Was that 13 combined pitches in the 1st inning.  Is that some kind of record? LOL.

[chibears55]

Damn, let not do that again..lol

[JHBulls]

Wow. Balls of steel to get out of the inning. 

[JHBulls]

Yay! Bases loaded, 0 outs. What could go wrong?

[sweetpeteman]

Well at least it's a run...

[We Got The Whole 9]

Where's that approach been Pete?

[JHBulls]

That was massive Dansby. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

horsefeathers yes Dansby great approach

[chopsx9]

Da'BOMB

[chibears55]

Swanson with the April power..

 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

was wondering when Nola was finally gonna give in and throw a fastball.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Pretty sure Pete just yelled "I walked!"

I said the same thing - great AB

[Papa Cub]

Atta boy Dansby!! - PCA’s patience and better AB approach adds another run. 

[Geographyhater8888]

I had know ideas Nola was only hitting the low 90’s these days. He looks super hittable.

[squally1313]

This lineup is so, so deep. Dansby has been, xwOBA wise, essentially the same hitter since signing with the cubs and we’ve just (correctly) continually moved him down in the lineup as more and more talent arrived/developed. 

[Old Style]

I was ready to be pissed that they only scored one after a bases loaded no outs situation. Thankfully Dansby took care of that. 

[chibears55]

Rea needs to get through this inning 

[Wilson A2000]

The pressure is off Counsell now

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I feel like Busch is really good with picking bad throws, are there any stats to back that up?

[CUBDOM4life]

Get out of the way goose

[chibears55]

Remember the goose, that what gets Busch hitting 

[JHBulls]

Aaron Nola has really sucked this year. Interesting to see, 

[BKHoo]

Amaya with a tough game so far. 

[muntjack]

At 22, Ballesteros is already such a good PA.  He's going to be something else. 

If they can occasionally find spots for him to catch, perhaps he'll be ready to split time with Amaya in '27.
