4/7 Brewers (Burnes) v. Cubs (Kyle); 1:20, MSN, MLBN

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Frank if you're gonna turn back into LaHair I appreciate you having the dignity to do it all at once so we don't waste more time on it

[Ding Dong Johnson]

My scorching hot take is that Frank will be a sub 750 OPS guy this year.

[abuck1220]

prolly don't want too many GIDP on 3-0 counts with nobody out and suzuki on deck bud.

[David]

I have a feeling I'm not going to be mad at Suzuki's at bats very often

[champaignchris]

Just one game and small sample size, blah blah blah, but Schwindel has not looked good at all in his 3 at bats so far.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

a good and perfect boy i say

[Irrelevant Dude]

Excellent at bat. I like this guy.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

you just can't teach that veteran savvy

[Andy]

If Jason Heyward can get the Wrigley wind to do that every time he bats he might actually have a good offensive season.

[Gilby]

Man Suzuki has been impressive today against A stuff. Make it hurt!

[The_Achiever]

Christian Yelich turning into an albatross is not something I expected but welcome immensely.

[abuck1220]

ok, that DP was cool, but let's try somebody else.

[David]

i really can't stand how david ross manages

[Transmogrified Tiger]

it's a little nitpicky since it's not an *easy* play, but Schwindel's throw raised the difficulty on that DP turn. Part of that was his placement, and the other part is him being right handed and what that means for the natural throwing motion/trajectory

[UMFan83]

ahh yes early season Cubs pen. Hopefully it doesn't take them too long to optimize it

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Best game at Wrigley by Norris since he hit that Dong off us for Detroit.

 

My fault, but I also didn’t think Ross would bring him out for another inning.

[Andy]

That was a spectacularly terrible throw by Happ to turn a 200-foot fly ball into a sac fly

[Transmogrified Tiger]

that's gotta be better Happ

[UMFan83]

Ugh you mean we'll have to score again?

[Irrelevant Dude]

that's gotta be better Happ

Schwarber throws him out by 20 feet there.

[UMFan83]

That was a spectacularly terrible throw by Happ to turn a 200-foot fly ball into a sac fly

 

Thoughts watching that play:

 

Sweet, 2 outs. We might get out of this jam. Oh wow they are trying to tag, what idiots. Wait why is the runner past the throw?

[mul21]

that's gotta be better Happ

 

Absolutely awful fundamentally. Over ran it and didn't set his feet at all to throw. So bad.

[Sammy Sofa]

i really can't stand how david ross manages

 

The piss running down his leg last inning...was all yellow.

 

I'm sorry.

[Andy]

Another new-rule adjustment - seeing a pinch-hitter come to the plate and immediately trying to figure out who the hell they're replacing

[Transmogrified Tiger]

we didn't do a bold predictions thread but if we did I would've said Frazier is gonna make the all-star team

 

he is gonna rake
