One weird trick that Cubs hitters HATE

[chibears55]

Cubs been pressing that luck with Rea, eventually that Whammy was gonna show up for him.

Bats need to have an inning or two with big crooked numbers, and quit popping up and hitting weak grounders

I can't even get mad at that homer by Perez.  Pitch was in a very good location and wasn't even a strike.  Also the softest homer by EV hit at Wrigley this year.

Thats a Salvador Perez special. I looked it up on Gameday and yeah, that's a borderline inside strike at best. Can't get too mad when a guy just freakishly mashes that out. 

Can our boys do that?

This is an objectively bad take.  One run is unearned because of the error and the pitch Perez hit out was both not even a strike and the softest HR hit at Wrigley this year.  Baseball is just gonna baseball sometimes.

[PeanutPunch33]

The catchers this year have been a pleasant surprise

6 inches may have done it (that's what she said!).

Another one of those people who buy a half inning of PBP for charity. He blew his home run call after JD said to use it on anything close. Was one foot from a homer!
