4/10 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Padres (Cease) 5:40 PM

[Jason Ross]

So I'm well acquainted with Cease. I know who he is, what he throws. I know who he was drafted by and traded for. But I've never really watched Dylan Cease throw. He's far more awkward looking mechanically than my brain thought he'd be.

[JHBulls]

Now Seiya knows exactly what Cease throws. He watched them all. 

[CubinNY]

Sure wish the Cubs could get a do over on the Quintana trade.

vintage Hendricks (?)!

Weak contact everywhere, and the Padres have 2 runs out of it.

[Rex Buckingham]

weak hit everything has turned into 2 runs... sometimes baseball sucks

weak contact, low pitch count, looks like he's just getting the bad end of a probability

[minnesotacubsfan]

Cease will no hit the cubs

 

 

(just saying to get it jinxed)

Exactly. He has looked very good so far. Hardest hit ball so far was 72mph. Just had very bad luck.

[Crusader]

Hope Morel is okay. I’d take him out precautionary even if it costs us this game. He’s been so good. Cannot afford him to be hurt long term.

[Crusader]

Michael horsefeathers Busch!

[minnesotacubsfan]

Michael.

Busch.

 

that is all

 

[Rex Buckingham]

Busch!

[Jason Ross]

Get it Busch!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Busch go boom

[CubinNY]

I think Busch is going to be good.

[JHBulls]

Michael Busch has been an early season revelation.

Give a little credit to Morel for hanging in there with 2 strikes and an owie and putting that ball in play to reach base on error 

[Crusader]

Not really sure it’s a defensive miscue tho when Morel hit the ball 109 mph. I’d respectfully disagree with the official score keeper on that being an error.

Busch crushed a slider. This is awesome progress, as sliders have been pitches Busch has had the biggest in-zone-whiff% issues with in Triple-A, both in 2022 and 2023. He's been a great hitting on fastballs >95mph (and has been getting better at the 94-95mph stuff). If he gets better at sliders too? Watch out ya'll.

Honestly thought the same thing.
