6/11 WRIGLEY AT FULL CAPACITY - 1:20 Cubs vs. Cards

[UMFan83]

Ugh Kohl has not looked great his last 2 starts

[UMFan83]

I like what he brings to the team, but Joc has a super douchey "The Oldest Brother from Home Improvement" vibe that I do not like

 

Oh for sure and it was unbearable when he was with the Dodgers. Now its bearable but I can't unsee it ever.

[abuck1220]

i've seen enough of that dude.

[Schwarber Fan]

Time for a rally

[muntjack]

Heyward getting a hit there literally shocked the hell out of me. He was 9 for his last 77.

[muntjack]

No. More. Sogard.

[UMFan83]

Hell yeah, nice work legging out a triple by Alcántara. Get this run home please

[abuck1220]

kohl stewart thinks this guy is toast.

[Bertz]

Alcantara was doing awesome at Iowa, and is still just 24. I'll be a lot quicker to think he's real than Wisdom.

[raw]

Yadi imploding is soooo fun

[Bertz]

That Nance curve all to strike out Dejong should be hung in the Louvre. Holy Horsefeathers.

[UMFan83]

Wow 9 spot has 3 walks today, twice the pitcher and once a hitter who is 4-41 this year (albeit 9 BBs)

[muntjack]

Alcantara was doing awesome at Iowa, and is still just 24. I'll be a lot quicker to think he's real than Wisdom.

 

Yeah, Alcantara's issue is that he's shown no power whatsoever at any level. He'll have to rely on babip and plate discipline to have decent value. That said, He could never hit a HR again and I'd prefer him over Sogard.

[Gilby]

Since we're not getting long starts anyway, bring Stock up to throw 100 mph bullets for 4 innings

[NonProfitCow]

As predictable as it gets

[UMFan83]

Nice 14 pitch PA for Rizzo, hopefully these types of at bats are infectious.

 

That'll give the team a shot in the arm

This is the best Cubs moment since 2016.

[soccer10k]

Rizzo would have homered 5 pitches earlier if he’d gotten vaccinated.

[Andy]

That was easily the best shot of the month for Anthony Rizzo.

 

OK, puns aside, that was horsefeathering cool.

[UMFan83]

Have to admit my cold vaccinated heart still really enjoyed that moment.

[Schwarber Fan]

Would love for wisdom to launch one here

[Andy]

Longest Cubs AB to result in a homer in the history of pitch-count tracking (since 1988), Boog just informed us.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Rizzo have a swing that looked like that.

[UMFan83]

As predictable as it gets

 

It's insane how often these 12+ pitch ABs end in an XBH. Like I get it, after fouling off 6-7 straight pitches the advantage starts to shift to the hitter but still, even if you have the timing right you still have to hit the ball

[squally1313]

Would pay a good amount of money to have a Len 'oh baby' over that one.
