Rizzo.

Man, these young relievers are pretty nasty when they can find the strike zone.

 

And Rizzo!

[CubInOK]

So right before Lake's HR, Rick whateverhisnameis starts talking about the Cubs having an identity crisis and not knowing if they want fly ball or ground ball hitters, then says they're a bunch of guys who strike out a bunch and aren't really HR hitters and on the next pitch. Lake proceeds to hit it out. Glorious.

I think it was Preston Wilson was talking about Randy Choate being the Cardinals lefty specialist, then Rizzo hits that HR.

[Schwarber Fan]

That was beautiful

[Bryants Disco Ball]

You are a beautiful man, Anthony Rizzo.

[Cubfanintheknow]

How dare he hit the first pitch he sees for a home run! Doesn't he know the rules?

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm calling the Lake cycle

[Fro]

That was beautiful

 

It was hilarious on the FS1 broadcast since those guys are acting like Cardinals homers. The color commentator was like "Choate's nasty, any team would want him as a left-handed specialist. He's got a delivery where the ball comes from behind his back and left-handers can't possibly pick it up" (Rizzo crushes HR off the 1st pitch).

rizzo's numbers are nice now, but just wait till we get him a platoon partner and he doesn't have to face righties anymore

I'm glad I'm watching Comcast.

Sounds like a job for Vitters.

Nvm, thought Lake was before Welington.

Vitters is done in my book, 606 OPS so far this year in Iowa, 25 K's in 85 AB's

He needs to start blaming it on an injury soon to make sure he gets a free pass.

It's so much easier to watch when your closer throws strikes. Giving up two quick hits, I didn't even have time to get nervous like I would've been with two walks.
