This is gonna be the first season in a while that I'm going to be left wanting more baseball immediately.

Definitely. I'm surprised at my interest level in these games beyond just watching for Baez and Soler ABs.

[Guest]

wow that was a nice pitch

[Castros trade value]

I am almost to the point where I was in 2008 in that I now expect the Cubs to win. The big difference is that now I can expect it for a decade.

as much as i want to say you're crazy, i definitely have a lot more confidence in them winning on a day to day basis when i watch games than i have for years now.

 

now just get rizzo in the lineup jerks

Soler is 2nd #Cubs player to do so in last 100 yrs, joining Gabby Hartnett who also had extra-base hit in 1st 5 Gs in April 1925.

 

Mark Gonzales ‏@MDGonzales 6m

Last player to achieve this was Middlebrooks of Boston in 2012. Last NL player Slaughter in 1938. Last Cubs player - Hartnett in 1925.

Oh sweet, we have a series where we can use the DH soon. Hopefully that means Soler can play 5 or 6 games in a row.

[treebird]

i am excited for next year when we are trying to win instead of just get people at bats and we don't have to let the guy with the .210 obp hit second.

Might have to use it for old man Rizzo.

what if rizzo comes back five days from now and his face is plainly regular size now and it turns out this whole back thing was really a cover for a face expansion operation

I hear ya. Almost there being the key word. Depending on what we add in the off season pitching wise will determine if I'm definitely there.

Totally worth it.

Baez is pressing. The fact Soler has come up and lit everyone up has to make Javy want to do that much more.

[NOLA]

It sure seems like both JD and Len are getting little subtle digs at Castro the last few days. JD got a "he took a moment to admire it" shot in there just now.

[Guest]

lmao

 

hey, pitch around this guy, it's labor day

[ScrubMD]

I think in that instance it was a neutral comment since Castro did stand there for awhile and JD included the fact that he took off afterward. You could see the moment where Castro realized what he was doing.

[Guest]

turner looks gud

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I do not like the Jaxonian vibe that Turner is giving off in his first 2 starts thus far

 

Same.

To be fair, that little pause before running on a single was kind of peculiar. I suppose it was probably because he was off balance after the swing, but I have noticed him doing that with some frequency. Having said that, it bothers me more that I know J.D. is gonna say something about it afterward than the act itself does.

[Guest]

omg greatest ever

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Soler just gives zero effs about MLB pitching.

[Gilby]

Oh God Oh God Oh God
