Starting Pedro against Skubal the lefty. 

[Derwood]

Is this one exclusively on TBS, or is there a Marquee broadcast as well?

It's on Marquee, too.

[CUBDOM4life]

Think this is Pedro’s 3rd start at 3b in the last 5 games 

[chibears55]

Hopefully they can at the very worst stay within 1-2 runs and get to their bullpen 

[PeanutPunch33]

Can't really say enough good things about Pedro.  Most exciting young hitter on this roster behind PCA

The Dodgers are a scary lineup with Pages, Muncy, Teoscar Hernandez, Edman, catcher-of-the-day Rortvedt/Feduccia/Smith making up half of it, make it make sense. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I can't believe that human giraffe made that catch

I mean, Pages has a 117 wRC+ and Muncy has a 130. So...

We haven't seen an MVP Candidate wear jorts since 1993.

[Derwood]

Lefty with a 2 strike hit? Check

Taking a walk? Check

Love that this lineup can do things against pitchers that other teams can't

[chibears55]

Bregman,  seems like he always hits popups in big opportunities 🙄

[Wilson A2000]

Bregman has to put a better swing on the ball in that situation with a 2-0 count

Skubal's change up looks exactly like a fastball out of the hand, and that was a fastball count. Had it been a fastball, he might've parked that pitch into the bleachers
