      La Stella in the 3 hole seems a bit weird. Not the strangest thing Joe's done with the lineup this year, I suppose.

        If they give me the initial exit velocity and/or home run distance, I can actually calculate an approximate elevation angle for you.

          Man...Vizcaino just makes it too interesting. I was completely expecting him to blow Soroka's win. Great game though...I'll take it!

            2-hit shutout...very great to see.

            Freddie continues to smash...I was so worried when his wrist was hit a few weeks back, I'm glad there is no lingering issues.

            Now, time for Acuna to be in the lineup on Friday when I go to the game.

            It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

              I don't see how Joe can justify taking Montgomery out if the rotation once Yu is back

                Man, no pulse in the offense again.

                Guessing Hader for the 8th?

                  So, we're doing that thing again where we inexplicably don't score any runs against mediocre pitching? Alrighty. The team should be re-branded as the Chicago Streakiness.

                    Unfortunately finances will dictate that Monty go back to the pen while Darvish and Chatwood continue to stink it up in the rotation. Although, at this point I wouldn't be surprised to see news that Darvish is out for the season as this lingers more and more. It only takes a blister to get it started...

                      Hader makes 2 perfect pitches on Rizzo for the backwards K. Good restraint by the ump not to toss Rizzo.

                        Joe stashing Steve Cishek in LF while Duensing pitches the 8th.

                        Check that - Duensing pitches to one batter, and Cishek heads back to the mound and Duensing to LF.

                        Duensing in to pitch one more time and Contreras (non-starter today) takes left, ending this little cycle of baseball oddities. The ball finds Contreras immediately for the last out of the 8th.

                          Good to see the Brewers rick-rolling their own fans to kill time as Maddon switches P/LF options.

                            Lorenzo MVP of the series and that mediocre pitching holding the hot Cubs scoreless over 18 innings deserves runner up. Bah, Chacin has been one of the consistent pitchers in the rotation with Anderson and Nelson recovering from injuries.

                            Looks like Hatorade has his mojo back. I think that guy needs the ball every other day to be effective and consistent. Before the opener with the Cubbies, he didn't have the ball in hands since last Wednesday.

                                Haniger with the walk off home run! Huge sweep of the Angels before the brutal stretch coming up.
