[David]

did segura do anything before this series?

[chuckywang]

Looks like Hammel is picking up exactly where he left off last year.

[Cubswin11]

Jean Segura is not good at baseball, let's start having our pitchers execute accordingly

[KaiserCesar]

Hot damn, best looking DP I've seen all year.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Hey, a clean DP.

[raw]

After seeing Russell and Castro last year, Zobrist is really slow turning the DP.

[Agony and Ivy]

Robbie ray is shitty we better dong him

[David]

horsefeathers this park so much

[Cubswin11]

Ray seems to have some pretty good stuff

[Agony and Ivy]

WTP

[Cubswin11]

[expletive] this park so much

In fairness it would be 1-1 if Bryant's got out because Segura's was hit even better

[bcl412]

Only seen 21 pitches in 2 innings? Screw that

[KaiserCesar]

Hammel's slider is looking nice. I'm afraid someone is going to belt one of those over-the-plate fastballs 450 feet each at-bat, though.

[David]

Hammel looked nasty that inning

[Cubswin11]

Hammel's 2-seamer/sinker doesn't seem to have any vertical drop at all and is just moving horizontally, the slider/cutter tho has been great. Edited April 9, 2016 by Cubswin11

Part of me wonders if Joe was trolling everyone hitting the pitcher 8th, so now every other team does it and the Cubs don't.

That is kinda funny. I also find it fascinating that now the Cubs are one of the few teams that doesn't shift, when that's what they (and Maddon with the Rays) were all about a few years ago.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Some nice ABs from Addi this year.

[Omar]

It's nice to have a patient shortstop.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

that is a got dang balk

[bukie]

Yes. Take the pitches. Take all the pitches.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

safe

[Gilby]

I didn't mind these DBack's uniforms at first, but the more I look at them, the more ridiculous they become.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Over/under on total 20-walk games this year?

[soccer10k]

Ray is about to experience a world of pain.
