If he had double the innings both his fb and ch would be top 10 pitches. 

 

Because of course. 

Wait a minute, Henderson doesn't throw 150 MPH?  He's a locate the FB, get batters out with a change up type, like Kyle Hendricks with maybe a tick more on the FB?

They were scouting Kaima Taira in Japan,  so he might be an option

Stay hot Alex

[chibears55]

 this offense would be crazy if they were getting anything consistent from Busch and Happ

Counsell trying to not say my pitchers suck so hard

Gets them on the board 

[mk49]

Pete finally hit against the Brewers.  Very nice.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

We only need 8 more

[We Got The Whole 9]

Good stuff Pete 

[Derwood]

Can anyone (not named Pete) hit a change up?

[BKHoo]

We need more runs. Many more. 

[JBears79]

Wow. golfed that out of here. I missed the swing cause I was cooking

If' Counsell's math is correct, this is a -3 run lead.

[abuck1220]

busch hitting so close to PCA in the lineup really emphasizes how much busch sucks.

[PeanutPunch33]

this is the best season i’ve ever seen from a cub.  one guy is literally the difference between 20 games over .500 and .500

[Derwood]

Vaughn continues his Hank Aaron turn 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Vaughn has been way too good, its insane. That was a great pitch too.

Yep, 2 things you can almost count on..

An opponent HR

Bullpen giving up 3 runs

[JBears79]

-4 run lead now

[Rex Buckingham]

I think I hate the White Sox more for trading Vaughn to the Brewers than anything they've done against the Cubs... except maybe the part they played in AJ Pierzynski being a thing at all

7 games in a row allowing a homer. I assume that's not even our worst streak this year

[UMFan83]

This is the 12th time in our last 13 games the Cubs have had a 2+ run lead.  So far they are 4-8 in those games. Let’s see how we do tonight

[Soul]

It is apparently impossible for the Cubs to score and put up a zero the next half inning
