We can dance if we want to,
we can leave Marle behind.

and if they don't dance,
they'll get a Robo Fist of mine.


Yay for a run in the first! Boo for Zobrist just barely missing a dinger.

Or Papelbon.

Cubs continue their proud tradition of scoring the absolute minimum while stranding a billion runners and hitting aaaaaalmost but not quite HR's that die a foot from the wall.

Contreras really likes curveballs. I remember Hendricks mentioning in an interview that he calls for the curve way more than Hendricks would normally throw it on his own, and Arrieta has like ~6% curve usage normally but I've already seen six or seven in his first 27 pitches this game. Just a weird observation.

Miley and Estrada have 13 combined strikeouts and I'm pretty sure only one of them was swinging.

i guess he's consistent but this ump is really into that inside strike. like anything near the inside part of the plate is being called. he probably has plans or something

yea he looked real rough there but i mean i guess that's his style. I always assume he's going to give up 10 homers and bunch of walks.

I love Contreras and it's a shame he fouled that 1-0 pitch back, because if he'd gotten all of it not even the dinger preventing force field that's been erected today could have kept that swing in the yard. :allears:
