Do the Marlins hate Chen or something?

Just tuned in.  Cubs leading 7-0, they have sent 8 men up and collectively hit for the cycle in the current inning.

Thanks, thought we were losing.

Rizzo gets his first double of the season to drive in his 4th on the day. Took 103 at-bats to get that double.

Quintana needed 108 pitches to get through six.

Maddon obviously wanted to squeeze every out he could from him.

Rizzo doubles again to drive in his 5th. Goes 102 at-bats without a double, then consecutive doubles.

Contreras doubles in a run to RF. Think he's about to go on a run as well.

If I were Hancock, I would fake the flu on a day like this.

On sort of a technicality, JD's trivia question of who were the four Cubs to win an MVP and later go on to manage should include Ernie Banks.  Mr. Cub took over for an ejected Whitey Lockman in 1973.

It was amazing that Len took so long to name the last one.

Justin Hancock also gets his first major-league at-bat and is called out on strikes on a pitch well out of the strike zone.
