Fulmer gave up 5 runs in the 9th, Sox tie the Cubs 6-6. 

Taillon finishes his first Cubs camp with zero walks.

No excuses, but Fulmer was looking down at the mound after every pitch the entire half inning. It appeared the landing area was not to his liking.

Has Ross named the closer?

Outside of the bomb, he gave up three seeing-eye grounders.

No worries.

Watched part of today's game. Smiley got blasted by White Sox minor leaguers.  But fun seeing a bunch of the Cubs farm guys. 

Bailey Horn pitched two shutout innings. He's kind of wild delivery, couldn't locate his fastball very well.  But man, did he have a nice curve.  Big curve, used against both righties and lefties, and has a big sweeper.  For his two innings, he almost seemed to locate his big curve better than his fastball.  "If he could someday learn to command his fastball...." applies to a million prospects.  But if he was a little better with his, he could for sure be a big-league lefty.  His stuff looks like it would be pretty deadly against lefties.

What is the weather going to be in Wrigley today.  Any problems on getting the game in?

Stroman carving up the Brew Crew early, with 4K's through 2, and a nifty defensive play to save a hit. Basically a one-man defensive show so far today.

As Gomes chases the ball after his 2nd passed ball of the game, I imagine Willson is somewhere lighting a cigar and saying “good thing they prioritized defense”…

Nice 4-6-3 to get out of a bases loaded 1 out jam…

Funny inning.  Bad play and error by Hoerner.  Pitch-clock violation.  Gomes 2nd passed ball and almost had another one.  Two walks.  But Stroman gets out, nice DP by Hoerner/Swanson.

Wow, what a fun 3rd inning!

Someday I'm going to look back at the long and storied career of Miles Mastrobuoni, and remember this inning for him scoring his first run as a Cub.   Swanson and Mancini each with their first hits and RBI's of their Cub careers. 

Fun fun.
