Even Thom Brenneman was impressed by that shot.

[UMFan83]

Schwarber and Javy have to be in the top 10 of prettiest dongers

[woodchip2153]

I'm slow, but...

 

wow

[Brian]

there was an article about the longest home runs for each team in the statcast era, and I thought that the 481 on that one had to be it for the Cubs but KB's shot off the LF scoreboard was projected at 495

[UMFan83]

Holy horsefeathers 481 feet!

No need to speak ill of the dead.

That was one of the ugliest (non injured) Zobrist ABs I think I’ve ever seen him have in his time here

[Brian]

all these extra pitches are annoying because he should have been K'd

[itisallpartoftheplan]

This AB should be long over

[Schwarber Fan]

All these stupid extra pitches to Ervin.

[Brian]

sit down

[UMFan83]

Going back to this backup catcher discussion, theres gotta be like a 95% chance the Cubs trade for a backup catcher right? Especially with rosters expanding, it’s a no brainer to grab a Rivera type for a bag of balls.

 

I mean last year they added 2 more catchers to go with Contreras and Caratini

It would seem prerty crazy for them not to. But it’s also pretty ridiculous that the initial plan was to have only Caritini and Gimenez as the backup options all year

[Brian]

get it together Cole

[Brian]

does every team play somebody behind 2nd base for every Cub hitter?

Imagine if there was statcast when Glenallen Hill parked one on the rooftop. They estimated 490 feet during the broadcast on it

[Brian]

please just go away Hamilton

[Schwarber Fan]

Murphy...

[TMan92]

Can somebody get Hamilton already

[NotSoSober]

horsefeathers off, Hamilton .Was that a balk? I have no idea

[Brian]

Murphy...

 

I mean, maybe Javy gets that, but I really doubt most 2B get there
