9/11 - Cubs (Wicks) vs Rockies (Freeland): 7:40pm, Marquee

[itisallpartoftheplan]

That’s annoying. Thought it split the gap easily.

[UMFan83]

Dammit that was set up to be a huge inning and we only got 1

[chibears55]

Dang, bottom 3 reach base, and top 3 make outs..   ugggh

[sneakypower]

might need to switch broadcasts to escape Sutcliffe's effusive blather

[Derwood]

Bellinger's AB's have both been bad. In this park, I just assume he's going to park everything in the bleachers, but instead he has had two Heyward-esque rollover grounders

[Irrelevant Dude]

I know it's been said plenty of times, but Madrigal at 3B has been a revelation.  Similar to Swanson, I just assume anything hit his direction is going to be an out.

[UMFan83]

Dammit I thought Gomes had that homer

[Irrelevant Dude]

Warning track power is back.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

If my calculations are correct that's the 73rd warning track flyout since the start of the Dbacks series

[itisallpartoftheplan]

3 warning track fly outs and 2 hard Nico liners caught. Baseball is dumb.

Unfortunately that great defense has been coupled with a sub-.500 OPS over the last 3 weeks or so. 

[abuck1220]

cubs 0-6 on balls hit 97.5 or harder in coors field. 

[UMFan83]

Wicks at 73 pitches. I suspect he gets 1 more inning max 

[abuck1220]

sorry 0-7

[abuck1220]

0-8

[abuck1220]

1-9!

[UMFan83]

Great job challenging Morel lmao

 

edit: did that say 466 feet?!?

Over the fence finally!!

[Irrelevant Dude]

456 feet, wow. I knew he hit it, but I didn't think it went that far.

[chibears55]

This ball got a chaaaaance, gone 

Bring out the tape measure

 

Pat Hughes is the best

[UMFan83]

So Phillies won game 2. Cubs will either be 1.5 or 2.5 back

Brewers beat Marlins 12-0, cubs will either be 3 or 4 games behind the Brewers and 2.5 or 3.5 ahead of the Marlins

DBacks down 3-2 vs Mets, Giants up 1-0 in Cleveland, Reds idle

[Irrelevant Dude]

Ho hum, just 5 innings of 1 run baseball from Wicks in Coors Field.

[Jason Ross]

In a perfect world you'd like a few more swings and misses.  But it's a rookie, on the road at Coors and he's starting to get more and more ground balls.  All in all, a good 5 innings from Wicks yet again.

Rolled over another one for a double 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Slow grounder through the 2B hole for a double. Nice.
