Braves @ Cubs: Harrell vs Hammel (Game 85)
I'm afraid of everyone. ATL (28-57): RHP Lucas Harrell (1-0, 1.50) CHC (52-32): RHP Jason Hammel (7-5, 3.45) First pitch: 7:05pmCST Hammel sucked ass in New York on Friday (4 IP, 10 ER, 3 K, 2 BB)—and not in a good way. The Braves are 39-108 against him (.361). Freeman is 5-11 with 2 HR. Harrell won in Miami his last time out (6 IP, 1 ER, 5 K, 1 BB). This is his second start after his stint with the LG Twins in Korea, where he posted a 4.93 ERA in 171 innings. The Cubs are 5-22 (.227) against him. Rizzo is 2-7. The game is a make-up from April 30th. It would have been better to play it then, to say the least. After the getaway night game (?), it’s back on the road to Pittsburgh for a weekend series, with Arrieta (12-3, 2.33) versus Liriano (5-8, 5.34) tomorrow at 6:05pmCST. Go Cubs!
