Re: cubs at reds 7/7-7/10
Kyle Hendricks was pulled early(just 2 innings of work) from his start today and was reportedly seen getting hugs and congratulations from teammates. People are suspecting he got called up, if so we will probably see him debut in this series.

Re: cubs at reds 7/7-7/10
wada looks like he had a good start, reds just chipped away at us and we stopped scoring
rizzo is second in the nl in homers now

Looks like Alcantara got called up (though it is temporary):

Terrible way to lose the 2nd game, but Wada did all you could hope for.
Excited Beeler gets start #2, Hendricks his first, and the arrival of Alcantra (sort of).

Re: cubs at reds 7/7-7/10
hopefully we win tomorrow, it would be rough to get swept in a 5 game series

not a great start for hendricks but it looks like he settled down after the first - alcantara is having a nice game though

Great day. Cub's win and avoid a 5 game sweep, Alcantara has a fantastic day and Rizzo is an all star. Also looks like the Cubs are keeping Alcantara up for a bit.

Thrilled to see a game like that from Alcantra.
Hendricks did decent after the rough start.
Nice not getting swept in 5.

Re: cubs at reds 7/7-7/10
rizzo won? nice, good for him
i'll chalk it up to those homers he hit in the last week - i believe chicks still dig the long ball

Re: cubs at reds 7/7-7/10
Nice to see Alcantara gets to stay up. Hopefully, he can start to show the progress we are looking for from the prospects we have coming up. If Alcantara shows he's going to be solid then next year when Baez and Bryant come up we might have 5 legitimate hitters on the team. Assuming they don't trade a few prospects for a proven bat like Giancarlo Stanton as their first big slash.
