SEIYA!!!

[mk49]

What did JD say, right before the HR?  Seiya is great.

[chopsx9]

Rocker's pitches piling up nicely.

[BKHoo]

Wow. Awesome at bat MB.

There was a graph on the screen about the 17-17 career stolen base attempts against Rocker. JD: “In this ball park where he doesn’t give up a lot of home runs, the running game becomes a little bit more important.”

Next pitch…

”CLONK”

Home run.

Yes, I know, just a little, though, comparing to earlier in the season.  He'll start hitting again.

They are really stretching out Ben today.  Surely this has to be his last inning 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Ben only at 46 pitches. Really strong outing.

[chibears55]

Wow.. Ben Brown what season so far

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Incredible performance by Ben

[mk49]

Ben was super impressive.  Didn't give up a hit, and only one walk.  His ERA is 1.82 now.

I guess Ben Brown will start game 1 of the WS.  

[Irrelevant Dude]

Speaking of slumps, Bregman has been the worst hitter in the lineup for awhile now.

[Papa Cub]

Is it fair to say that Bregman has been a major disappointment thus far? Ugh 😑 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Well last time we signed a terrible long-term deal we won the World Series so here's hoping 

[JHBulls]

Catchers need to start challenging quicker and hitters need to stop readjusting their helmets after every pitch because it can look like he’s asking for a challenge.

IN his last 15 games, 13 for his last 60, slashing .217/.294/.283.

Yikes!
