6/8 - Pirates (Kuhl) at Cubs (Montgomery) 1:20 CDT NBCSC & MLBN

[Agony and Ivy]

JD sounds like he's on death's doorstep.

 

Is that actually JD I thought some one was filling in for him or something.

 

Len said it was him he's just powering through it because he feels fine or something.

[Sammy Sofa]

Slap Leadofferman

[Banedon]

Yeah JD sounded really bad yesterday too. I'd rather he just had someone fill in tbh.

Len said it was. I was sure that was someone different. Although now that I think about it they'd probably stick Glanville in there if JD was out.

 

And JD, as a man of the people, refuses to let that happen to us.

[Agony and Ivy]

Sorry Bryce, we have Jason now.

[BigSlick]

Jason Heyward lives

[Liam Neeson]

I want proof of life that this is actually JD

[BigSlick]

If Heyward can be the Jason Heyward of 2015 and earlier, this offense is scary good

[Sammy Sofa]

Somehow!

[Andy]

Heyward really looked good that AB even before the double. Fouled two pitches straight back.

[ConstableRabbit]

Man, love the black shoes and stirrups.

[BigSlick]

Zobi! All good things so far

[Sammy Sofa]

Joe's finally stumbled across the Ark of the Covenant lineup.

[BigSlick]

Take the lead and don’t look back you beautiful cubbies

[Banedon]

The first pitch to Rizzo was the first ball that Kuhl had thrown.

[ConstableRabbit]

Really needed Heyward to railroad Cervelli there.

[Sammy Sofa]

Baez coming to the plate filled with great vengeance and furious anger.

[ConstableRabbit]

I thought that was gone off the bat

[Agony and Ivy]

If Heyward can be the Jason Heyward of 2015 and earlier, this offense is scary good

 

This offense is already scary good and will be scary good even if they sit Heyward for Happ.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

JD sort of sounds like the late, great Harry Kalas, who voiced the highlights for Inside the NFL back in the day.

[Banedon]

82mph knuckle curve on that strike 2 to baez per gameday.

 

EDIT: And and 84mph knuckle curve to finish him off.

[BigSlick]

If Heyward can be the Jason Heyward of 2015 and earlier, this offense is scary good

 

This offense is already scary good and will be scary good even if they sit Heyward for Happ.

Oh no doubt about it, it’s just none of us have counted on his bat for the past two years and it would be another addition to a murderers row

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I know pitchers can't be perfect, but I still don't know why they just don't throw pitches outside and into the ground on Baez every single time.

[BigSlick]

I know pitchers can't be perfect, but I still don't know why they just don't throw pitches outside and into the ground on Baez every single time.

I would literally never throw him a strike until he proves he would prefer a walk to a swinging strike out

[Banedon]

Oh good. This is the part of the game thread where we bash the guy leading the team in just about every major offensive category.
