6/30 - Guardians (Quantrill) vs Cubs (Steele): 1:20pm, Marquee

[Brock Beauchamp]

Well, let's just forget that Phillies series happened and move on to the Guardians.

[CubinNY]

Steele is a comedy of errors in the 1st inning. 

[Andy]

That was some pretty impressive stuff by Steele to quickly get out of his own mess.

[CubinNY]

Pat keeps calling them the Indians, lol. 

 

[champaignchris]

Tauchman 2 for his last 20. Is the magic over?

[profisme]

Super fun that Steele had to throw 5 strikes to strikeout Naylor. 

[Nolansomebody]

Hoerner with 42 RBI now!

[CubinNY]

Dansby has been Dansdont for a long time.

He's always going to run hot and cold on the BABIP train given his complete lack of power. The 2 walks in his last 31 PAs is probably more concerning.

Pitchers have no reason to through him anything but strikes around the heart of the plate. 

 

[Andy]

I think I'm cool with Jared Young sticking around.

Walk, single and RBI since I complained about him. 
 

Anything else I should gripe about?

[Derwood]

The BABIP gods are pleased today

Petition for Steele and Stroman to pitch every game until their arms fall off.

  I realize there's player and manager voting and Steele still seems to be under the radar but I don't know you can leave him off the All Star team.  Sorry in advance for jinxing him

I will settle for every game being on Friday

And never play on Sunday.

 

Wow I didn't realize that they were 11-2 on Fridays (if they win) and 2-11 on Sundays.  What an odd team....they almost always give you a boost going into the weekend and then also kick you in the nuts when you are looking for a pick me up before work on Monday.

lol, Madrigal 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Madrigal bunting yesterday when he’s got that kind of power made no sense.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

lol Madrigal has like a 155 wRC+ since he came back, 60+ PA

[UMFan83]

Wait Madrigal homered?  I'm actually not as surprised as I should be, he's actually been driving the ball fairly deep of late.  It was only a matter of time.  Wish he didn't use up his one home run of the season in a game we're now leading 9-0 but beggars can't be choosers.

Think there's a good chance the exit velocity of Tauchman' FB was greater than Madigral HR.

Somewhat close.  Madrigal's was 98.2 and Tauchman's 93.8
