GDT 9/16/21 Chicago Cubs (Hendricks) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Bedrosian)

[bkeich]

Was that a HR derby pitch? Why would you EVER throw that pitch to Harper?

He kinda missed it and it went into the 2nd deck. That pitch is a HR 100% of the time to him.

[Patchmk88]

Guy is unbelievable.

[kikutaro]

J.T. Realmuto

Called strike (93.1 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (93.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (94.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (86.5 mph slider)
Called strike (86.3 mph slider)

J.T. Realmuto called out on strikes.

[bkox]

WOW.... Harper OPS now 1.057 I dont think Ive ever seen an OPS rise like this, this late in the season. On Sept 7th his OPS was .999.

[bkeich]

You could hear that pitch tick off Didi’s glove, I thought it was clear.
That said, you shouldn’t be allowed to call for a review up by 7.

[kikutaro]

Ball (94. mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (84.5 mph slider)
Foul (93.5 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, out(s) (83. mph slider)

[bkeich]

You don’t see many games where 5 different guys on one team have at least 2 RBI.

Only 1 position player failed to reach base (including PHs and replacements). Take a wild guess who.

[kikutaro]

Matt Duffy

Defensive Substitution: Andrew Knapp replaces Mickey Moniak, batting 7th, playing catcher.
Pitching Change: Adonis Medina replaces Hector Neris, batting 4th, replacing catcher J. T. Realmuto.
Ball (94. mph sinker)
Ball (93.8 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (93.8 mph sinker)
In play, out(s) (94. mph sinker)

Matt Duffy pops out to first baseman Matt Vierling in foul territory.

[zambonir]

Well, I guess if it takes 7 runs to win a normal game it takes 14 to win a bullpen game.

[kikutaro]

Sergio Alcantara

Ball (93.7 mph sinker)
Ball (94.6 mph sinker)
Called strike (93.4 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, out(s) (93. mph four-seam fastball)

Sergio Alcantara lines out to center fielder Odubel Herrera.

[bkeich]

Apparently Kruk has reading glasses with lights in them. When questioned why he bought them:

“ I bought them in at a drug store. Apparently I bought a lot of drugs that day too”

[kikutaro]

Nick Martini

Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Nick Martini replaces Rex Brothers.
Ball (94.5 mph sinker)
Called strike (88. mph changeup)
Foul (87.4 mph changeup)
Ball (93.8 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (86.3 mph changeup)
In play, no out (93.3 mph sinker)

Nick Martini singles on a sharp ground ball to center fielder Odubel Herrera.

[kikutaro]

Rafael Ortega

Ball (81.5 mph slider)
Called strike (92.5 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, out(s) (92.3 mph sinker)

Rafael Ortega pops out to first baseman Matt Vierling.

[LoneStarPhan]

Joy, oh joy. We get to see Knapp bat this inning.

I'm predicting he gets a hit.

[bkeich]

How many games have two 7 run innings, a 5 and a 3? All after a 0-0 start in the first 2 innings

[bkeich]

Good news, even Knapp can’t drive in -7 runs in one at bat.

[kikutaro]

Andrew McCutchen

Defensive Substitution: Trayce Thompson replaces left fielder Ian Happ, batting 3rd, playing center field.
Defensive Substitution: Austin Romine replaces catcher Willson Contreras, batting 4th, playing catcher.
Nick Martini remains in the game as the left fielder.
Pitching Change: Dillon Maples replaces Rex Brothers, batting 1st, replacing center fielder Rafael Ortega.
Ball (92.7 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (93.7 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (85.3 mph slider)
Ball (86.9 mph slider)
In play, no out (86.7 mph slider)

Andrew McCutchen doubles (20) on a line drive to right fielder Alfonso Rivas.

[kikutaro]

Andrew Knapp

Ball (92.6 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (93.8 mph sinker)
Ball (84.8 mph slider)
Ball (94.8 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (93.1 mph four-seam fastball)

Andrew Knapp walks.

[bkeich]

Matt Joyce’s .492 OPS makes him the best bench hitter used tonight. Bet that hasn’t happened.

(Not really, Vierling came off the bench too I just realized)

[LoneStarPhan]

Cubs not messing around with Knapp. Fear that bat.
