9/6 - Giants (Wood) vs Cubs (Wicks): 1:20pm, Marquee

[UMFan83]

On the plus side Wicks might be able to get through 6 if the Cubs want to stretch him a bit.  What is his pitch count limit, 75?

He’s also hitting RHPs better this season.

But he's a RHB. Conventional wisdom says only they are allowed to face LHP.

That called 3rd strike on Bellinger 😖

Sorry I meant what was the pitch count limit they had been trying to keep him at?

I think they let him go another inning, or at least start it.

Seems like a good situation for a Shane Greene inning, if not for the fact Greene was DFA.

I'd be losing it if I were a Giants fan. They are making great contact and have basically had the leadoff guy on damn near every inning. Hahaha.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Lots of hard contact given up by Wicks, but i think they should push for another inning

zach davies doing zach davies things for the dbacks.

Is it just me or has Wicks adjusted his mix as he's gone through the lineup again? Suddenly using the curve more and getting more swing and miss.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Hmm, a hit by a lefty off a lefty. Preposterous!

[CubinNY]

Nice low stress game

 

[UMFan83]

Every fly ball towards Haniger is an adventure lol

[bukie]

Everyone in the lineup has reached base, all but Swanson have a hit (Swanson has 2 walks).

They have 7 runs through 6 innings, having scored in 4 of the 6 innings, continuing to add on.

[UMFan83]

Letting Wicks pitch the 7th, love it.

Maybe Palencia and Keegan finish off the game?

Canario watch is on if we get through this inning without giving up a run.

Could hit for Seiya, Tauchman, or Morel most likely.

[UMFan83]

damn ok, maybe 75 is the limit

Hottovy during that mound visit:  Jordan, Ross might actually put Canario in if you keep it scoreless, no pressure

Hoping Little got here quick enough that he can get his debut out of the way

[abuck1220]

is the entire bullpen gassed/hurt/hung over? every team the cubs face throw back to back bullpen games at them, using 7 pitchers every game. cubs act like they have a 4 man pen lol.

[UMFan83]

This is starting to feel like that Wesneski inning in Pittsburgh where Ross kept leaving him in and the other team got back into the game.

[champaignchris]

Please go get him.

Good outing by Wicks without his best stuff.  

[UMFan83]

Exit velos that inning:

69.3, 93.7, 94.7, 101.3, 103.2.  Just kept rising
