81 pitches through 4 innings, I'd expect a little more damage but I won't complain about being up 3-0

Tuesday 6:10 Hendricks (1-1) Hand (0-1)
Wednesday 6:10 Lester (4-3) Haren (5-2)

Hearing Baez could get the call up next week in Detroit to be the DH...

All these close games, cubs could use an easy one
Looks like marlins refuse to cooperate with that right now

It's only 5-1 but the Marlins feel like no threat to make a come back. We need more boring wins like this plz

It tends to be that way when Hammel is pitching. He excels as a Cub.

5-1 in the 8th, and we get "only 5-1"?

How many 5-1 leads are lost in the majors? Not that many.

I meant the Marlins were such a non-threat in this game that it felt like a lot bigger lead

I'll gladly take the 5 runs over the 2 runs usually scored

I was really happy to get him back. I enjoy watching him pitch. He works fast and challenges hitters. For whatever reason, he likes it in Chicago and it has definitely shown over the last two seasons.

He playing left cause Soler injured (Ankle) and their facing a Lefty.

Maddon going with a RH lineup with, Ross C Herrera at 3B and Lake in RF

Dont expect much from offense tonight.. 7 - 9 basically automatic outs..

Hope to scrap 2 or 3 and get a big start out of Hendricks

Hammels has been pretty lights out this year. Easily our best pitcher thus far.


Another thing that is pretty crazy, is how he has rarely walked anyone.

Lake has hit the ball hard since getting the call. He doesn't have a lot to show for it in stats. Hendricks had a 12 pitch or so at bat last game. I think they will be fine.

Lol..

Your banking on a pitcher and a guy who hit a few balls hard off the bench as having confidence in today lineup to score runs. .. sorry but that sad..


Im good with 1 thru 6 in lineup but, their going to need big hits from the guys on top tonight to generate offense. ..
Dont expect anything from Ross, Hendricks, and Herrera

I read your doom and gloom posts in every game thread. So far the Cubs have scratched their way a bit over .500. I'm not banking on any pitcher, but 789 isn't much worse than any other team's 789.
