8.20 - It's Raining

[Derwood]

In a delay. Is this game happening?

[UMFan83]

It looks like there's a window to get at least 5 innings in but I wouldn't be opposed to calling it and letting the Brewers bitch about it.

Reyes is a large human being

[Bertz]

It would be really cool if Madrigal kept hitting. He's been the best version of himself since coming off the IL, hopefully his issues in April was just rust or lingering injury or whatever

[Bertz]

Has Dontrelle Willis been announcing long? I know he's done studio work for several years, but this is the first game I've watched that he's calling. He's pretty solid.

[UMFan83]

Bet the Brewers wish Willson was traded.

[UMFan83]

What the hell was that Wick? Absolutely perfect pitch to crush on a 3-1 count and he does to spoil a fantastic performance by Stro today

Wow that scrappy little dude Nicky 2 Strikes lived up to his name. Blown save on Williams

[squally1313]

This has been an incredibly satisfying and entertaining half inning.

Nicky 2 Strikes makes his Cub debut!

[Derwood]

Madrigal going 3 for 5 every game doesn't suck

[Bertz]

Williams is certainly burned for tomorrow now too. Very nice.

Agreed. I didn’t expect them to actually score until that ball cleared Wong’s glove, but the entire inning have been riveting. Several great ABs

[Derwood]

Garbage at-bat by Happ. JFC

Strike 1 and strike 3 were great pitches. Probably should have been protecting the plate on that last one though. And the swing on the ball in the dirt wasn’t pretty.

[Bertz]

Yelich squaring to bunt here says volumes about where things stand with him right now

[Derwood]

Brault is missing the zone by a foot

[d_money]

Wow Yelich screwed the pooch there, if the call stands

[Gilby]

Man that Yelich contract is a wonderful albatross. Stearns is really good but he's got his work cut out for him once these pitchers get expensive

[Derwood]

Have I mentioned how stupid this extra inning rule is?

[Gilby]

Nice crew chief back there

[UMFan83]

horsefeathers I don’t care if he’s walking after the year and is costing us draft position, I’m so horsefeathering happy we kept Willson

 

Cubs win again. 11-4 in last 15
