Re: 4/9 - 4/22 Game Discussion Thread
Angels might be my non-Cubs MLB.tv team this year. I usually watch them a lot but I have mixed them in with watching the Mariners. I might put all of my non-Cubs viewing on them this year.Comment

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Thought he was looking good in his first couple of appearances, but his last 2 have been vintage 2017 Cubs Justin Wilson. Woof. So much for that sparkling team bullpen ERA.
Wilson has now thrown 24 IP as a Cub in the regular season. 27 BBs and 34 Ks. Gave up his first HR today. Then decided to give up another one, lol. When he gets wild, guys are starting to sit middle middle on him.
Kris Bryant looks a little shell shocked in the field. I bet he ends up in the OF as soon as next season.
On the bright side, Baez/Schwarber/Happ were striking the ball well.Chicago Cubs | Chicago Bulls | Green Bay Packers | Michigan WolverinesComment

Not sure what has gotten into Polanco to start the year, but keep it up.
Also, Ohtani is the first player for me in a long time that if I notice he is pitching or in the Angels lineup I'll check the ESPN Gamecast once or twice during the game despite no rooting interest/interest in them normally.Last edited by LambertandHam; 04-13-2018, 03:50 AM.Comment

Re: 4/9 - 4/22 Game Discussion Thread
The reason I love baseball is it seems almost every day something is happening for the first time ever or in a very long time.
Last night, the Padres managed only 1 hit, and it came from Clayton Richard who pinch hit for Bryan Mitchell. That's the first time ever that a team's lone hit came from a pitcher that was pinch-hitting for another pitcher.
Along those same lines, the Giants have thrown 2 one-hitters in their first 12 games of the season. They threw 2 one-hitters during the entire decade of the 70s.Boston Red Sox
1903 1912 1915 1916 1918 2004 2007 2013 2018

The amount of range Ozzie showed to rob Schwarber is astounding

Re: 4/9 - 4/22 Game Discussion Thread
Wasn't as bad as it originally looked.
Sanchez layed down a bunt and ran down the line. Cub's catcher through the ball away, and Sanchez was called out for running out of the base baths. On replay it was apparent that he actually was on the grass though.
Seriously. That one and the play earlier where he had to run back to his position. He's so fun to watch.The amount of range Ozzie showed to rob Schwarber is astounding
And now a 1 handed double by Ozzie! Love the hustle.Comment
