[Derwood]

It's only the bottom of the 5th. I want 20

[JHBulls]

Don’t ever forget that we got PCA for rental Javier Baez and Trevor Williams. 

[BKHoo]

[We Got The Whole 9]

Dont horsefeathers short PCA. His hot streak is not over.

It's worth noting that Javy batted .299/.371/.515 and put up 2.0 fWAR in 47 games there. He was actually worth a pretty good prospect haul. Just not this much.

When one team had the three hottest hitters in the NL - they will win some games.

The 4th of July fireworks have come early at Wrigley Field

I like Thornton.  He's been good, so far.

Cubs should put up a bakers dozen today in this heat. Can the pitching hold the Padres to 12 or less?

I meant by the 5th

Done

[We Got The Whole 9]

When is the last time we had 3 3-run homers (or better) in a game?

Honest question: who are we comping PCA to now? Ken Griffey Jr. with speed? 
 

Is a 40/40 season out of the question?

Everybody needs to calm down on him until he can sustain it for a season.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Lol this is awesome. 20 is coming.

Not sure, but that made me think of the Sammy game in Colorado where he hit 3 3-run shots himself by the 6th inning.  Then I believe Dusty took him out...

[chibears55]

Ok, Conforto can stay a little longer 😅

I was about to make a snide remark about not PH Alcantara for Conforto vs the LHP, but I guess I'll take that

I was thinking the exact same thing again, lol

[JHBulls]

Remember when Justin Turner and Brujan used to make up our bench? I like this better.

Yeah, I do, too, except we don't have a backup 1B.

[Jason Ross]

So, should we still fire Craig Counsel?
