Yankees up 7-3 over Marlins

Reds up 3-0 over Pirates

[UMFan83]

What kind of PC do you think Assad is on at this point?  He's at 48 through 3 IP

He went 83 pitches last time on 4 days rest, and today he's on 5 days rest, so I imagine it'll be more dictated by performance how close he gets to triple digits.

Seiya!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Yes Seiya, he missed the first curve that didn't hit the spot but didn't let him get away with it again

[Derwood]

Off day did them good

This is fun so far, gotta do this all weekend 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Seiya definitely cut down the leg kick

[Derwood]

Alejandro Kirk? What beer league did they draft this guy from?

Are you commenting on his weight or that he’s an obscure player? Because he has 1000 MLB PA, .760ish career OPS and an all star game appearance

I think it's more because he looks like someone put Rowdy Tellez through a can crusher

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Vlad Jr isn't gonna play first the rest of the year at this rate

[chibears55]

I thought Swanson got all of that.. damn

He looks like he should be on the slow pitch team with Rowdy and Vogelbach

Pretty sure Apple TV+ broadcast is in 1080p and Marquee broadcasts in something closer to 720p, so that be part of the reason the broadcast looks sharper (in addition to sleek graphics, etc).  I like it much better than the Peacock broadcasts at least, though horsefeathers streaming.

Yeah, I find the Peacock presentation pretty bad. It feels like it's 15 years old.

[UMFan83]

Yankees still up 7-4 over Marlins in 7th

Reds up 6-0 now

Phillies up big too but they are so far away at this point unfortunately

Brewers tied 2-2 with the White Sox

[champaignchris]

So, at this point Assad should stay in this starter slot and Stroman will go into Smyly’s vacated slot whenever he’s ready to come off the IL. 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

how did he lose his bat and hit the ball in fair territory

[Derwood]

I'm not mad about this Assad start

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Nico swinging like he promised a sick kid 2 HR tonight

[UMFan83]

Not Cubs related but this is funny

 

 

[jersey cubs fan]

Kind of want the flex seal boat

[UMFan83]

Can’t believe I was questioning his pitch count in the 3rd inning and here he is an out from finishing the 7th
