    Talk about the series here. Please no PBP in this thread. Unless otherwise noted all games are on CSN-H (for about 40% I guess).


    6-21 Dallas Keuchel, LHP vs. Matt Garza, RHP 1:20

    6-22 Bud Norris, RHP vs. Travis Wood, LHP 3:05

    6-23 Jordan Lyles, RHP vs. Jeff Samardzija, RHP 1:20

    Saturday's game will be on WGN.

    Just announced that the Astros and Cubs broadcast teams will share an inning together on Sunday. All 4 guys will be on CSN Houston/Chicago for 1 inning. Our team will do one half, they'll do the other. We'll get to hear JD!

    Can ClutchFans start a fund to pay for Matty D to take running or speed lessons? Wouldn't describe him as fleet of foot.

    Excluding one appearance against the Rangers where Cisnero gave up 6 runs, he has an ERA of 0.64. I really like seeing him getting the nod in a tie 7th inning.

    Ho hum, another day another win.

    Glad to see Cisnero is moving up the in reliever pecking order. Although he made it interesting.

    Routine double play ball should have cleaned up the inning with no runs.

    Not to mention if we had a 2B with more range 2 of those singles don't get through, and poor throws abound from the outfielders.

    Bill & JD are reunited! Granted it's only for one inning, but the "merge" of CSN Chicago and CSN Houston for a 4-man booth is pretty cool. Sounds like the good old days.

    I can't believe the Astros let Jimmy D walk. Disappointing. Yes it's been covered, but still disappointing.

    On a similar note, I'm not all that crazy about the radio broadcast either.

    I don't post in this forum often, but read every post. Thank you all for delivering.
