4/10 Brewers (Peralta) v. Cubs (Stro); 1:20, MSN

[Rex Buckingham]

So far, the Brewers have hit poorly, and pitched maybe even worse.

 

Ian Happ probably won't play, which sucks because he has been awesome.

 

Pretty excited to watch Stro as we go for the season-opening sweep.

 

Go Cubs!

Lefty heavy to face Peralta, plus Frazier starts for Happ and Willson gets a rest from getting plunked

Frazier gets me somewhat excited for getaway day.

Sweep these pussies

Well, Stroman's velocity certainly isn't down like most after the short spring

Peralta is an extreme flyball pitcher who gets lots of swing and miss. Might be one of the worst hit and run candidates you can draw up?

Looks like it cost them a run.

Also, why do it with Villar, who has above average swing and miss and has the platoon advantage, and not Madrigal, who is a contact machine and is right handed? Feels like it might've just been a straight steal and Villar just swung.

Nice!

[Tryptamine]

Seiya!!

[soccer10k]

Suzuki no doubter!

[UMFan83]

Umm hell yeah

[We Got The Whole 9]

We look like we found a bag of St. Louis pixie dust

 

Beautiful blast by Suzuki also

[Gilby]

Damn Seiya is impressive

 

This whole lineup has been

[CubinNY]

Cubs D a little shaky to start the season especially in the IF.

I knew it was night and day but horsefeathering christ

[Tryptamine]

Hoerner hitting a lot of balls hard. He's actually really interesting if he somehow developed 15-20 hr pop.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I don't know if the actual measurements bear this out, but on TV the ride on Stroman's sinker is wild. Like he's throwing it up and down a hill

[CubinNY]

Stro has a Carlos Marmol slider.

[Bertz]

Stroman didn't really seem to have it at all that inning, good to get out with just one run

 

Wonder about guys getting gassed faster early on this year, and Stroman came out of the gate with bigtime velocity today

So he's basically prime right handed Votto.
