That single was #78 for Shields

This is just fun. I don't even care what happens today (thats a lie, I do). It's so great having a youthful talented team to watch. Really feels like this is the beginning of something awesome for a long time.

 

The best part is that there is even more prospects waiting in the minors.

This inning reminds me of what the Astros used to do to the Cubs when I was growing up: single em to death.

[ctcf]

HECK YES SOLER

Why is Rizzo's walk-up song Good Vibrations?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I think that deflection put it out of reach of the 2b, otherwise he might have had it.

[Careless]

Wow, you have to hit that hard to hit the pitcher in the glove and still get past the MIFs

This is fun, I'm having fun

[Clem Fandango]

Even Soler's grounders up the middle are furious

[ctcf]

RIZZO

[Careless]

RISP!

[Clem Fandango]

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[KatJ]

TV folks: what's going on? Is Shields's stuff not moving anymore?

jd is good at his job

I like this whole "get hits, score runs" idea. Why didn't we think of this before?

[Guest]

I think Shields is particularly amped to get Bryant, seems like he's got so much more movement for his PA

[jersey cubs fan]

TV folks: what's going on? Is Shields's stuff not moving anymore?

seems to be moving quite a bit still

[Careless]

Sell! Sell! Sell!

[KatJ]

This is fun, I'm having fun
