  1. Lester had a perfect game thru 5 2/3 and yet, Wainwright has the longest streak of not allowing hits in this game.
  2. 8 BB in his first 20 innings. 16 in his last 18 1/3
  3. Company paid afternoon game at PNC today. Club seats with all you can eat/drink (humble brag). But the Brewers look to be hitting the proverbial wall. I'm sure they'll get a 2nd wind and likely make a move to help that happen, but they definitely look like a team that is feeling the heat. Speaking of, I didn't feel any heat indoors in the air conditioned PBC Club.
  4. Not officially a game until the tying run is at bat in a game the Cubs have completely controlled.
  5. Javy should always play like he has the last week.
  6. Maybe the most predictable lineup of the year. Zobrist isn't going to play a day game after a late night game. Same for Contreras who has caught nearly every day since Montero left. Jay almost always plays (and hits leadoff) when Zobrist is not in there.
  7. flailing dongs is a dark horse candidate See what you did there.
  8. Pirates take game 2 of the series vs. Milwaukee. 3 games out!
  9. Is the camera on balls in play darker or is it just me? Not just you.
  10. i don't really like this park. Doesn't feel "natural".
  11. So, looking ahead......if the Phillies can hold this lead, there's a good chance the Cubs can make up a couple games before going to Milwaukee to end the month. Brewers have been pretty good on the road, but play their next 10 away from Miller Park. While they do get the Phillies again, they have 4 vs. the Pirates and 3 vs. the Nats before the Cubs series. Meanwhile, the Cubs continue to face a bunch of bad pitchers. Atlanta has been solid this year, but you'd hope the Cubs could take 2 of 3 even w/ Lackey and Montgomery going. Then they get St. Louis with Arrieta, Quintana and Lester. After that it's 4 vs. the tanking Sox. If the Cubs can get a 7-3 next 10, and the Brewers go 4-6 on the road....that'll put the Cubs 1.5 back before the 3 gamer in Miller, win that series and I get complete confidence back in this team's playoff chances. Right now, I'd say I'm cautiously optimistic.
  12. Faster than any other Cub, at the very least. Yeah, I never knew this about Happ until seeing him play live. Most surprising thing has been his speed and his ability to play CF. Hell, I didn't think he'd be any good at 2B either.
  13. Not sure I've ever seen a pitcher have 12Ks with only 99 pitches.
  14. This is definitely more encouraging, especially the 2 out hits with RISP.
  15. If the Cubs are only going to score when they hit HRs, I'd like them to hit 5 of them per game like tonight.
  16. This is going to extras on the back of Eddie Butler out of the pen.
