Can't remember seeing a Cubs pitcher with a strike % that high before. Horton was insane.

I'm positive Hendricks had games like that.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Now let's start hitting RHPs too, Seiya.

[chibears55]

Zuki, just high enough gets them another run

[nihilist]

23 scoreless innings from Horton, timely

I think it's more of a 3rd time facing batters thing.  

I think it's probably about 75% pitch count and 25% 3rd time through penalty at this point when you consider how many bats he's starting to miss.

Horton finishes the day with a 3.18 ERA. At some point his name has to at least start entering the conversation for ROY. There's no run away leader in the NL.

It's basically a five-way tie in Milwaukee for NLROY at this point.

Jokes aside, I don't know how Misiorowski can even realistically be in the running with 33.1 IP.

[Soul]

This is a game where I went to look at the start time and it's being played.  Good to see Suzuki get one.

He somehow has a higher fWAR than Horton coming into today.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Nice bounce back from Beardo.

[JHBulls]

That was fantastic. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Immaculate response Kittredge

[Ding Dong Johnson]

That was better than yesterday.

[Outshined_One]

9 pitches, 9 strikes, 3 outs.

Nice.

xFIP kind of hates Cade, not surprised by that.

[BigSlick]

Kittredge has been horsefeathers nails since we got him.

 

both he and Castro have been excellent pick ups so far

I see you missed yesterday's game.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Wake up from 3rd shift and that was the first half inning I saw. A perfect response from yesterday for Kittredge.
