This will be Hamels Cubs coming out party. Predicting a big night, something like 5.1 IP 3 ER. At least 1 Cub will hit it to the warning track. Don’t hate me for being an optimist
Runs per game seem pretty normal lately over about any stretch you want to pick. A few clunkers (like always) but mostly 3-5+ runs. Just taking a quick look at the schedule going back ~2 weeks. I looked earlier and they collectively have a .703 OPS over their last 15 games or so
Maddon is famous for constantly tinkering with the lineup but now all the sudden he’s locked Heyward into the 3 hole after his first good stretch in 3 seasons

Random question but going to the Cougars game tonight. Any idea if there is anyone worth watching on Kane County or Burlington? It doesn’t look like it based on top prospect lists but figured I’d ask. I miss the days when I could go to a Cougars game and see Schwarber play.
