Lol, that was more of the Counsell I was expecting. He seemed very tense and wanted no part of that interview 

Boog does that to people 😅

[JHBulls]

What a great signing Shota has been. I am in love.

[CubinNY]

Their defense has been very bad

[chibears55]

Rookie game so far..

Imanaga on the mound getting it done

Busch, Mervis,  and PCA bringing home all 4 runs

[WhyCantWeWin]

Busch has got to pick that but Swanson lollipops so many throws over like that

[CubinNY]

Bad throw but Busch has to learn to dig. 

[chibears55]

Sometimes you just miss Rizzo at firstbase 

 

[CubinNY]

Woo. 

[JHBulls]

The fielding challenge in this ballpark is the OF ffs, not 1st base. 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

can't expect Busch to pick that, the wide and in between hop is a really tough play

[PeanutPunch33]

Let Imanaga go the distance!  Would be huge for this crummy bullpen

and there's really no reason not to get that there on the fly.

Yep. He doesn’t have a pitch limit but if he did, it doesn’t look like he will be reaching it tonight lol. 

[Crusader]

More good ABs and contact with pitches in the zone from PCA

[Jason Ross]

Good to see PCA with two solid PAs tonight.

[Derwood]

Swanson has a bad habit of one-hopping first base on plays that aren’t that close

The pen has been terrific since the last game of the Padres series.  It's amazing what happens when they're not carrying the load for the starters.

[UMFan83]

Look it’s cool that you can sign the inside of the scoreboard but you don’t need to talk about it the entire game

[Crusader]

Excellent time for Imanaga to go deep. They play a bunch of games in a row this stretch, so anything to keep pressure off the bullpen really helps,

[UMFan83]

Eating up all that pitch count buffer. Looking like if he gets out of this he’s going 1 more, possibly 2

I think you take 7 innings and are really happy with it, especially considering he's going on 4 days rest next time and he's not used to that.

💯 I’m happy with that

[chibears55]

Get that run home from third, let go

[JHBulls]

Very good read Tauchman.
