Eaton has been unbelievable.

Time to break out the bats, boys!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2016 -> 05:23 PM) Mental part of the game has always been his biggest obstacle True.

And Lawrie rips another one.

Melky can't be stopped.

They actually retired Suzuki!

QUOTE (hi8is @ May 6, 2016 -> 08:05 PM) Yea - I don't trust the negative zone ratings on Jackson one bit. Defensive metrics are very flawed.

Austin Jackson! I luv defense.

Could've/should've been a bigger inning but I'll take it.

Lawrie smoked that curve ball.

Melky is a star.

Well this sucks.

What the hell was that?

Drive him in, Austin.

Wow Adam Eaton! Just wow!

Thank you, Jose!!!

What a Right Fielder!!

First 2 pitches in the same spot, one a ball the other a strike.

Nice hitting by Eaton, nice running by Saladino.

Dionner and Saladino get the job done. Too bad Garcia didn't get a better read on Saladino's hit.

Nice play, Saladino.

QUOTE (South Sider @ May 5, 2016 -> 09:00 PM) If anyone thinks the Cubs aren't legit, they're kidding themselves. That team is like the best Maddon Rays we've seen times two. Yeah, but they're still the Cubs.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 5, 2016 -> 08:44 PM) Think we should get rid of AJax, move Eaton back to center and put Avi back in right? Hell NO!

LOL "legitimately trying to field the ball." The throw was coming from RF so how is his foot on the 3B side of the plate trying to field the ball. He was trying to block the plate.

Great AB by Sanchez. He bats well over his career with the bases loaded - .500 BA with 2 grand slams.
