I haven't read the thread or done any research, but I guess the Pirates play the Cubs today?

Good start by Montgomery again, lots of ground balls. Strop gets the save and Lester is starting against a rookie tomorrow...go Cubs.

Happ had a hell of a defensive day out in left. Maybe it's a quirk, maybe it's a portent. Either way it should be noted. Let the record show ....... heyyyyy.

Nice to see productive outs instead of strike outs with 2nd and 3rd and no outs.

Looks like the Bryant HPB was intentional though it would make no sense to do it .

Nice catch by Baez to end the game.

9 shutouts by the Cubs this year, 8 all of last year

Crackerjack managering to take Hendricks out with one run over five and 87 pitches so that La Stella could hit into a double play.

Obviously after the fact it looks bad. But no matter how good he is pitching they have to score some runs. They are looking for a big inning there. LaStella has been a great pinch hitter this year. Not like it was a crazy decision.

I just don't like going to the bullpen early. I think they could have gotten one more inning out of Hendricks, and after the gift of the shortstop slipping and falling in the mud, maybe resign yourself to a bunt situation, scratch out one, and try to get the big inning in one of the next four?

Yeah, I'd go with a six man rotation with Montgomery.. I'd also trade for Happ.. Toronto is in the cellar and his contract is up at seasons end.. He's having a nice year in the AL east.

And Hendricks is a good bunter too. Gotta blame this one on Maddon.
