I'm so glad that we didn't go for Yamamoto and signed Shota instead. This guy is a beast just like Steele. Without injuries the Cubs are an insanely dangerous team. Go Cubs go 💙🔥
Steele, Bellinger, and Suzuki will all return at some point. PCA is doing an admirable job filling in at CF. I hope he stays with the big club for a while.
The bullpen has been a problem so far. Hopefully someone steps up or they make a smart trade. It took 45 years for me to experience a Cubs pennant. Am I acting spoiled for another within a decade? 🤓 💙❤️
Both Shota Imanaga and Yoshinobu Yamamoto are Japanese pitchers who have solid fundamentals, so not only their pitching but also their fielding are excellent
I'm very impressed with Shota, right now that is .... But just wait till the wind is blowing out of Wrigley and the temp is in the mid 80's.... His ERA could swell to above 3 or 4 in a single game. As a cubs fan I hope that doesn't happen. I hope Shota wins the cy young! ... Let's go Cubs!!!
Cubs are just so sound fundamentally Base running, fielding etc just doing all the “basics” right They are starting to get a consistent bullpen and starting Rotation and the results are showing
6:16 This is not surprising at all i understand why american commentator amaze what he doing in NPB every batter can bunt well technically that's japan baseball is all about running, contact hitting and especially bunting so it's normal from him to make that play
1:16... What's up with Swanson and his lazy soft tosses to first base? Does his arm hurt? Or does he still think he's playing little league? Throw the darn ball already!
Imanaga just insane! Frontrunner for not just NL Rookie of the Year, but NL Cy Young!! 🔥🔥
Yeah and he's pitch count through innings is low this is something like in NPB days
Second place… BUSCH ROY

But Yamamoto is 6 years younger than Imanaga.
Holy smokes. If the Cubs didn’t have so many blown saves they’d be #1 in the league.
Thanks to alzolay
4 BS to be exact

Bullpen gonna cost Cubs all season…
Imanaga is great, his ERA of 0.98 is ridiculous
what is era
@@nofurtherwest3474Earned Run Average - essentially how many runs a pitcher allows while he pitches
Still early in the season but it’s hard not to be excited about the team, especially once the IL struggles ease up
@@nofurtherwest3474🤦🏻♂️
@@nofurtherwest3474 new to Baseball?
He pitched well as a starter in the WBC final. Japan is a pitching powerhouse, so there are still many talented pitchers in the shadows
Both Shota Imanaga and Yoshinobu Yamamoto are Japanese pitchers who have solid fundamentals, so not only their pitching but also their fielding are excellent
Shota Imanaga continues impressive MLB start
If Cody and Seiya back, the Cubs can beat any teams
Don't forget Steele
And merryweather
Jesús what a team we have
@@Gabrocolmerrywheather is mid tbh
Very good win for the Cubs!
Thanks for telling me who won😤
I love Imanaga and PCA😍
Shota Imanaga is magic, a whole lot of magic. #FlyTheW
GO CUBS NATION
*[ W ]*
Imanaga might win a Gold Glove this season!!
Shota Imanaga will be the best pitcher of the season💙❤
I don't have a team but I like LA and the Cubs. Both are playing well and have good players.
Imagine this cubs team with Steele seiya and Cody
Holy smokes
Many Japanese pitchers throw good pitches and are also good at fielding. No other product is so affordable. Among them, Imanaga is one of the best.
日本は円安だからね。1$＝160円 お買い得だよ
Probably the Cubs' best well-rounded game so far this season.
Shota’s deceptive delivery compares to Crawford’s show me the money ball for two seconds before delivery is what makes Shota a challenge for hitters.
The Boston commentary bragging about Crawford have the best ERA like Imanaga wasn't the opposing pitcher.
He had the best ERA in baseball coming prior to the start.
Red Sox defense is atrocious
Imanaga has been terrific, and PCA looking pretty comfortable in the MLB.
cubs are legit, we're missing arguably our 3 best players, Belli, seyia and steele and we're still winning games.
Cubs playing some good baseball without their stars, keep it going #gocubsgo
I'm very impressed with Shota, right now that is .... But just wait till the wind is blowing out of Wrigley and the temp is in the mid 80's.... His ERA could swell to above 3 or 4 in a single game.

Love it! Well done Cubs!
Cubs are just so sound fundamentally
Base running, fielding etc just doing all the “basics” right

Cubs look really good they need is solid closer & add quality middle relief.
Hey Chicago Does any Cubs fan know that Imanaga's batting is good?
Cubs Win!!! Cubs Win!!! Cubs Win!!! Go Cubbies Go!!! 💙🐻💙
Shota Imanaga is good at baseball
He’s ok.
6:16 This is not surprising at all i understand why american commentator amaze what he doing in NPB every batter can bunt well technically that's japan baseball is all about running, contact hitting and especially bunting so it's normal from him to make that play
今永三振多い割に球数も抑えられて四球少なくて守備まで冴えてて無双してるね😊
身長高くないことがマイナスと言われることもあったけど、マダックスやペドマルのように身体が特別大きくなくても大投手は居る。日本人でも去年菊池が2桁勝利した前例あるしシーズン通しての活躍が期待できそうだね。
Imanaga and Cubbies straight❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
bottom 3 ab from Valdez, Shota dotted that fastball for strike 3 noway that was 93mph deadass it looked like 96/97.
The Chicago Cubs are 17-9🔵🔴⚪️🐻
Busch and Imanaga is beast
ROTY front runner
Шота - крут)
GO CUBS GO!!
Wow! Only took 6hrs post this after the game ended…. Thanks.
Exactly!! Was waiting for the highlights and it took forever!
It was all downhill from here for the Cubs. 32-47 since that game
Let's go, Cubbies! PCA looks good! Not to mention Imanaga... Tauchman... Nico Hoerner! Let's go, guys!
Cubs ❤❤❤❤🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
SHOTA IMANAGA🇯🇵🗾
Ya let’s go. Keep the bats hot boys
1918 MLB World Series rematch
You were there
Nico has really turned up his game when he is batting
When I hear Matt Mervis all I can think of is Thurman Merman, jesus
Cubs need to get roki sasaki.
Imanaka pitch 🟰 cubs win
A fight broke out at our local bar when a guy said his name incorrectly.
Third base coaches are way too cautious in sending runners. Saw it in the Cubs half of the second.
Cubbies looking very strong
Another Sho-time is in Cicago
I know it's still early in the season, but he's better than Yamamoto so far
Lets go cubs let's go cubs
Where is Yoshida vs Imanaga?
What happened to Casa? They do not like being home. They really are basically a Triple A team.
Go Cubs Go!!!
HEY CHICAGO WHAT DO YOU SAY?
Imanaga... pitching phenomenal
Imanaga Wao 😳
This team is starting to look like something "special"!
메이즈진출한 일본선수들 정말열심히 잘한다 일본선수들 본받을점은 선수기간에는 운동에만최선을 다한다는것
Go cubs
Let's go Cubs
Entire team is injured, impossible first half schedule... 16-9.
I LOVE JAPAN
Shota cy young??
Cubs play smart baseball.
Why is MODERNA still advertising? COVID is over.
1:16... What's up with Swanson and his lazy soft tosses to first base? Does his arm hurt? Or does he still think he's playing little league? Throw the darn ball already!
The sox just flat out stink at Fenway park!
I went to the game. Wish the sox’s won
Besbol⚾️🇺🇲
GO CUBS GO💙🐻🤍
Shotime Iminaga
i like turtles
Boston has no attack, no defense. There is no team.
Craig council is a terrible manager. Notice how the brewers are 1st place without him?
Red Sox coulda had him.
I was looking forward to Yoshida vs. Imanaga, but the incompetent Cora didn't make it happen. I feel good that he got what he deserved.👎👎👎
which one is more incompetent, Cora or Yoshida?
@@wilburwood8261🫵😮
Yoshida cannot play The field, Raffy played DH cause of his Knee, Yoshida can’t even play regardless lol he’s not that good
