Sooo cool but winds blowing out 20-30mph to RF? Interesting.

Yeah I can't remember a day this chilly with winds out that strong.

 

This game on paper has the makings of an absolute drubbing. But these types of games make me the most nervous. It seems like they always end up going the exact opposite of how they're teed up. Like WS Game 3 where Josh Tomlin blanked the Cubs 1-0 with the wind howling out.

Baseball can be so slow you can have it in the background and still get your work done, and not really miss out on much.

Completely agreed. Except when I have 2 hours of back to back customer calls where I'm on video and I'm doing 90% of the talking like I have to tomorrow in the middle of the Cubs game ugh.

Blame the dog barking when you have to mute suddenly.

What did we do to deserve these announcers?

If things go poorly I might have to explain that I have Tourrette's

Nice start Kyle, Dickerson's was hit hard but right into the wind

[Tim]

Kyle looked like he was missing his spots a bit in the first. He left several right over the heart of the plate. Hopefully he dials it in as he goes.

Dickerson should have been out on strikes, anyway.

[UMFan83]

Jeez, Aguilar's hit had a .990 xBA

[UMFan83]

Ugh, I think Happ and KB both started at 3-0 (KBs might have been 3-1). Sucks to go 1-2-3 with those ABs

Both were 3-0.

 

I didn't know that Happ's slump coincided with him dealing with a knee injury. Hope he's getting better.

listening to podcasts with the tv just off the left and behind computer monitor is far better

[UMFan83]

Hendricks walks so few that its literally jarring when it happens

cubs led mlb in out percentage on ground balls - that's good!

Didn't they also hit the most groundballs, or at least top 5?

already annoyed by the marlins' slappies

Highest rate. Not sure if they were #1 in quantity
