Here it is. The day before the Blogathon begins. It’s always tricky, because I try to stay very chill so I can go to sleep at a good hour and get max sleep before having to go for 40 hours straight. But inevitably, I get too amped up/nervous to go to bed early, and then when I do, I sleep fitfully. Thankfully at least I got a good night sleep *last* night, so there won’t be a stacking effect.
This is easily the most consecutive runs scored via HR by a Cubs team in the expansion era. (1961) At 19 right now. Next most was 14 back in 1996

Craig Counsell: "The walks to Happ killed us today. No question about it. We did a poor job on him."

After giving up three runs in the 1st inning, LHP Cole Hamels works two scoreless frames for the @IowaCubs to finish up his MLB Rehab appearance today.
Final line: 3 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 4 K, 3 BB.
59 pitches, 36 strikes. Looked sharp in final two innings. Got a bit squeezed as well.

Dixon Machado. Man. Two homers today, this one a 2-R blast to tie things up at 8-8 here in the 6th.
15 homers for Machado this year w/@IowaCubs, 5 HR in his last 11 games.

On this date in 2014, @manbearwolf earned the highest honor a position player pitching can achieve.
