Not the prettiest first AB.

[Cubswin11]

Great, we got a left-handed Javy

I'll go with 'fatter Happ'

[Cubswin11]

Heyward's ability to hit rockets to LF that continually are caught amazes me

[Aaron_Kennelly]

horsefeathers zone.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

horsefeathers swing call, too.

[David]

that was hilarious

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Zobrist's pitch recognition is so incredibly good

 

What percentage of hitters swing at that 3-2 curve, 80? 90?

[Bote McBoteface]

In "things that may help explain our early season struggles", our schedule from the middle of this month through the end of the season is laughably favorable. We might not lose a game between 8/14 and 9/3.

yeah but does he have a body like Javy's?

schwarbs comes out to bombtrack though

[Derwood]

This Godley kid is pretty good for someone I'd never heard of before today

We traded him to AZ

[Omar]

and drafted him

[17 Seconds]

and the guy we traded him for hit a grand slam in the nlcs

[Derwood]

Sure, all those things MIGHT be true, in a way

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Godley reminds me a lot of a current Cubs pitcher, any guesses who?

I've been thinking about this for 2 innings. No clue.

Not current but his delivery kick reminds me of Mark Prior kind of.

Koji. Basically he throws 2 pitches in the same tunnel and you have to pick whether or not it's going to break. Godley throws as many curves as fastballs so it's literally a coin flip unless he spins it poorly or he's having trouble locating.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

there goes Russell and his gimpy arm again

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Dumb.

[Agony and Ivy]

Addy's throws are back to being mediocre but Rizzo should dig that.
