  1. Eh, it was a well hit ball. Definitely required a good jump from Seiya but he probably didn't have a better option than 2B. It was good baseball IMO.
  2. oh crap, I turned it off for a bit and checked and thought it said Machado hit the HR. That's so much worse
  3. Ugh, had a 3-1 count to Tucker and Seiya and neither could do anything with it, though Tucker hit it well.
  4. I'm assuming the wind is blowing in? If so I'd rather have Shota's 20th percentile GB rate for a game like this.
  5. Not to be the weather guy but man the weather looks ****** for the entire homestand. Rain issues Friday and Saturday and then 41/29 and 40/24 the first 2 scheduled night games
  6. This is very similar to the series we had in Oakland at the start of the 2023 season. We won those games 14-1, 4-0, 12-2. The +27 RD boost from that series kept us below our pythag record the rest of the season. Currently our RD for this series is +26.
  7. Really interested to see what the park effects look like when there's more data. Seems like the ball flies out of here like old school Coors Field, though maybe both teams are just swinging the bat well.
  8. I just read that Progressive Field has never had a player hit for the cycle and it's been open for 31 years (roughly 2,500 games). This Sacramento Park had one in its first ever MLB game.
  9. Yeah it was probably a good thing for him. He got a taste for the real thing, got to face 2 elite starters, then was able to take a breath and go back to the Cactus League to work on whatever before jumping back into the real thing.
  10. Yeah I kind of agree. I'm fine with the save for the last 3 innings thing, but there has to be some sort of limitation, like you only get a save if you pitch the last 3 innings and the lead is 6 or less when you enter or something. The idea that Rea could have given up 14 runs and still gotten the save is hilarious.
  11. Yep I remember that. Thought he had the double but had to “settle” for a HR.
  12. Damn I turned it off to go to bed. Checked the score one more time and found out I missed the cycle. Wow what a game
  13. When the Cubs win 16-15 we’re gonna be happy they made that challenge and it was overturned.
  14. There are gonna be stretches this year when it will feel like it’s impossible for the Cubs to do anything on offense. When that happens we have to remember games like today where every time you look up another run scores
  15. I just figured out why I hate that Shaw wears number 6. Because it reminds me of Bryan LaHair and Micah Hoffpauir
  16. To be fair I think it was only 11-3 when I said that. Still in the bullpen danger zone
  17. Are they gonna have to pull Brown at 75 pitches because he’s had such a long break between pitching the last 2 innings?
  18. My first cousin is named Anakin. I’ve never met anyone else with that name wow.
  19. Alright, 5-6 more runs and we might be bullpen proof!
  20. It will probably be mostly green grass with a dirt area in the infield that forms a diamond shape, with four white bases at each corner. A slightly raised circular area will likely sit in the center of the infield dirt for the pitcher's mound. There, now you can go to bed.
  21. So bizarre to me that 2 MLB teams will be playing at minor league stadiums for at least the next 2 years for completely different reasons. Go Cubs! Beat the Las Vegas Athletics of Oakland via Sacramento!
  22. Didnt realize Eberflus was managing the Cubs now.
