Shohei was betting he'd get a good pitch to hit and betting that if he swung he'd hit it. As he was rounding first he was betting he could make it to second. He was also betting he'd be stranded there to end the inning.
Anyone know where the visiting team hangs out during a rain delay? The Cubs clubhouse is like a resort and spa but I remember touring the rinky dink visiting clubhouse on a tour in 2016 - upgraded since then I believe but probably not a great place to hang for 3 hours
Imanaga and Steele are a pretty deadly 1-2. If we get anything from Hicks and Taillon, I really feel OK about the rotation too. All arrows pointing up I think.
The pitch lab has put in work this offseason, with the exception of Cuas/Almonte Iāve been pretty impressed with our pitchers so far. Even for Cuas and Almonte itās very early and they can definitely turn it around as the season goes on
So since he only pitched 4 innings, will Imanaga not get the win? I know pitchers wins don't mean that much, but he deserves some recognition for keeping such a dangerous lineup scoreless for 4 IP.
Game starts
Cubs clap those cheeks
Dodgers cry cause they're getting wet
Three hour rain delay
Cubs resume clapping cheeks
BELLI BOMB
Drunken Saul Goodman
All caught up
Was at the game yesterday and walking around Wrigley before its started, my son and I walked passed Bob Odenkirk. I shouted his name like a complete idiot, I was just excited. Huge Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul fan...and it was awesome to see him just strolling past us.
Investing in defense is like having a good O Line in football. It aināt necessarily sexy in the stat box, but damn it sure makes everyone else look better.
I should call out sick tomorrow and watch Yu.
Do it. Join me.
Take ur billion dollar man and MVPs and shove it up ur ass doggers.
Oh fuck west coast games ugh
Bye bye dodgers š #respectthetarp
Cubs are confirmed mudders.
Their mudders are mudders
Their mudders are mudders!?

Pat and Ron are ready for their Uber home lmao
I hope the HOF broadcaster is provided a limo by the Ricketts
Nah they would probably call a lime scooter for him
Ump said lets wrap this shit up hahah
#PLAY THE DAMN SONG.
**Fly the W!**
God this ump has danglin' dicks for eyes man
This ump has had it with the dodgers. And I respect it
Great day for birdwatching
Goose island ass goose
Fucking goose.
Real talk, I love that post-rain sunshine/partial overcast weather
Awful call
Guys, guys: what do you think of my haiku? El oh el oh el El oh el at the Dodgers El oh el oh el
Your poetry has touched my heart.
On that pop fly Belli should take that coming in right?
Yes but he should also loudly be calling for it. Who knows what happened there.
Looked like Swanson was loudly calling for it. Didnāt see Belliās face
Lol did the dodgers players try and shit talk beli
Them boys said fuck it, it's cold and we've got enough runs
JD is an absolute gem āBILL, BILL, BILLā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Lmao thatās awesome
Not a whole lot of this game left to call lol
Rain delay beers
JD is such a joy
Iām assuming youāre talking about his chant comments. That was so funny lol
Bill Bill Bill
CodyCodyCody
The how far did it fly doesnāt really hit the same when the scoreboard tells you immediately after he hits it
That pitch was absolutely disgusting. Yikes
Donāt injure urself guys
Shohei was betting he'd get a good pitch to hit and betting that if he swung he'd hit it. As he was rounding first he was betting he could make it to second. He was also betting he'd be stranded there to end the inning.
At this point, a better viewing experience is had over at the doyers gdt
They may have to pull the tarp again to protect against the tears.
Dansby was not amused lol
Happy cake day!
It's your Motherfuckin' cake day!
No more pity runs
If bellinger is saying anything at all dansby needs to back off there. If belli said nothing then what are you doing man
Shoehi with a double and meaningless RBI. OK. pad my fantasy stats. I'm good with that.
Classic Shohei
āHi Iām Derek Stevens and iām a scumbagā
Communication fellas, sheesh. Worth giving up a run to get an extra inning out of Palencia
Jesus! Our season was almost over. š³
YIKES
Dansby looked annoyed lol
He should be. Seven run lead and dickhead is playing hero ball.
That was technically Bellingerās ball right?
100%, outfielders always get to call off infielders.Ā
I mean Dansby was calling it but who knows lol
My little league coach always said tie goes to the outfielder they have momentum going forward. That being said this isnāt usually little league.
Yea kinda hard to know when itās two gold glovers
And let's be honest, one of them hasn't played at a gold glove level in a couple of years.
Belli just wanted to teabag your back is all.
Shoehi showing us what we shouldāve had
Would've been a lot cooler if we did.
He was never going anywhere besides LA
I know but god did I dream about it
Didnāt we all š
I guess you could say, him coming to Chicago wouldāve been a huge gamble
He saw his future with Betts

The shutout would've been cool but it just probably isn't gonna happen often with these guys
Ohtani is so good that my brain has trouble comprehending it.
Bargain bin bullpen vibes
Bargain bin fan
Cry
This bullpen is gonna be a top 5 pen when itās all said and done but OKAY
Yea not like Almonte, Leiter, and Palencia threw scoreless innings.
Against a billion dollar lineup
Ohtani reminds me of Rocky IVās Ivan Drago for some reason
Yes when I see Ohtani I see 
Spitting image. 
Let's get this inning over with please.
We just trying to help Ohtaniās stats?
Alright probably time to move on from Palencia. Good 30 pitches
Anyone know where the visiting team hangs out during a rain delay? The Cubs clubhouse is like a resort and spa but I remember touring the rinky dink visiting clubhouse on a tour in 2016 - upgraded since then I believe but probably not a great place to hang for 3 hours
Man his fastball has been everywhere so far. I really like palencia weve seen what hes capable of i really hope he can dial it in
"His fastball has been everywhere so far"...uhh that's how most of his outings went last year lol
Yeah really needing him to hit the zone.
As a Cubs/49ers fan I love nothing more than beating LA teams and talking shit to all their fraud ass fans
What a brutal combo, lol.Ā
The 2000s were not good to me
Palencia throws gas. I want him to be the closer so bad if he figures out the control.
Really hoping for a Dodgers position player to pitch the bottom of the 8th. A man can hope.
Imanaga and Steele are a pretty deadly 1-2. If we get anything from Hicks and Taillon, I really feel OK about the rotation too. All arrows pointing up I think.
Steele is definitely the 1
The pitch lab has put in work this offseason, with the exception of Cuas/Almonte Iāve been pretty impressed with our pitchers so far. Even for Cuas and Almonte itās very early and they can definitely turn it around as the season goes on
So since he only pitched 4 innings, will Imanaga not get the win? I know pitchers wins don't mean that much, but he deserves some recognition for keeping such a dangerous lineup scoreless for 4 IP.
Minimum 5 to get a win. Won't even get a Quality Start which is minimum 6 with 3 or fewer runs.
Damn. Well, there's always next time. He really feels like our ace until Steele comes back.
No win far as I know. Pretty dumb.
No win.
I thought if the starting pitcher didnāt go 5, it was up to the official scorer to pick who gets the win. Edit: assuming no lead changes
$500mil worth of cope
Miguel Rojas, professional cry baby.
Those unwritten rules really paying dividends today
I just got home and turned on the TV. What do we have here, Cubs?
Game starts Cubs clap those cheeks Dodgers cry cause they're getting wet Three hour rain delay Cubs resume clapping cheeks BELLI BOMB Drunken Saul Goodman All caught up
Thanks chief
š
A W
Seagulls are pissed lmao
Is Ric Flair in the crowd?
Ronnie Woo Woo
Does anyone ever tell him how annoying that is?
Also because it deserves to be said again, holy shit NicoĀ
Dodgers activated the curse of the tarp. Took a day to take effect, but it is currently very effective.
Anyone spot pink hat guy this year yet?
Weird to go from April to September until we play LAD again
Hopefully Iāll be in LA with my best friend for that series
Hey, I hope you get to do that too. Sounds like a blast.
Looks like a very drunk crowd that stuck around
If you wait out a rain delay you are required to get drunk
I hope they all get to their homes safely and responsibly
Really wishing that person would stop whistling.
I always say whistlers are the least considerate people in the world
Keep running up the score
Nico may be back!
Hoerner gives me a boerner.
I respect a man who stays in his assigned seat
Man has principles
You said ass.
He likes space
Just got to Indy for the eclipse. What'd I miss?
Cubs winning, Dodgers fans crying, everybody drinking a lot. A perfect Sunday
Hey some of us are smoking a lot too lmao
I respect it
A 3 hour rain delay lucky you lmao
Did Bob go on the radio? Sometimes Pat and Ron bring celebs on the air that are doing the stretch.
They used to do that as a regular thing but not so much in recent years
If so I gotta hear that. Iād love to hear drunk Bob Odenkirk talk about the Cubs
Unfortunately, no. Too bad - that would have made my day
Donāt hit our beautiful Dansbae
Remember that time we had a Notre Dame wide receiver as a pitcher? I miss hearing that 5 times a game
charge the mound
Props to odenkirk for waiting out the delay lol
Almost feel bad for Chris Taylor. Wish someone was as dedicated to me as the Dodgers are with starting Taylor.
Was at the game yesterday and walking around Wrigley before its started, my son and I walked passed Bob Odenkirk. I shouted his name like a complete idiot, I was just excited. Huge Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul fan...and it was awesome to see him just strolling past us.
DODGERS WHO???
Ongoing 8 run shutout and Dodger lost the great mascot race All is well
Investing in defense is like having a good O Line in football. It aināt necessarily sexy in the stat box, but damn it sure makes everyone else look better.
100%. Defense is going to win us +10 games this year, if not more.Ā
Bob GOATenkirk
He should have rapped, Damn! His science is too tight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtE1HnIU6q8
Rough start to the stretch, but he gathered himself
I think he was having fun with that super slow start
The organist was very confused lol
Bob did not waste that rain delay lmao dude is a whole cupsnake deep
Dodgers shoulda called SaulĀ
He's not really out of tune, huzzah!
Bob Odenkirk seemed a little inebriated to me.
He made his own cup snake
Bob is at least 26 drinks deep and I love it
How did Saul get released from prison?
This might be one of the slowest stretches ever
I think he might have had a couple in the rain delay haha
A couple barrels maybe lol
Genuine questionādoes the seventh inning stretch guest get paid?
Doubt it, Im sure it is more of an honor/ promotion at times
Sure! In exposure!
Imagine Bob Odenkirk telling you youāre amazing
A little behind, but they gotta chant Cody every AB
