hate to admit it but yes that would have happened.

Christ on a cucumber why would you listen to anything that chooch says?

I was so happy to see Ross allow Hendricks to finish the game. I agree with those who expressed that Maddon would have pulled him after the single to Arcia, if not before. Hendricks was outstanding. Hoping to see Baez and Contreras spark the offense today and for Darvish to look like the 2nd half Darvish of last season. Getting off to a good start is imperative this season.

What a bad throw. They sent Rizzo even though the LF had the ball before he got to third.

Heyward might hit .150 this year. And Cubs brass and Score yes men will still praise him.

it's easy to frame balls to strikes w/ bucker behind the plate.

i like the fake crowds

Kyle really should never play the field again.

Throw some pitches why don't Yu. He'll have more pitches than Hendricks by the 5th.

You dipshits

Sounded like that was a hell of a rundown

fuck up there on the rundown.

hope yu doesnt fall apart now.

not his fault. it was going to be a double anyway.

I don't like the fake crowds. We're not playing The Show. And they only use it during certain shots. That makes it more gaudy. Love the cardboard cutouts. Embrace the weird as Amin said. Cutouts > 2K crowd.

I love the crowd noise, for now at least. It seems like ESPN hardly used noise compared to FOX.

is this fake crowd noise only thru Fox or in wrigley? i dont remember it being this fake loud last night on marquee. it' s really good.

keep it tied here yu. no need to panic

The crowd noise creates temporary noise but it doesn't factor in buzz. Yesterday after Ian Happ hit the homer there wasn't that natural energy and excitement that would follow for the rest of the inning with fans in the stadium. It was like nothing happened

ya it felt like you were watching a last place team in sept.

i like this fake noise today.

The crowd cheered after Kipnis struck out

It was Milwaukee fans who drove down for the game.

This

I just turned on the game. The cartoons behind home plate like to rest there chin on there hands over and over

Now FOX decides to put The Show fans behind home plate. I don't have much knowledge in the video production field but I'm guessing they can't put fans in the first 10 rows or so because it would ruin the foreground (batter and pitcher) video quality. I vehemently hate the video game crowd, but I understand FOX is trying different shit out for when playoffs/World Series comes around.

The fans behind home plate all went to the bathroom together. Why do they appear and then disappear?

They can’t put the fake fans in the first 10 rows because they would distract the pitcher.

This game is on close to a 4.5 hour pace of play.
