never seen so many hbp in one series. 

Oddly enough my memory is pinging me about a series when La Russa was still there when the Cubs hit them a bunch of times and TLR went full meatball and retaliated even though, like today, they didn't appear to be intentional at all

Ok, whoever pitching the 9th and after theres 2 outs, no one on base and we're leading by 3 or more, they need to plunk someone.

I'd say do it now,  but with our pen that could lead to a big inning

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

All right, I'll take it

PCAs swing looks off.

[Papa Cub]

Can’t walk lead off man - good lord

[chibears55]

Can't be walking guys with a 2 run lead in 9th

Swanson known for using a glove until it falls apart. Its time Dansby.

This weekend couldn’t have been much worse but still worse. I hope PCAs forearm is okay, he looked all right arm on his swings.

One of the weirdest journeys to a 4-2 homestand ever:

[Papa Cub]

W always feels good 

[chibears55]

Gotta go beat up on the Orioles and Reds now, finish the half strong and then regroup for the second half 

[chibears55]

Is this every Sunday you can watch all the games on Peacock,  or was it just a special for today.

 

[Papa Cub]

One team (Rays) with 50+ wins in the AL lol

I wonder if he will get an off day to ice/rehab it - it did look like it impacted his swing a bit. Hope it’s nothing too serious, but it’ll be sore either way

It was only today. I imagine given the Star Spangled Sunday marketing that they plan to do it again next year when July 4 is a Sunday. If there are games.

I had the Brewers game on for about 3 minutes in the 9th, long enough to hear that Arizona had had the 6 hardest hit balls of the game and they were all outs. This is just the world we live in now, huh?

Marlins about to take a guy out with a perfect game after 7 innings. 92 pitches
