya just reaggravated the wrist on his last lineout in tonight's game and right now he's day-to-day.  Good news it sounds like.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Nice game from Happ, hope it gets him going 

[javy knows my name]

The new way to outperform your pythag is to concede the game at 6-0 and let position players finish the second half of the game 

[NorthsideAvenger]

The Cubs bats are definitely going to sleep on Sunday but pleased they went crazy on Saturday night.

I don’t think I’ve been this excited about a Cubs team and watched a lower percentage of games

Me too. I have only watched the two Japan games and this one. Partially thanks to Marquee and also I was out of the country. Will tune in tonight on ESPN.

I'm still not sure that Ben is a starter at this level (yet) but he sure showed his immense potential tonight.  

He has to get a third pitch to succeed LT as a starter.

I've heard that day-to-day before.  Typically turns into day to days.

Dodger fans seem like the most unrealistic in baseball. If they don’t win every game, they boo like lunatics. 

And worse they started the wave.

I've watched 'em all. Well, fell asleep in the middle of the 2nd AZ game, but I tried to stay awake for it. Gotta get my money's worth out of the Marquee app. Wife started getting into audio books, so yay. Even watched all of the Masters coverage so far. Already have the overlap (Cubs start and Masters finish)  mapped out for tonight. Damn, I'm lazy.

It’s glorious! Normalize laziness on Sunday 

[Bertz]

The offense is obviously the story but the pitching staff coming into this environment and giving up only 3 runs in 17 innings is pretty cool.  Especially with no Shota/Steele contributing to that.

This sounds like what I used to do for Saturday Morning cartoons.  Gotta plan that stuff out so you don't miss anything!

[gflore34]

That was a long time coming, most impressive aspect was Brown finally throwing some strikes.  The result?  He shuts down one of the best teams.

[We Got The Whole 9]

I didn't realize that in 1 more game played than them the Cubs have scored 40 more runs than the Dodgers.
