08/28 CUBS (Hammel) @ Los Angeles (Kershaw) 9:10 CDT, WGN TV

How do Rizzo homer swings look so good when his whiff on inside pitch swings look so bad?

[Schwarber Fan]

Wow, what a blast!

[BrockLanders]

Rizzo's improvement against lefties is simply staggering. What a beast.

[Sosa21MVP]

Rizzowned.

[Guest]

JD is on top of his game tonight

Kershaw's face was great

[Careless]

WGN has a nice Cubs ad or two

Marlon Byrd discovering power at age 35 is interesting.

There's a fangraphs article somewhere that shows he basically started completely selling out for power after leaving the Cubs, for good(HR) and bad(huge jump in Ks, drop in AVG).

He swung about 5 minutes late on strike 3 in his first AB and it wasn't even an inside pitch. Then he does that. Crazy.

I know, weird dude. If only he could put the homer swing on every pitch

Then he tested positive for PEDs, right?

Yeah, I think I read that article. I don't think he's cheating, just surprised more guys don't go that route.

You forgot the "PEDs don't matter" narrative

Yeah, a little over 3 years ago and I'm betting he's been tested a dozen times since and hasn't gotten popped again. He's just taking the Javy Baez approach these days.

Do you understand what the odds of getting caught when you're tested like 4 times a year are? How lucky we are to have that hilarious Serena Williams panic room story?

[UMFan83]

Denofria sucks so hard. Why is he hitting 2nd?

[UMFan83]

We need to bring back steroids

[UMFan83]

Gah come on Hammel get out of this

[UMFan83]

[expletive] hell

 

Seriously that is annoying as hell. Can't make those mistakes with Kershaw dealing

[Sammys Boombox]

And that was literally the first pitch I watched tonight. Yay.

[UMFan83]

What the hell are you doing Montero?

[Sammys Boombox]

And the second
