Twins (Bradley) vs Cubs (Boyd): 7/18/26, 1:20pm

[JHBulls]

Watching this today, a lot of the 2016 squad was just a really good group of guys (Rizzo, J-Hay, Fowler, Ross, Arrieta, Lester etc). Good dudes, all of them. And then Joe Maddon shows up. Always have to smile seeing him.

Nico going the opposite way for hits is what you like to see, nice 4 hit game for him

[Papa Cub]

Vote for PEDRO

Nico is 4 for 4.  He might be back!

He’s raking lately

This is the best version of Nico. Not trying to swing for the fences. Love today for him.

Alex Brujans “hot streak” consisted of a 93 mph home run and a bloop, pop up double.

I wonder how many games this year the other team hasn't hit a homer, because it feels like maybe 5

20, cubs including today has given up a homerun in 78 of 98 games this season 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I don't think Nico had 6 hits the two weeks before the break, now 6 hits in two days 

[JBears79]

Wish PR had more opportunities to play.

He went 7-43 leading up to the all star break and 6-8 yesterday and today. Hopefully he’s turned  corner. 

[Geographyhater8888]

I’d love to see both Nico and Pete hot at the same time.

Leave him at DH for a few games,  Conforto is better when hes not playing everyday

When Pete gets cold, Nico starts hitting and vice versa. 😅

The fact that basically every single guy showed up (minus the current active players) shows what a special group that was.  Only Pedro Strop and Hector Rondon are missing

Thornton is in the circle of trust and Thielbar is out, right?

Yeah, I agree.

It kinda sucks to see the guys from last year's circle of trust aren't good this year like Thielbar, Pomeranz, Keller (injured now), Kit (not too bad) and Palencia (on the IL most of the season.)

If you can get three outs without giving up a homer, you're in

It’s so cool to see many of the 2016 team members just chilling in right field with their families watching a Cubs game on a Saturday afternoon. 🍻 

Wish Taylor was doing the interviews

[BKHoo]

Ramirez looks like he belongs.  Do we think he will be part of a trade package?

Yeah, unless an infielder gets hurt

[Hortonhearsawho]

Just how we drew it up. 

[chibears55]

Holy shitttt, what a double play 🤣

[mk49]

Wow, a crazy double play.
