Cardinals (Gibson) vs Cubs (Wicks): 6/14/24, 1:20pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

This team is painful to watch. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

What does it say about this roster that there isn't a single reliable pinch hitter to take that at bat for Amaya in a crucial situation?

[UMFan83]

This team is the most hilarious combination of inept and unlucky.  It never changes, just keeps going every single game.  There's not even a "wow everything goes our way for 1 game" moment in there.

Shocker, the contact play didnt work

When your strategy is hope the other team screws up - which is the only time the contact play is ever the difference between scoring or not scoring - your odds are bad.

[BKHoo]

Wow Amaya that is so bad. 

[Andy]

This new pitcher has one glorious head of hair. Good for him.

[I owned a Suzuki]

I used to love leaving work  at lunch on Fridays to watch the Cubs. Think they have lost just about everyone this year

[Tryptamine]

Are you horsefeathers kidding me?

[squally1313]

[Andy]

[Brock Beauchamp]

I was thinking the same thing. 

[JHBulls]

WTF? 😳 

And I guess that is why Chicago is called the windy city. 

[Rex Buckingham]

How in the world is that not a HR? That looked like it was headded for Waveland off the bat

[Tryptamine]

Is that ball #3 that not only died on the track, but on the back end of the track today?

[squally1313]

 

[Chicago Al]

111 mph off the bat and it didn’t get out, that’s crazy

[UMFan83]

111 MPH

.970 xBA

HR in 20/30 ballparks

Hardest hit ball all game for either team

[chibears55]

😅😅😅

I thought it was gonna hit the building 🤣😂

[squally1313]

that's honestly the javy game 1 HR minus like 4 feet

[UMFan83]

Meanwhile, the Cardinals HR last inning was a HR in just 2 other parks besides Wrigley

[Tryptamine]

Meanwhile Arenado gets to 2nd on a ball hit liek that

 

edit: misread the velocity
