What is the story about?

Well, there’s more baseball today, I guess. If you’re into that sort of thing. The San Francisco Giants have given us no reason to watch them lately, both with their play and their bigoted messaging. For some people, that’s reason enough to stop watching; for others, they need the respite that baseball provides, even when it’s baseball causing the pain.

There’s no right way to fan. If what you’re deciding to do with the day is get some joy out of baseball by watching the Giants face the Chicago Cubs,

then welcome. Come talk about the game with us!

Logan Webb takes the mound for the Giants as he tries to build on his momentum. The two-time All-Star has made 11 starts this year, and is 3-4 with a 3.88 ERA, a 3.18 FIP, and 58 strikeouts to 19 walks in 67.1 innings. After a brutal start to the year, Webb has been lights out lately: in his last two starts, he’s allowed just one run in 15 innings.

The Cubs are using an opener, lefty Ryan Rolison. The 28-year old has made 20 appearances this year (this is his first start), and is 5-1 with a 2.25 ERA, a 4.23 FIP, and 24 strikeouts to 12 walks in 24 innings. The bulk innings are expected to go to right-hander Colin Rea, who is 5-4 with a 5.19 ERA, a 4.86 FIP, and 54 strikeouts against 25 walks in 69.1 innings.

Enjoy the game, everyone. Or at least, enjoy your Sunday.
