Good thing Happ tried to go to third there.
-
What are you doing?
-
Most times GIDP in a game is 7, by the Giants in 1969. Only 14 other teams have ever hit into 6 in a 9 inning game.
-
Lol. Another GIDP.
-
pitchtrax or whatever has been showing pitches about 3 ft higher than they actually were. I haven’t been playing super close attention but there was a strike 3 that Happ swung that was definitely in the zone and the pitchcast on the broadcast had it almost off the screen.

Yeah, my total meatball take is that it's still better to go alternating sides as much possible while allowing to make lineup adjustments in regards to crazy splits. Joe seems to love the idea of stacking to one side whenever he can like it's going to lead to an offensive onslaught, and any anecdotal evidence I can think of makes it seem like it almost never works out. I think he likes to mix it up a lot and alternates righties and lefties. That’s how we’d end up with Almora batting ahead of Schwarber against a righty sometimes. Last night he went R L R L S R R P R. Day before he went R L R L R L R P R (Almora 5th and Schwarber 6th against a righty). I’m sure he’s got plenty of lineups where righties are stacked. Even tonight it looks like it’s stacked with lefties at the top but he’s alternating with switch hitters so there’s no run of righties or lefties when the Pirates go to the pen.

It’s definitely Sammy Sofa’s fault.
-
Believe it or not but one of those was actually started by Chatwood. He threw 7 shutout against the Brewers on April 29.
-
Two in a row? Today was a good day. Cubs won, Cardinals lost, Lester looked good and Happ hit his first homer in nearly a month (I assume he finally found the right person to sacrifice last night). This is an important one to win because it means we'll end up with a split since Sammy Sofa will be cursing the Cubs with his presence over the weekend, likely bringing the Cubs a pair of losses. GO CUBS!

Hopefully the Cards pull 2 of three from the brewers and we do the same from the Buccos i think i'd rather have the brewers win 2 of 3 Same. But really I'm okay with 2 of 3 either way. I just don't want one of them to sweep.
-
I actually looked at the whole NL standings for the first time probably all year, and it's just weird. WTH are Atlanta and Arizona doing up there, and why is LA on the outside looking in. And isn't St. Louis supposed to be having a bad year and not 0.5 out? The Nats have got to be done. That's too much ground to make up on too many teams. They’d have to play at a 110 win pace the rest of the year just to get to 88 wins.
-
Finish this off, Strop.
-
Tell JD to get us another run also.
-
He is our team leader in bWAR this year. Third in fWAR.

This is the thread where we talk about how awesome Kris Bryant is
soccer10k replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Different body part but did Zobrist have any sort of surgery on his wrist in the offseason. He was dealing with that for most of last year and I think I remember hearing he just needed rest to let it heal. This could obviously be worse than that but sometimes rest is the only thing that helps. -
I'm in the win column! Of course, even the blind squirrel finds a nut every once and a while. The Pirates had some fun a couple weeks ago when they won 11 straight games and had outside hopes at a wildcard, but they're pretty mediocre so it would be nice to crush them. Plus the Brewers and Cardinals play this weekend so if we win games, we'll pick up ground on someone. GO CUBS!

[-X Ok Southpaw, now pick up Matt Carpenter. EDIT: He got hit in the back of the hand or the wrist in the 7th inning today and left the game immediately.
-
https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TEX/TEX200905160.shtml It was this game. Lackey threw all of two pitches. He hit Kinsler and was tossed.
-
Umps tossed Urena which should diffuse it a bit. Wonder how many starting pitchers have ever only thrown one pitch in a game before.
-
Ronald Acuna has homered in 5 straight games. First pitch of tonight’s game Urena plunks him with a 98 mph fastball. The rest of that game should be interesting.
-
Those are both strikes. horsefeathers off, blue.
-
Shaw’s not having the best of days defensively. Didn’t learn from Russell either.
-
It was only three years ago that we had the third best record in the majors and not only didn’t win the division but weren’t even guaranteed a home playoff game. Sometimes you get stuck with that and sometimes you get a weak division.
-
Damn. Good throw would have nailed him.
