Hell yeah! Nico getting some love from MLB!! Your NL Player of the Week!

So so game for Adam Hamari. Slightly above average accuracy slightly below average consistency. Hamari called 145 of 157 taken pitches correctly, calls tilted towards the Mets. The #Cubs were 0-1 on challenges with 6 missed opportunities, the Mets were 2/2 on challenges 4 missed opportunities

#Cubs  win! #CubsWin! They come from behind and beat the Mets 2-1 in extra innings. Javier Assad pitched great, Michael Conforto tied it in the 9th, and Nico with a sacrifice fly to win it! Five in a row for the #Cubs

#Cubs  Notes-Carson Kelly extended his on-base streak to 14 straight games since March 30 after hitting a pinch-hit, go-ahead 3 run home run yesterday. Carson is batting .372 (16-for-43) with 3 doubles, 2 homers, 8 walks, 9 RBI and a 1.052 OPS over the course of this 14-game run

Good game called by Alex Tosi! Above average accuracy, average consistency, calls tilted towards the Mets. Tosi called 139 of 147 taken pitches correctly. The #Cubs were 1/1 on challenges with 4 missed opportunities, the Mets were 0-1 with 3 missed opportunities.

#Cubs win! #CubsWin! Quality start for Jameson Taillon! Ian Happ solo home run! Carson Kelly pinch hit three run home run is the difference as the Cubs win 4-2, go for the sweep tomorrow

#Cubs Win! #CubsWin! They beat the Mets 12-4! Edward Cabrera had a quality start on a tough day to pitch, Nico Hoerner had 3 hits including another home run, Moises Ballesteros was 2-2 with a three run homer! The Cubs are over .500 for the first time this season!

Dustin and I made our predictions on the #Cubs vs Mets series at Wrigley. Both of us have the Cubs winning 2 out of 3, neither of us believe Jameson Taillon will outduel Freddy Peralta

My first “bit” 😂😂

Good game called by Bruce Dreckman. Above average accuracy and consistency. Calls leaned towards the Phillies. He called 144 of 154 taken pitches correctly. The #Cubs were 2-2 on challenges and the Phillies were 0-1 on their challenges
📸-@UmpScorecards

#Cubs win! #CubsWin! They beat the Phillies 11-2! Shota Imanaga had a career high 11 strikeouts, Nico Hoerner homered and drove in 5 runs, Dansby Swanson had 3 hits including a home run, and Matt Shaw hit 3 doubles and drove in 2 RBI! They take the series! Back to .500!

#Cubs Notes-In his last seven games since April 7, Moisés Ballesteros is hitting .556 (10-for-18) with 2 home runs and 5 RBI after batting .150 (3-for-20) in his previous eight games from March 26-April 5. He has recorded multi-hit efforts in 4 of his 7 appearances this season,

Ok game for Mark Wegner. Slightly above average accuracy, slightly below average consistency, calls tilted towards the Phillies. He called 166 of 179 taken pitches correctly. The #Cubs did not challenge a call, missed 7 opportunities to do so. The Phillies were 0-1 in challenges

#Cubs Win! #CubsWin! They beat the Phillies 10-4. Hoerner, Bregman, and Carson Kelly each drove in three runs. Riley Martin went three up and three down as the opener. Colin Rea gave up 3 runs, but then sat down 16 of the next 17 batters

Boy, #Cubs pitchers really boy by the injury bug

#Cubs mentioned in teams interested in Lucas Giolito. Let’s see if Jed Hoyer gets something done

Good game called by Nate Tomlinson. Above average accuracy, average consistency, calls tilted towards the Phillies. Tomlinson called 171 of 182 taken pitches correctly. #Cubs were 0-1 on challenges with 7 missed opportunities. Phillies were 1-1 on challenges
📸-Ump Scorecard

#Cubs  lose to the Phillies 13-7. It really wasn’t close as the Cubs scored a bunch of run in garbage time. Javier Assad got lit up for 9 runs in 4 1/3 innings of work. Just flush this one and on to the next. They fall two games below .500

On the latest Fly the W podcast, Dustin and I made our predictions on the #Cubs vs Phillies series. We both think Philly takes 2 of 3, I have the Cubs winning Shota’s start.
