Thu 4/20 4.40p: Michael Grove vs. Assad Fri 4/21 11.20a: Julio Urias vs. Smyly Sat 4/22 11.20a: Clayton Kershaw vs. Wesneski Sun 4/23 11.20a: Dustin May vs. Stroman
Weather forecasts show a weekend of wetness in Chicago, where the Thursday game is already in rain delay with tornado warnings (as of 5.20p PT Thursday). Given this is against a Cubs team that took two of three at the Stadium last week, I'm forecasting a whupping @ Wrigley. Maybe all we can do is pray for rain.

Outman RF
Freeman 1B
Martinez DH
Muncy 3B
Thompson CF
Peralta LF
Vargas 2B
Williams SS
Barnes C
Grove P
Mookie is back from paternity leave, but he's not starting.
Muncy HR.
But then Cody HR.
2-2 tie in the 7th, and Mookie enters the game and promptly singles. One out in T7
And Barnes GIDPs to end the inning.
BRING UP CARTAYA
GET RID OF BARNES
Freeman with a SB!
He takes third on the throw. Still two out.
Muncy walks, so now it’s Thompson.
This will not end well
Thompson flies out with two RISP.
We suck
Mookie bails out the team in the eighth with an outstanding play at SS.
We’ve got first and second with none out, and I think we are going to come away with NOTHING
OUTMAN!!!
oh shit Outman!!
Charley Steiner just Charley’d the call. “MICHAEL OUTMAN!….JAMES OUTMAN!!!”
spank!!!!!!

Big game for Outman! Awesome!
GAME 2
Betts RF
Freeman 1B
Martinez DH
Muncy 3B
Vargas 2B
Outman LF
Thompson CF
Williams SS
Wynns C
Urias P
Urias got squeezed on strike 3. Maybe a bad reception by Wynns, but it leads to a 2 run double for the Cubs.
Wisdom down swinging and he was not happy about it. Hot mic!
31 pitches for Urias in the first is no bueno.
Dodgers flailing in the 2nd. 3 strikeouts. Down 2-0 going to the bottom half.
Hey welcome back Quad!
God these early games are throwing me off :)
If you ever have the opportunity to see a game at Wrigley Field, I highly recommend it. Have an Old Style or two as well.
Hi Sax!
Cubbies get another run in the second. 3-0 after 2.
Geez, Urias gives up a triple which comes around to score. It's 3-0 CHC through 2.
dammit
@Quad 11.51a: totally agree. I have loved my visits to the friendly confines, with the beer poured by the roving guys at your seat, the old-timey band, everything.
Dodgers have had seven batters today and five have Kd.
Lukewarm take: Trayce Thompson is not good.
Luke Williams Ks on three straight pitches. That's the Dodgers' 6th K of the game, and we're not even one pass through the lineup yet.
Is this Drew Smyly on the mound? Or Kerry Wood?
Another 1-2-3 inning for Smyly. He's seen the minimum through 3.
Cubs up 3-0
Bellinger with a two-out solo HR. Bellinger is now batting .300.
We're down 4-0 and Urias is getting smoked
Smyly looks like he has no hit stuff against us.
Mancini went back to back with Cody.
Julio’s day is done. Just 3.1 innings. Let’s see the bullpen can hold it down.
This bullpen? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Urias' line: 3.1 IP, 7 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 4 Ks, 2 HR. ERA is now 3.33.
Horrible.
In good news, Austin Wynns actually threw out a runner tying to steal (Nico Hoerner), for the third out of the fourth.
Cubs 5-0
We kept the Cubs from scoring! Now let’s gets some hits!
My hope for the bullpen is as far gone as that Wisdom bomb. 8-0 now.
Urias starting the game, and we are down 12-0 already.
And it’s the fifth inning.
This team sucks.
Cubs have scored 7 runs in the fifth. There's only 1 out.
Smyly/Wood is dealing. I'll keep watching the game just in case.
Perfect through 6.
Cubs score again. 13-0.
Perfect through 7.
At this stage, there is only one reason to watch this game: Smyly has a PERFECT GAME through 7.
BOOOOO
Peralta breaks it up with an infield hit. Smyly and Contreras both going for the ball collide with each other and Peralta gets a hit.
Gomes, not Contreras.
Smyly gets pulled after recording his 10th strikeout.
Orel on the SNLA broadcast said, "Nightmares, if that's the only hit of the game."
Luke Williams throwing soft toss gets Bellinger to popup.
Mookie fields a grounder at shortstop. 2 down.
1-2-3 inning for Luke Williams. 6 pitches! Move him to the bullpen!
2 walks in the 9th for the Dodgers. Maybe we can break up the shutout.
It's a one hitter (Peralta single).
Cubs win 13-0.
Hershiser was making excuses for Urias' shitty outing. something about it being an early game and shit like that. made me sick. these fools get 4 days off between starts. you better be ready to pitch even if the starting time is midnight.
damn. I was angry yesterday. ha
3-2 dodgers. top of 5th
Vargas extends the lead with a base hot RBI to score Martinez.
4-2 LA
Oh god, it’s Vesia.
Six straight balls from Vesia so far
Bellinger and Happ both steal, and of course Barnes can’t do shit
Wisdom pops to first, that’s huge.
Vesia escapes! Wow
Muncy!!
This Outman kid is awesome.
9-4 final
WIN
GAME FOUR
Betts SS .257
Freeman 1B .294
Muncy 3B .254
Martinez DH .250
Outman CF .314
Heyward RD .171
Peralta LF .227
Vargas 2B .211
Barnes C .034
Kershaw P
.034! You read that right: Barnes is 1-for-29, with one GIDP and 8 Ks (including 3 Ks yesterday in an 0-for-4 day).
Get well soon, Slappy!
Mookie bomb tied it up!!
2-2
Barnes got a hit! And struck out in his next at bat.
MUNCY CAN’T BE STOPPED!!!
Muncy AGAIN!
MARTINEZ!! BACK TO BACK!!
Rick Mondayi is very troubled by Jason Heyward’s lack of plate coverage. This is the second straight game he has gone nuts in that point.
Cubs organist playing “You’ve Got a Friend In Me” for a pitching visit is pretty funny.
Mookie with some 2 out insurance RBIs. Love it!
Barnes catcher interference is going to cost us the game
Mookie-Vargas-Freeman, game over! WIN!
a little scary there with Graterol but we got the win anyways
