The play by pay guy kinda sounds like Joe Buck.  Or is that Joe Buck? Lol

I keep getting hints of Mike Tirico and it's been distracting me all series

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Jesus, man.

I swear a majority of the hits Palencia gives up come with 2 strikes. With his stuff he shouldn’t be having trouble finishing hitters as much as he does

5th of *512* in four-seamer rate with two strikes. Just throws too many damn fastballs. Still a good pitcher! Could be even better imo. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast_search?hfPT=FF|&hfAB=&hfGT=R|&hfPR=&hfZ=&hfStadium=&hfBBL=&hfNewZones=&hfPull=&hfC=2strikes|&hfSea=2025|&hfSit=&player_type=pitcher&hfOuts=&hfOpponent=&pitcher_throws=&batter_stands=&hfSA=&game_date_gt=&game_date_lt=&hfMo=&hfTeam=&home_road=&hfRO=&position=&hfInfield=&hfOutfield=&hfInn=&hfBBT=&hfFlag=&metric_1=&group_by=name&min_pitches=100&min_results=0&min_pas=0&sort_col=pitch_percent&player_event_sort=api_p_release_speed&sort_order=desc&chk_count=on#results

I think Joe Buck isn’t doing baseball at all anymore. 

[Hortonhearsawho]

Sure let's keep ruining these golden opportunities to score more runs

I know Pat’s poop schedule like any true cubs fan should, and it’s not that I’m a zaidman fan, but it was jarring to hear haugh when I flipped to the radio to walk the dog.

Never liked Haugh, he irritated me everytime he'd be on that show with Kaplan. 

Mr know it all

[We Got The Whole 9]

Of course Happ doubles there 

[BigSlick]

I've always disliked Haugh. Something about him comes across as condescending, not really sure how to really put it into words though 

[Guest]

Finally happ doesn't k. PLEEAAAASE get this run in! Little knock here

[Jason Ross]

Good swing Happ. Brings up a better and better looking Tucker.

[muntjack]

Come on.  3 would feel so much bigger than 2.

horsefeathers these double plays have cost them so many runs so far.

Yeah if I recall correctly it’s usually when he goes away from the fastball with 2 strikes when he’s had trouble

[Stratos]

My nipples are moderately erect.

[Hortonhearsawho]

Sigh if only we didn't hit into another double play. 

[chibears55]

Need another 80 mph single out of Tuck here

Id get that checked out by a doctor

[We Got The Whole 9]

Weak sauce 

[chibears55]

Ugggh

[muntjack]

You bastards. Don't break my heart. 

[squally1313]

Going to be a lot to lament here if this takes a turn for the worse. 

[Guest]

Don't love just having a 2 run lead

[Jason Ross]

DANSBY horsefeathers SWANSON

[squally1313]

Where’s the guy who’s biggest memory of Dansby Swanson is some September error
