Sorry, folks, this is going to be another one where I pretty much punt on any kind of breakdown. The Cubs have dropped two straight to the Pirates, they’re facing a guy they just saw last week, and my son’s got a doubleheader this afternoon. Not a whole lot to talk about, unless you want to discuss how they’ve been mowed down by a pair of rookies who figure to be atop the NL Central’s pitching ranks for several years.
Shu014dta Imanaga has been a bright spot all season and he’s looking to keep his spotless record intact this afternoon against a team he hasn’t yet faced.
