Whew. Glad the Cubs had a pitcher hit there.

Dunno about leaving Marshall in.

Damn seeing eye single

Hendricks is leaving some balls over the middle of the plate. Just can't center him.

Keep walking the worst hitter

Seconded

Cubs honestly don't look good against Lopez. If he can settle down and stop putting people on base with walks I think he'll be effective the rest of the game.

Also I feel like he was right on the outside changeup and fouled it off. Not sure why Grandal went back to it.

That seemed like it should've been caught

Lopez definitely rusty but he's got good stuff. That slider can be something for him.

Did I tell you guys how much I like this team?

Giolito just hit 97

Nomar rocking that .286 slugging

Moncada really having some trouble this year on defense.

GIT ON BACK THERE!

Some good at-bats today

Moncada back at 3rd. Phew.

God damnit

BRB telling my wife I'm leaving her for Tim Anderson.

Right down the middle. Woof.

Yeah...

Burdi wild tonight

Burdi's changeup is stupid.

He's missing his location badly and he wasn't getting his offspeed over much. I don't think you can just rely on spin rate/carry on one pitch to carry you through a game.

Yup. This year to me is about enjoying a halfway decent team for the first time in like 8 years and seeing improvement. Next year is the time for expectations.
