Cubs (Taillon) vs White Sox (Crochet): 8/9/24, 7:10pm

[JHBulls]

Hell of a confident bat flip 😂 

[CubinNY]

Crochet gonna kill a water cooler tonight

[Eeyore]

Mercy!

[profisme]

Well… huh. This is not what I expected against Crochet but I like it. 

[UMFan83]

Awesome bat drop/flip too

[chibears55]

Homerun derby for the Cubs

[profisme]

I’m predicting PCA is gonna get plunked. Crochet is losing it to the arm side.

Clear the benches

[CubinNY]

Sizemore looks like a deer in the headlights 

[Eeyore]

All of that and a little can O' corn drives him out?

Good news is that it won’t be Crochet who hits him. If this was a LaRussa club though. I guarantee it would be a beanball next. 

[UMFan83]

That Dansby bloop hit feels like one of those situations where if the Sox werent 61 games under .500 Robert might have tried a little harder to make the catch.

[Cubbies1996]

This version of the Cubs is a lot more fun to watch IMO #HotTake 

[JHBulls]

Damn! Is PCA going to lose his stolen base streak on that? 😂 

[profisme]

That was nice of Swanson to go to third there so PCA could steal second. 

[JBears79]

Sox really should either just shift Crochet to the bullpen for the rest of the year or shut him down. He doesnt look the same to me. His slider doesnt seem to have any bite

[Chicago Al]

PCA is hitting for the cycle tonight boys

[JHBulls]

I love PCA! This guy reminds me so much if Javi, fun to watch. 

[Crusader]

Motorola Cubs are the best Cubs

[Eeyore]

I gotta tell ya Stoney, I haven't seen a player as fast as that young man since Yaz in '61.

[squally1313]

Contact play works again, just like always…

[chibears55]

If Crochet has been laboring his last few starts, if Sox are smart they should shut the kid down for the season. 

There's like 8 more starts left for him, They be better off saving him for next season. 

The most he's thrown was 50 innings in relief 3 seasons ago and he's more then doubled that now.

 

[UMFan83]

I mean it really looks like the White Sox don't give a horsefeathers at all out there.  I understand why, but its jarring to see.  

[Illiterate Scholar]

Good fundamentals by Lopez to check left field before throwing to first

[JHBulls]

I know some of you wanted to try a close look at Robert tonight, maybe the closer look will be in more ways than one if the Cubs score a few more runs. We might see him pitching. 😂
