White Sox (Cannon) vs Cubs (Rea): 5/18/25, 1:20pm

[BKHoo]

Exciting first inning. 

[Derwood]

Boog and JD? Together? Is this allowed?

[PackLandVA]

White Sox (thru 7 hitters) seem to be getting some good cuts against Rea.

*Nico hits the ball*

BOOG: "That one's drilled..."

*Ball gets caught 50 feet from the warning track*

Im sure one or both will take off this upcoming road trip.

Does anyone know if other teams announcers are doing this or is it just the cubs

The Reds notoriously rotate through a bunch of guys (and they all suck)

[JHBulls]

Colin Rea has been a revelation this year.

In Cincinnati? They say that's the (insert homophobic slur here) capital of the world.

 

Hopefully, everybody remembers the clip from a few years ago.

He hits the ball hard at times it just doesn't travel far.

I saw that his launch angle is down to 10 and below at times, way behind league average for HRs which is around 25 as an average low end.

If he not gonna hit for power, he probably should utilize his speed some and start bunting for hits and get that launch angle  more for line drives which is probably best between 15-20

Talk about winning easy money, I wanna play mound ball

[JHBulls]

Eh, at least we are an inning closer to the White Sox pitcher remembering he plays for the White Sox and it’s time to give up 8 runs. 

[Geographyhater8888]

I know Tucker is in a slump and he’ll break out of it eventually but that $600 million figure floating around is ridiculous. No one his paying him that.

[Cubs420psd]

Just walk this dude, he's the only person in that line up who is even kind of dangerous.

To win $1000 you only need to dump 5x that into being a season ticket holder

Unfortunately the Cubs basically turn into the Whitesox on Sundays and the Cubs bats so far have remembered what day it is.

[Geographyhater8888]

They’ve had 11 consecutive 3 game series with at least one game of 3 or less runs and 9/11 with 2>. Only 1 win and that was the home opener vs the Padres.

[BKHoo]

2 hits?!

[JHBulls]

Holy crap, did Kris Bryant keep the Cubs in the 2016 World Series on a Sunday and the baseball God’s has punished the Cubs on Sundays ever since? 

[PackLandVA]

Totally type of game shaping up where the Cubs offense  refuses to score and the Cubs bullpen decides to horsefeathers the bed.

Seems like there's been a decent amount of hard contact at defenders

Giancarlo Vargas, please keep it in the yard.
