No Boog, no JD, no T-Mac. I don’t want to be here. 

They all went on a long vacation together 😅😅😅

I think we will see one more bullpen game against the white sox next weekend. That should be it assuming they do get a pitcher at the deadline. 

I hope not, the next bullpen game would be the Sunday before the Brewers series and it would be dumb to possibly use up a bunch of pen arms to get through 9 innings. 

If no trade has been made in time to insert them in rotation, then I'd rather see them go with Brown and or Wicks to start the game and piggy back.

SEIIIIIII-YAAAA!

[JHBulls]

Now this is real baseball. Not that abomination that happened in Atlanta.

Second thought, no Boog, JD and T-Mac is stupidly stupid.

Third thought. horsefeathers YEAH!!!

[chopsx9]

When he's aggressive in the zone he's so good!

[We Got The Whole 9]

So much for that sparkling Giolito streak. Good start.

Giolito has allowed just 3 ER total in his last 6 starts and 1 in his last 3, averaging almost 7 innings a start. 

And of course Giolito gives up 3 ER in 3 batters

[chibears55]

Fuk yea..

PCA lol

[UMFan83]

Says a lot about PCA that when I saw the ball bounce away from the fielders that I briefly wondered if he could get a triple out of it even though it happened in short left field.

[UMFan83]

Dammit....got one past the wind, but the wind takes one back.

Damn that's some bs

Seiya's HR:  105.7 mph exit velocity, 26 degree launch angle, HR in 1/30 parks (yay Wrigley), .950 xBA, 389 feet

Dansby's flyout:  105.4 mph exit velocity, 31 degree launch angle, .850 xBA, 385 feet

So basically 0.3 mph less velocity hit 5 degrees higher caused the ball to go 4 less feet

Damn, hate leaving runner on 2B when he gets there with 0 outs.

New mechanics. Front foot is slightly open instead of closed off. Hands seemed a bit higher. 

[BigSlick]

Ian Happ OPS watch: .699

[BigSlick]

Ugh 

[PeanutPunch33]

This is a pretty big out
