4/12 Angels (Skaggs) @ Cubs (King Cole) 1:20 CDT TV: NBCSCH

I mistakenly said Kyle Schwarber is basically Dave Kingman now.

 

He's actually at Rob Deer level.

Am I the only one who hears a swarm of locusts during these NBC broadcasts?

 

 

No, you're not, and it's annoying.

Skaggs threw an 86 ch and followed it up with an 87 fb lol

[chopsx9]

Gamecast says 472 feet. Can that be right? Would clear the RF scoreboard you'd think.

There's no way that was 472 ft.

Couple days ago I tune into the Jays Red Sox game on the radio. Jay's Rowdy Tollez (sp?) had hit a HR earlier that apparently Statcast was suggesting went 505 ft making it the longest HR in Fenway history - 3ft longer than one Ted Williams hit back in the '40s. So the Jays announcers are exuberant. While I'm listening JD Martinez hits a bomb that hits the wall at the 420 marker. So the press box starts yelling over to the Jays announcers that Statcast had the one at 1,300 feet. In any case I noticed in the boxscore the next day that Tollez's was listed at like 430 feet.

I forgot this game was happening.

good grief, what a terrible high strike

[Sammy Sofa]

Boy, it kinda sucks to pass on the FA they did and then have Bryant, Rizzo and Baez all decide to start huffing garbage fumes at the same time. I'm sure it's sustainable to have an offense anchored by Jason Heyward.

Hey Contreras is doing well too....for now until the grind of catching almost every day for the next 4-6 weeks wears him down

Fortunately they have a maybe decent backup to help handle the lo-OHHHHHHHHHHHH, RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT.

That Willson Contreras is one hot piece of ACE.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Ooh I got the willies

[Schwarber Fan]

Contreras hasn’t looked this good since pre-2017 injury.

[Andy]

As bad as I feel about Bryant right now, I feel that good about Contreras.

Rizzo has already smashed the biggest dong of the day, you monster.

Zapgoonie's dumb tiny pic in Gameday always has me wishing Harris Wittels has been reincarnated as a really lame baseball player:

It's the one good thing he'll do for two weeks!

Nobody saw it. During everyone’s piss break aka Bryant’s at bat.

It’s the dongfest you’ve been dreaming of and yet you continue to complain. You really are the worst

I'm sorry; was one of those a Bryant dong?

[Sammy Sofa]

2 great starts in a row?!? Zounds.

[UMFan83]

14 IP, 1 ER for the Cubs starters the last 2 games. Not bad!
