111 MPH

.970 xBA

HR in 20/30 ballparks

Hardest hit ball all game for either team

Is that 20/30 only based on actual distance traveled?  Or does it also factor in the wind?

[We Got The Whole 9]

I thought 111 with a 33 LA was pretty much a guaranteed HR

[Cubs206]

Wesneski seems to have a lot of non clean innings so that was not surprising 

[Derwood]

PCA should’ve just straight stole home. It was the only way. 

[Tryptamine]

Lol, this team is 100% cursed.

65.1 exit velo on that

[Geographyhater8888]

Just DH for Amaya and have the pitcher bat 9th.

[Geographyhater8888]

Repugnant 

[Tryptamine]

74.7mph on that one

[Rex Buckingham]

baseball is stupid

[PeanutPunch33]

We deserve this pain

pretty sure its just distance traveled.   Wrigley has the deepest dimensions down the line in baseball so 354 ft hit is not gonna cut it here.  But obviously without the wind its long gone in every park.

[Rex Buckingham]

I'm positive the Cubs will score once in the bottom, and also leave a guy on base

[Tryptamine]

Extra kick in the nuts, because sure

The pitcher has a better chance for a hit 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Darn a 31 year old journey man reliever struggling? Who would have thought

horsefeathers no we don't.  Jed and Tom deserve this pain, but Jed is probably still buzzing at how fiscally responsible this team was built and Tom is asking his underlings how much the sportsbook made so far today.

[Irrelevant Dude]

This is probably a dumb thought, but is defensive positioning just so good now across MLB that the best way to beat it is to NOT hit the ball hard?  Maybe it's just the Cubs, but it seems like every time they hit the ball hard it is right at somebody.  It is the bloops and dribblers that find the holes.

[JHBulls]

Jed Hoyer is signed through 2025. Can’t even get rid of it in a timely manner. Lovely.

I love the the consistency of our boys. Do the Cards take a 3-0 lead scoring their go ahead runs in the 8th or 9th?

So predictable

Maybe even two guys will be left on base…

[Cubs206]

Could be one for the ages with how inept the offense and bullpen is. It’s not a couple guys it’s 100% of them 

[Tryptamine]

Strike out number 6 outside of the zone
