I really wish this game were on a youtubetv channel so I could get a screenshot of the stat comparison they just showed between Rizzo and Trout titled "Comparably Great"

Thats what I mean, its 3 scheduled games plus the Angels/Cubs makeup.

I think that's actually neat though, since they started in the same game. Just shows how long Albert's career has been. The one before that tried to make the case that Rizzo and Trout are similar by showing career homers, RBIs, and gold gloves along with their debut dates about a month apart.

Yep Rizzo hit a HR there but the baseball gods noticed the Cubs had RISP and so pulled it back down for the longest possible out.

How the gently caress is it already the middle of the fifth

The zone is bad but WGN's pitch tracker thing also has to be miscalibrated. Cahill's first pitch was nowhere near where the tracker said it landed.

This will make sure you don't suggest to the KDz
That he should grow greens instead of crushing on MCs

Yeah he got a lot of applause his first AB. IIRC during the actual series with the Angels a while back he got a huge standing O.

do the different broadcasts use different trackers? ive always assumed so and the angels broadcast has had more than a few outside of the zone called for strikes
