9/11 (BOOOOOOO) Cubs (Arrieta) @ Astros (Fiers) 7:05 ESPN

[BigSlick]

oooh Len Kasper in the radio booth

[bukie]

I'm a little amused the Cubs managed to run it up on the Astros so fast that Correa's return is done after 1 PA and one touch on defense.

[TruffleShuffle]

did we get a distance on that Russell HR

 

according to gameday feed:

411ft for soler

396ft for russell

358ft for altuve

[Derwood]

Camera man made that Gattis fly ball look like a sure homer

[UMFan83]

 

Sham all star indeed

ESPN broadcast said 416 for Soler, didn't hear about the others

[David]

ohhh yesss this team is so damn blatantly good at baseball

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Rarely do games give you the opportunity to so thoroughly demonstrate "we're better than you at literally everything" like this.

[UMFan83]

Good work by jake. Thought it was going to be one of those 6 inning 108 pitch outings where we walks 4 but only gives up 1-2 runs but he's gotten it going over the last 3 innings, altuve bloop HR aside

Seriously. I think you could give some teams 1000 chances and they'd never play a game that looks as good as this one has in every aspect.

Yeah only 20-30 times this year for the Cubs

[stitchface]

Is there a time of possession stat? I would say the cubs are about 70 percent - 85 percent in first three innings.

[bcl412]

This has been the Cubs at their best and it's on Sunday Night Baseball. That's cool.

they've seriously done it in every facet of the game. when you say firing on all cylinders, this game is exactly that.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I'm imagining that all the infielders are hooting and hollering while these plays are happening, maybe have Kawasaki hopping in and out of the dugout like a hype man

[Schwarber Fan]

Game 3 playoff starter for sure

[Derwood]

And poof, he appears

[UMFan83]

Remember when it was jarring if Jake gave up a single run?

 

Not saying he's not good but it sucks that's he's only a top 10 pitcher in the league now
