7/1/18 Twins (Lynn) @ CLUBES (Lester) 1:20 CST WGN

It's a little odd - I feel every time Javy puts the ball in play it's a small victory - yet, I do also feel a little sad when its only a single.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Clowning them with our base running.

[Tim]

lol - this team runs the bases so well.

 

Except Rizzo, of course

[Sammy Sofa]

He's like Bambi learning how to walk.

Do the Reds have like 10 grand slams in the past 30 games or something???

 

I think they said 9th slam of the year.

 

According to baseball almanac, 14 is the record for a season by the 2006 Indians and 2000 A's. NL Record is 12 by the 1997 Braves and 2000 Cards.

Wonder what the record for consecutive double digit game is

[chopsx9]

Javy now tied for the lead in RBI and Almora tied for 1st in batting!!!

Catch the horsefeathering ball Rizzo

[BigSlick]

Nice, efficient inning from Jon. He can actually get through six pretty easily now.

well, damn.

 

i dont mind if Jon only goes 5 innings and we let like, rosario pitch 3 innings or whatever. who cares

Farrell, Rosario and Maples should hopefully be able to finish it off

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Yeah, we aren't doing scoring, either. Seal Boy could finish it off on the mound.

[BigSlick]

these twins players are not real people. what is a 'Jake Cave'? there is no such person named "Mitch Garver'. these are the names of created video game characters in MLB games

[Sammy Sofa]

Sham Lester returns.

[Cubswin11]

Thanks for catching that ball, Rizzo. Shouldn’t even be in this inning anymore

[soccer10k]

Wonder what the record for consecutive double digit game is

 

6, by the 1929 New York Giants. 5 teams have done it in 5 straight games.

[Tim]

Dong

[Sammy Sofa]

Somebody arrest that man for murder.

[BigSlick]

god damn this game rules

 

you are punished for your impudence with more dongs. enjoy the dongs

[Cubswin11]

Happ’s been really good and doing some very promising things for a few weeks now. Probably a good thing we didn’t give up on a 22/23 year old top 10 pick a month in to the season.

[BigSlick]

his K% still hovers around 40%, which is a cause of concern. I'd be thrilled if he could continue to be a productive player with a K rate that high, but i'm skeptical. i'm fully confident he can bring it down though.

 

I just checked and his BABIP is literally .400, lmaoooo

We need to trade for Astudillo.

We need to trade for Astudillo.

He’s had it closer to 30% for a good chunk of time now and he still takes his walks and his contact rates are improving and when he is making contact it’s usually hard contact.

K rate is coming around.
