    Pitching has had a rough first half though certain guys are putting it together and we get Hendricks back from injury soon so that'll help.

    Plus I think our guys were over-committed after winning the WS. They needed a break. Here in Chicago, it seems every commercial has a Cub in it.

    Hopefully that's over and they are rested, healthy, and focused for the push.

    Jake's stuff looked really good in the 1st. Don't walk guys and it could be a really good outing.

    In other news, Carlos Martinez seems like he's constantly trying one-up himself with his ridiculous hair/facial hair.

    Grichuk continues to be trash against just about everyone but us. Hanging curve. Not ideal.

    60 pitches in 2 2/3 innings. Same shit, different day with Jake.

    He's been great... lots of swings and misses.

    Yep way too many full counts. Walks have been held in check at least. Be great if he could get through 6.

    Squared Martinez up 3 times there and didn't get a single base runner. Frustrating.

    On cue of course he lets the opposing pitcher run it full and foul a couple more off. 86 pitches through 5 though. Get through the 6th unscathed and we'll take it.

    hit two balls at over 100 mph both outs... pretty unlucky.

    7 in a row for Jake.

    Would make such a measurable difference if Jake went deeper. Nice effort all the same.

    Why not run for Schwarbs here? You're gonna want Jay or Almora in there for defense anyway. And as I type this he nearly gets picked off rounding second.

    Yep this ump has been garbage all day. Too many missed opportunities earlier in the game. Looking like the first half Cubs with all the runners left on.

    One of those games. The streak was fun while it lasted.

    Not that it matters now but that's why you run for Schwarber in the 6th. We might not get an out.

    Also further highlights the problem when Jake can't get deeper in games. Monty and Lackey aren't ever seeing lineups three times through. Puts such a toll on these guys to be perfect every time out.

    Went yesterday, got there early and lined up to get front row. Incredible day. Could have used the cloud cover they had forecasted. Lester was fucking dealing. Game went super fast.

    I about shit my pants when he hit and ran with Schwarber in the 8th.
