05/29 Phillies (Velásquez) @ CUBS (Lackey) 1:20 CDT, WGN

Did Montero just hit a dong or have I had too much wine already?

[Sammy Sofa]

There are still a lot of things I hate about him, but I think I feel the most comfortable when Lackey's pitching. Arietta's obviously great, but has had some weird control issues at times. Lester's also been great, but there's always the chance of something hilariously embarrassing unfolding. Lackey just attacks the hitters, always goes deep into games, and he can throw over-hand to bases.

Too much wine.

[David]

right before that pitch i was thinking "the obp looks fine, just need some more slg"

Too much wine.

 

In that case I'll have a refill 8-)

when i read your first sentence, i thought you were nuts, but i actually totally agree with your reasoning until god mode comes back.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Best thing about Montero's Dong ia that he(or appeared to) Hit Velazquez's name on the board.

[David]

if shawon dunston hit a walkoff in one of those games, i actually remember that series against the phillies. that was my first season watching baseball.

[Fred Hornkohl]

OMG

 

I was coming here to post the exact damn thing. I saw that slash line and was like, "hmm. wonder what a HR would do to boost that SLG?"

 

next pitch *BOOM*

 

Also, I probably love Miggy more than most people, but I horsefeathering love how he quietly and subtly pimps the horsefeathers out of his HRs

I also love how he's apparently 14 months younger than me but looks 14 years older than me.

[weis21]

lol that strikeout

[BigSlick]

Best thing about miggy is how he runs to first base when he gets a walk like an excited little league player

[Aaron_Kennelly]

YES! DONGS!

[NOLA]

Big Z, part deux

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Zobrist is OK

[Ski]

ZOOOOOOOOB!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That ball carried out as if it were riding some powerful, invisible wave.

[CubInOK]

Zobrist is Ted Williams.

[ScrubMD]

I've noticed that Zobrist has been hitting well lately.

[Ski]

2016 fWAR:

Ben Zobrist - 2.9

Starlin Castro - 0.0

[UMFan83]

 

Damn, I thought both tweets would show. The first one talks about Starlin breaking up the no-no with a 2 run HR

[CaliforniaRaisin]

It's crazy how much power Zobrist can generate from that swing (even if that one only went 352').

[Gilby]

2016 fWAR:

Ben Zobrist - 2.9

Starlin Castro - 0.0

 

Nice, I might have had the most incorrect bold prediction in the bold prediction thread by saying Starlin would double Zobrist's WAR. Man this dude is impressive.
