9 game road trip starts tonight. Phils, Braves, and Nats.

Lester vs. Adam Morgan tonight. Cubs crushed him last time out. Lets do it again.

Kind of OT, but I'm at the point with this team that I just want to see positive development out of young/struggling hitters more so than I want to see wins. For me, seeing Baez/Soler/Russell/Heyward not strike out, drive the ball, etc matters way more to me than actually winning with this team.

It's kind of like watching the 2014 Cubs again in a way but I want to see them win more than I did that year obviously. But if this game happened last year at this time, I'd not care about any development and just want to see wins. Kind of like they've become so good in a regular season that you pass the point of truly caring about the individual wins and losses.

Lol Wow! That ball was absolutely smoked. You dont see to many balls go to the fence when hitting the ground that early.

Its a double, but Bryant hits one about 470 foul then almost goes oppo. Not bad for a loopy swing.

Baez with an early chance to blow this one open.

Tough to be a young hitter and hit when the ump is giving the pitcher 6 inches. You dont know where the zone is anymore

Damn! Only 1 run, but I see us getting to him soon. He had to throw 30 pitches.

Nice play by Soler....but a seasoned LFer is standing at the wall waiting for it.
