8/28 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Reds (Axelrod) 11:35AM WGN

I knew there was no way the LF was catching that ball.

[NOLA]

Damn, Soler makes great contact. The ball just carries off his bat.

 

His stance is interesting with that front foot so far back behind him. I've been trying to find a comp but not seeing anything yet.

[UMFan83]

Soler is pretty good at this baseball thing.

[Guest]

damn i thought he had that at first

Rich man's Babe Ruth.

First thing I thought of was vintage Derrek Lee.

10 pitch K for Alcantara. Nice seeing the Cubs make the pitcher work. Already at 56 pitches in the 2nd.

[Guest]

think that was ball 4 lol

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

The 3-1 pitch was a ball about 90% of the time.

the 10% being "i'm gonna bail this pitcher out of the embarrassment of walking a guy to get to the pitcher and then walking the pitcher"

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

yep, or the typical 3-0 strike

[Guest]

this game is stupid

[Sammys Boombox]

Anybody else getting a message from MLB.tv saying this game is not available to you?

 

I was able to load it, but it's on WGN, so I actually turned on the tube.

 

Coghlan with a nice at bat to start the game...

 

I'm at work, so no TV. I have MLBEI with DirecTV which comes with MLB.tv. After an hour on the phone with MLB.tv and DirecTV both pointing fingers at each other and neither wanting to initiate a conference call I conferenced them together and after doing that they both said, "We don't know why it says you're not subscribed anymore. We don't see that here. It should be working."

 

Yippee.

That's what I was thinking. I didn't realize Soler had his front leg so open to start his stance until last night.

Might as well have Todd Hundley back there throwing

[Agony and Ivy]

That should be enough for vaunted ace Dylan Axelrod.

Usually if you can't hit, you have to be really good on defense as a catcher. So John, I gotta say

I hadn't seen him bat since probably 2013 ST. He definitely was not open like that then.

Not that it helps your situation, but I did try to log back in after you said you were having trouble, and I got right back in again.

[expletive] Bad Jake, be the good Jake!

[Guest]

if he never played us he'd probably be hitting .200/.220/.300 or osmething

Pretty much the perfect response.
