Heyward grabs pine.
Won't be easy.

FYI, Justin Hancock, the guy that just hit 97 on the radar gun, is who the Cubs got from the Padres in the Matt Szczur trade.
Oh Justin Wilson...
He absolutely cannot pitch in high leverage situations. On another note, 1-for-15 with RISP is pathetic; how can a team not drive in people??

Huge start for Quintana.
Oh Justin Wilson...
Yeah it’s like he came to Chicago and forgot how to pitch.
In my opinion, this teams success is going to come down to if Q and Yu can perform like they both did in their past starts. Its one thing doing it against the Reds, but when the Dodgers come calling, they need to show they are better than their respective ERA's are right now.
Bad contracts/trades can and will doom even the most talented teams.
You've gotta feel pretty good sitting at 25-19 with how little we've gotten from Rizzo, Quintana and Darvish. I remain very bullish on this team.

The Dodgers?
Personally, I'm not worried about the Cubs missing the playoffs, but the Brewers are looking more and more like a real threat to win the division. Cards are too up and down.

It is still May... why are people looking at standings?
Chatwood needs to be replaced with a better pitcher.
Wow, that was a throw away game. Chatwood needs to figure out how to throw strikes. And will someone PLEASE get a hit with RISP. 0-for-10 tonight.
FIFY
I wouldn't go so far as to say he needs to be replaced, but the walks definitely need to be reined in.
