well, now i have goosebumps

in fairness it could be the mono, though

[Liam Neeson]

Hahaahahaha the camera man on Russell's pop up...

[soccer10k]

Nice fake out by the camera guy on Russell's fly out.

[Tim]

I think that every time Willson gets hit, he should hit a home run later in the game. He's on track so far.

 

I wonder if pitchers would stop working him inside.

[Tim]

Have I mentioned that Willson might just be my favorite Cub already? Love that kid.

[Tim]

That was almost bad.

 

Anyone following along on gameday needing descriptions of things?

Im a Javy guy.. but Willson, KB, and Rizz are super fun as well.. plus most the team.

[wvcbxl]

That was almost bad.

 

Watching on MLB.TV; that looked almost bad indeed.

 

Good job by Kyle, so far.

[WoodRules]

That was almost bad.

 

Anyone following along on gameday needing descriptions of things?

 

 

Yes please!

[raw]

This team is really good against the Reds.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Playing the Reds > anything

[Tim]

That was almost bad.

Yes please!

Russell ran out after the popup and ran into Bryant while making the catch. He held on and they were both okay.

 

And then there was this gem from JD:

 

The camera shows a guy proposing to a woman and Len gives a bit of play by play on it. JD chimes in with, "so much for Independence Day"

Imagine being a Reds fan and knowing this is your future.

[Tim]

Imagine being a Reds fan and knowing this is your future.

In particular, the amount by which Hendricks is outpitching Cody Reed is fun.

[raw]

Hendricks is clearly the Cubs best pitcher now and forever.

[squally1313]

Anyone following along on gameday needing descriptions of things?

 

Mostly following along here and on Twitter, so descriptions of the key plays (which is probably an oxymoron in a 6-0 game, or really any game against the reds) would be much appreciated.

[Tim]

I'll try to describe anything noteworthy as we go along. My feed usually runs a bit late.

[Tim]

Nice job, Kyle

[raw]

Hendricks is clearly the Cubs best pitcher now and forever.

 

Even mystifying Reds' stud, Billy Hamilton.

[Tim]

Other than the line drive to Votto to begin the inning, just a bunch of ground balls there. The one from Duvall was hit hard, everything else was pretty soft contact. That actually made it harder to turn the DP attempts.

[Tim]

Love Javy going to right field.

[Tim]

Reed is really afraid of Bryant now.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Willson Grand Dong, please.
