7/23 Cubs (Farrell) vs Diamondbacks (Corbin) 7:05 NBCSC/ESPN

[Aaron_Kennelly]

The SuperCubs didn't win the World Series last year, so that meant changes.

 

 

At first, the Cubs hitters didn't buy into Chili Ball and they languished in second place for months.

 

 

Theo bought in, though. He even incorporated Chili Ball into his neurological tests for draft prospects.

 

 

Before long, the Cubs bought in and the bats got sizzling hot before the All-Star Break.

One guy who didn't buy into Chili Ball is Kyle Schwarber.

 

 

Schwarber spent his All-Star Break hitting majestic dongs for all of his admirers. This left many in awe of what the big fella could do with his bat.

 

 

The rest of us were left wanting more Chili Ball.

 

 

Schwarber flaunted his anti-Chili Ball ways in the series finale against the Cardinals, smacking a go-ahead home run through the teeth of a vicious wind. He could learn a thing or two from our catcher, who drove in two runs with a couple of well-placed singles.

 

 

The Diamondbacks are in town for a four-game set. And they are about to receive the full wrath of Chili Ball. They aren't prepared for what Chili's been cooking up.

Obligatory, about the Cardinals:

Joe putting the idea that the lineup order doesn't matter to the test.

No Schwarber against the snakes? Guess Joe doesn't celebrate whacking day

 

 

Hopefully Juliana Zobrist sings the national anthem

This is a big of a stretch but I wanted to get one of my favorite scenes in there
