ah yes we haven't had a good fake rally in a while

With Mr. Clutch himself coming up, what could go wrong

[Jaxbro]

C’mon let the Blumpkin pitch to KB

[Schwarber Fan]

F Iglesias. Bryant's hitting a bomb here.

[Jaxbro]

I mean Harper took him deep yesterday KB

[Cubswin11]

KB has been such a professional hitter to start the year, somehow it seems like he’s taking it up another level

[squally1313]

You could feel the strike zone shrink every time Bryant sat there and spat on those pitchers. What a hitter.

[David]

damn it couldn't that hit him

[OleMissCub]

Shoulda taken one for the team there, Rizz

[Schwarber Fan]

Is this a good time to mention tomorrow's game is probably rained out?

[r_mack]

7-51 RISP

Rain out the next week if this is the alternative

[UMFan83]

Damn. Well the dodgers got shut out twice in a row and then went off so maybe that is the Cubs strategy. Still think we score in the 9th though

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

[UMFan83]

damn it couldn't that hit him

 

Looked like it was going for his knee, I don’t blame him for getting out of the way

[Irrelevant Dude]

7-51 RISP

Can't be all that much better without RISP.

SCORE SOME horsefeathering RUNS!!!!!!

[Jaxbro]

I’ve missed the good ol fake rally. Got it out of the way early to avoid any drama in the ninth. Bold strategy

[We Got The Whole 9]

That failed toss into the stands is a good representation of our first 5 games

[Cubswin11]

Rogers trying to push this K total narrative for some stupid reason. They’re 14th in the league right now in K rate and were 11th last year. This is a stupid non-story if not for that stupid extra innings game.

Eventually, when doesn't this become a narrative? The offense got embarrassed in the playoffs last year and couldn't situational hit all season.

i was sure that was gonna drop

 

as annoying as this soon to be 2-3 start is, russell looks great, heyward looks not completely useless, zobrist looks pretty good, the bullpen has been great (and wilson has already done more than he did all last year), and schwarber looks v good at the plate

If you're too dumb to realize they've played a full extra game already through 5 games you don't deserve an answer.

Watched it right in your wheelhouse, Kyle
