Braden and Grichuk's hits had xBA below .150. Colson's liner had an xBA of .490. Funny how baseball works.

He hits the ball so hard to his pull side. There's been a number of balls this year that look like easy hits off the bat that just hang up there for the RF to catch.

Ironically, seems like most balls he hits up the middle or to left center drop cause of off end of bat

Did Civale get fatter?

Yup. That one he hit last night was hit pretty well but most of the time the seem like broken bat loopers. I do wonder if some of his balls that he hits hard that are caught would fall if he were shorter.

First time a team has lead by more than 2 in this series

Willing to give Urquidy the first batter

yeah he should get a chance to go out there, runner gets on with less than 2 outs you pull him

Keep him in until it's obvious he can't go anymore. Save this bullpen.

Maybe don't hit Kelly. Don't walk him either.

Edited 50 minutes ago50 min by almagest

Can Grant go more then an inning?

Taylor warming up a little earlier than he should be

Mune underrated at 1st. He's gotten much better as the year has gone on.

Just let Urquidy finish it. This has the vibes where the Cubs will be happy that anybody but Urquidy is pitching.

Phew, catcher running

What a performance by Urquidy to help this team today and into next week. Fucking huge.

Urquidy just saved our ass so much. This bullpen needed a performance like that from him

That curve is nasty.

Urquidy is my homeboy.

f*** it, give him the 9th

What a fucking outing from Urquidy.
