  1. I know it’s just one inning but Bigge looks like the real deal. Also, Michael Busch is a dawg.

  2. I listened live on the radio. It’s been a long time and I still love it. I’m doing this again asap.

  3. This isn’t meant to be a negative comment: we scored 9 runs and somehow still left 12 on base. Craziness

  4. All around just a fun easy win. Busch and Happ continue to produce. Jamo with a real solid start. Miles looked good at third and even got two knocks. And Bigge debuted with some 🔥🔥

  5. Pat called this the best game we’ve played all year and I have to agree with him.

  6. Go figure that the first game of a road trip at the best team in the AL would be their easiest win in months

  7. When the Cubs win the world series, we’re gonna be talking about how Tomas Nido and Hunter Bigge turned this team around

  8. What a fun game to listen to. If Swanson’s bat wakes up, good things may continue to happen consistently. 

  9. If this team is 5 games under or worse at the break…and someone wants to give you two decent prospects each for Happ/Belli/Taillon…gotta take it..if Happ agrees, obviously
