Patrick Dubuque suggested the unmasked folks on rooftops should be treated like streakers - don't give them attention for bad behavior
Guest
10:14
The rooftop owners should be ashamed, however
Ben Clemens
10:14
... the Cubs own the vast majority of the rooftops
Like, the vast vast majority
Meg Rowley
10:15
Oh goodness, am just getting acquainted with Jesse Chavez's hair.
Ben Clemens
10:15
And so many were filled up, including ones with actual bleacher seats, that I think it's 100% they were selling tickets
Brian
10:16
Meg, more or less awesome that May's?
Meg Rowley
10:16
May's hair is amazing.
Derek
10:17
If only the Cubs had enough money to buy and provide masks for everyone on the rooftops
Ben Clemens
10:17
I dunno, I'd be more in favor of just not letting teams sell any seats
But last I heard, several teams had been trying to figure out if they could get fans back in the stands this year

Pirates threatening now. Two-on, one out in the 7th. Maddux had a mound meeting with Flaherty. he's got Osuna, then Heredia to deal with. Cards up 3-0
Eric A Longenhagen
10:19
infield single for Osuna, bases loaded now
OhNoMyOs
10:18
Gotta say I really like being able to hear more of the in game sounds in the TV broadcasts. I find myself wishing there was no fake fan noise.
Ben Clemens
10:18
Agree. Also a great chance for bonus profanity
Brian CashGod
10:19
Joc Pederson's huge F bomb during last night's game was hilarious
Meg Rowley
10:19
it was great
Ben Clemens
10:19
Better or worse than Scherzer's?
10:20
I enjoyed Scherzer's because it was just so in character and so early
Meg Rowley
10:20
Oh I liked Joc's for being slightly more surprising? I just assume Scherzer speaks in swears when pitching.
Ben Clemens
10:20
Flaherty looks gassed. 83 pitches, I can't imagine he's fully stretched out at the moment.
Brian CashGod
10:21
was the Scherzer when Stanton homered?
Meg Rowley
10:21
Ohtani single
Ben Clemens
10:21
Yes indeed
Defenestrater
10:21
Flaherty was supposed to throw 85-90 pitches
Ben Clemens
10:21
Looks like that will be right
One way or another
10:22
Ooooooooh Flaherty just pulled 3mph out of nowhere for that one
Brian CashGod
10:22
hmm I'll have to go back and watch it
Ben Clemens
10:22
Aspergilius fumigatus
10:22
Which of these recent MLB changes are you most in favor of?: expanded playoffs, 3 batter minimum, juiced ball
Braves fan late to the... party?
10:23
wow. I did not know J Up was that bad last year. is Adell on the 30man?
Meg Rowley
10:23
if I have to pick one of those, begrudgingly the 3 batter minimum
Ben Clemens
10:23
This seems like a good time to point out that FanGraphs has opening day rosters up
YardGoat
10:23
Jacob Stallings 2 RBI single
Ben Clemens
10:24
So 85-90 pitches indeed
Eric A Longenhagen
10:24
Jacob Stallings two run single off Flaherty, 3-2 Cards middle of the 7th
phan

What happened to Giolito? Was his velo there & his new mechanics & just got beat by a good team or did he look like he lost it
Ben Clemens
10:24
I didn't see all of the runs, but I saw a decent amount of them. He was challenging Kepler with fastballs
It did not pan out
