Name Yer Cub, Episode 2

[Brock Beauchamp]

Here we go again!

(we'll do a couple of these a week for awhile, then switch to weekly)

The shin guard has me thinking Soriano, but having both hands on the bat is making me think otherwise

[CubinNY]

The player has the patch on from the Wrigley anniversary so that is a giveaway. I'm going to say the dearly departed Luis Valbuena.

[17 Seconds]

soler? i suck at this game

[We Got The Whole 9]

It sure looks like Jorge's swing

[Bertz]

Yeah it's one of the bit players from 2014.  Matt Szczur?

[Jason Ross]

My initial thought was "That's Jorge Soler for sure". But considering that I don't think it'd be that easy, I'll go and say that's Junior Lake.

[Thurman Merman]

I'm going with Welington Castillo.  Not sure if the body type is right though.

Yeah, I don't remember enough about Junior Lake to know how similar the swing was, but there's a lot of Soler indicators in the follow through, bat, even the long sleeves while the crowd is not bundled up.

I was trying to see if there was a balaclava because that would 100% confirm it was him.

this has convinced me its soler

[Sammy Sofa]

Castro would get all bundled up ninja-style, too, but whoever that is doesn't have Castro's big ol' dumper. And Castro's uniform usually seemed baggier (and I think he would often have it unbuttoned at the top, too?).

Morel is the first name that popped into my head from the image 🤷‍♀️

[NorthsideAvenger]

I'm choosing to believe it's Matt Szczur and he is homering against Kershaw.

[Bertz]

I don't know that he looks jacked enough for Soler? 

On the other hand the white pinstripes can be misleading on that front.  And the long sleeves in temperate weather thing is very compelling.
