    However Hamels does (if and when the bottom of the 1st ever comes), it's nice to see the Cubbies jumping out to an early lead tonight.

    EDIT: As a pitcher, it's nice to get your 1st AB before making your 1st pitch. Barring a GIDP here, Hamels will do just that.

          Well, Kingham isn't exactly giving up hard contact...

            I don't know if its just a coincidence, but he seems to 'force' more errors than any other player.

              He saw Rajai Davis trying to steal his thunder earlier this afternoon.

                Definitely not a coincidence, but a byproduct of his aggressiveness and placing defenders outside their comfort zones. I have to imagine that opposing teams are scouting him for his baserunning at this point.

                  Even though this is benefiting the Cubs....it is just so hard to watch a pitcher go through a 40+ pitch inning

                    51 pitches gets Kingham thru the 1st. Here comes Hamels.

                        93 MPH outside corner at the knees for Hamels' first pitch as a Cub. In the smallest and most irrelevant sample ever, I pronounce him HoF material.

                        Then Addy goes and muffs one...

                          Unfortunately, the M's get the lowly Jays next.

                            That Hamels changeup is still an out pitch.

                              Probably wasn't what Hurdle had in mind when he decided to IBB Baez.

                                Two bases loaded walks in the same inning? THROW STRIKES.
