Hitting a 75 mph curve or change up after seeing a 98 mph fastball is even crazier. Putting bat on ball, in baseball or cricket is impressive. Hitting it 400 feet is incredible. That talent and ability is magical. 🤘🏼
The Cubs defense was outstanding today, a real game changer. Had me frustrated watching it! But I like the Cubies anyway so I'm not bothered much by the outcome lol. Gg yall
Congratulations Cubs fans. I'm on the East coast but was able to watch a lot of the game. The second inning was tough to watch. Beautiful weather and hopefully it will be that way tomorrow.
Not surprising. Bullpen has been our achilles heel for more than a decade but instead of trying to solidify it, we keep bringing in big names year after year. As much as i love seeing shohei in blue, i wouldve rather had a couple strong relievers instead.
I know that it is ridiculous to try and say that this was a season-defining game But I was there today, and as a lifelong Cubs fan having gone to many a game? This was special. Great offense, but defense by the infield was incredible. This may have been the best, well-rounded game I have personally witnessed over my 64 years. Go Cubs!!!
Just a reminder that Cubs only 2 Losses were against the World Series Winner Texas in their own Stadium. Now they beat the heavily favored Dodgers. If Cubs keep that pace they definetly make the playoffs. Go Cubs Go💙
That was a good swing from outman at the end, defense was just better. Good game, and we learn from every game. Just nice to see most of the offense producing and staying in the fight.
3:49 I remember I was at a game once where Rizzo once hit a ball to that very same spot to win the game in extra innings. 2014 and the 11th inning. We sat since the 7th scoreless. Then Rizzo came up to the plate and hit a deep ball to RF just like Suzuki did here. There were even runners on second and 3rd. That was a memorable day watching Rizzo, one the best cubs ever.
I never thought I would hear that sound again after Bo. Shoei is one of four. Babe, Josh Gibson, Bo. Amazing sound of that ball exploding off the bat. Nothing like it. I only wish I could have seen babe and josh. 150 years of ball and four men with a pure crack. Amazing.
How about the FORMER BRAVES Showing Up for the Cubs Today! Swanson: 2-3, Solo HR, 1B, BB. Drew Smyly: W, 2.2 Innings, 2 ER, 1 H, 1 BB, 5 Ks! It's always a Team Effort to beat the Dodgers! Well Done, Cubs!
Lets not even talk about Muncy cant hit worth a s.h.t. Its either HR or strikeout batting low .200 hitting at the clean up spot. Someone needs to smack Roberts in the head
Cubs are without two starting pitchers, one of our best bats off the bench (Wisdom), and one of our top pitching prospects, and they’re 6-2. Sky’s the limit.

@@shoheiohtani132 Seiya is the 🐐 over on my side, screw Ohtani. No disrespect but I care about the cubs more than you care about players of any nationality on any team brother.
Had heyword been in right field the dodgers win this game. Dave Robert’s is playing this back in his head. Guarantee Heyword will be in right field from at least the 6th inning on in the next 2 games vs cubs. Teoscar in Left
The first game between Ohtani ⚔️ Suzuki was won by the latter! I am happy to think that we will be seeing the pinnacle of Japanese left- and right-handed hitters face off for the next few years!🇯🇵👏
The middle of the Dodgers lineup needs to spend more time in the cages? Muncy, and outman are consistently striking and or fielding out. Especially when there are men on base. Costing the Dodgers potentially game winning runs.
@@Lp78Ch you know? You are absolutely correct! I haven't given that much thought on account of him not calling for the bunt. Now that you have brought that to my attention? When is the last time the Dodgers have bunted?
Some takeaways from this game : 1. Freeman and Betts are so good as always 2. Should Ohtani bat 3rd? 3. Teoscar is clutch 4. Outman is as his name implies 5. Japanese players brought it 6. Muncy, stop going yard every swing 7. Cubs are playing well as a team 8. Dodgers are not playing well yet and they're 7-3
Ohtani could bat third and Mookie hit second. Felt for a couple of years when Betts is really hot he shouldn't bebat lead off. But the Dodgers don't have a true leadoff man and unless Lux or Outman bat .290 or have an obp of .350 they're not going to bat first.
Freeman could bat leadoff, he's not fast but he gets on base a lot and hits for high average. Mookie bats second, he has power and speed. And Shohei bats third, he will probably hit 40+ HRs at the very least, get a lot more RBIs for the team.
I'm a Dodgers fan and that was a good game. Outman in the 7th inning with 2 strikes protect the plate my guy. You're killing me. I get it. It looked close but come on bro.
What an exciting game, infield absolutely crushed it today for the Cubs

@@richstrobelit was windy and like 45 degrees at game time, that’s going to affect a pitcher and everyone else on the field.
Dodgers give up a LOT of runs but boy do they also score a helluva lot of them. 😂❤
Bullpen just not working out, also Bobby Miller was having a really bad day, 5 runs in the first 2 innings
Lol yeah, if their pitchers keep giving up more runs than their batters score, they'll have a stellar LOSING record!
Pitching in general was bad on both sides today. Seems like the wind messed with the pitchers

He's looking like a game changer for the cubs early in the season.
I would take Busch any day of the week over Muncy.

I don’t know if it’s they’re not playing well yet. They are playing well, just not their best. Also some bullpen injuries and Ohtani not able to pitch
Ohtani could bat third and Mookie hit second. Felt for a couple of years when Betts is really hot he shouldn't bebat lead off. But the Dodgers don't have a true leadoff man and unless Lux or Outman bat .290 or have an obp of .350 they're not going to bat first.
Freeman could bat leadoff, he's not fast but he gets on base a lot and hits for high average. Mookie bats second, he has power and speed. And Shohei bats third, he will probably hit 40+ HRs at the very least, get a lot more RBIs for the team.
