7/29 - Cubs (Taillon) vs Cardinals (Wainwright): 6:15pm, Marquee

[CubinNY]

I am so loving beating on the Cardinals. It’s so sweet. 

[Tryptamine]

Madrigal being a guy would be huge for this team

[Jason Ross]

Big credit to Madrigal for his work at 3b.  I really thought there was no chance he'd work out there defensively.  Totally wrong on that front.

[Tryptamine]

Brewers lose

[KCCub]

Is there a chance he's really good defensively at 3b?? 5 OAA in only 34 games started at 3b (39 total games played there). 

[Tryptamine]

Not a strike

I think there's enough data to suggest it's possible.  SSS and defensive data is up and down here and there, so I think nothing definitive.  But maybe Madrigal can do a Jace Pederson thing at 3b.

If the Reds lose (and Cubs win), they'll only be 2 back in the loss column

Just needed a winner to rope me back in!  I've watched considerably more MiLB.TV than MLB.TV since 2021 for sure.

Taillon is dealing

[Andy]

I had no idea Madrigal's numbers were so good. OPS over 700.

[Tryptamine]

Why is Taillon out after 84 pitches?

[Tryptamine]

I don't get it. You know Alzolay isn't available,  Merryweather may not be either, so why take Taillon out early?

Fulmer only gave up hard contact to Willson, but that was still an annoying inning to watch.

[PeanutPunch33]

Madrigal was the hottest hitter on the team before his last injury.  Glad to see him pick up where he left off… exciting piece to add to a scorching hot team

I missed that too.  Good for him.  If he can come back and be the high contact .300 plus hitter that would be such a good thing for this offense 

[Tryptamine]

Dbacks win

[Hunter]

Please stop trying to make this interesting. I prefer the Cubs to crush the Cardinals to their soul.

Assad with the bases loaded,  well this is definitely going well

[Eeyore]

They're going to run Assad into the ground
