i believe that quintana is pitching today against smyly.

Strange. A 2 game series that has both games in the day. Unusual for a Pitts series

Surprised Eloy didn't sprain his ankle on that twist

Over under on games on the DL (55)

Suzuki another bomb !!

Other than our ROY candidate going yard twice, this game is boring as fuck.

Heyward's incredibly shitty offensive numbers are even worse when you consider he doesn't even play against lefties (like today).

JHK deserves a lot credit for Seiya Suzuki's early success acclimating him to the facilities, showing him where the bathrooms are, best shoe laces, etc.

Why is Suzuki not hitting higher than 5th? He’s got those bums Wisdom and Schwindel In front of him

Almost glad Suzuki didn't hit a third home run. It would have been the ghost of Jerome Walton curse kiss of death

Even on Opening Day, not even close to full in Pittsburgh.

You wont see that many fans there the rest of the year.

Him being so protected is one of the many interesting layers to the fiasco. Also being stashed on the injured list whenever possible. Took final 3 weeks off 9-12-21. But was ok to drive to the ballpark and accept Roberto Clemente award nomination at Wrigley 9-23-21. But not well enough to play though. 2 other bad money local guys were thrown to the wolves to be humiliated. James Shields 33 starts his last Sox season. Adam (Big Donkey) Dunn 2187 plate appearances (4 seasons).

Making JHK a sjw was pure genius to create a wall to insulate him and the club from harsh analysis out of fear.

Makes me wonder if the Cubs will shy away from signing a white player to big long term money? Not having the sjw parachute to fall back on in case it doesn't work.

A lot of his media apologists have permanently stained their careers spewing out utter nonsense defending and propping him up. ( Larry, Levine, Les, Spiegel, Wittenmyer, Sutcliffe, Dempster...)

Reminds me of the ALC last year. Good point!

Nice to see the bullpen throw strikes and close out these close games. Hopefully the batting order gets shuffled and they move Madrigal and Seiyo to the 2,3 slots.

M&H this morning said that the exit velocity on Suzuki's first home run was higher than any hit by Kris Bryant in three years.

ZZ sounds like his puppy just died.

Bryant was never much of an exit velocity guy. More launch angle.

Another quick lead for the Cubs...this time Contreras...

...and then the "Ace" gives up a three run dinger in the bottom of the first.

Pirates are up 5-2 in the bottom of the 4th, and they are +110 (Cubs -130). WTF? I have to take the Bucs.

Edit: Before I could place the bet, the Pirates scored again to make it 6-2 and the game is currently off the board.
