The Rockies Hit Bryant & Rizzo, Cubs hit Arenado, Javy Goes Deep, A breakdown
What Happened
The tension between the Colorado Rockies and the Chicago Cubs is palpable as the two teams face off. In the previous game, Rockies pitcher hit Chicago Cubs stars Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo with pitches, sparking a heated exchange. In the current game, the conflict continues. In the second inning, Rockies pitcher hits Bryant with a changeup and the very next at-bat, Rizzo is struck by a fastball. Cubs commentator Brian Posehn is visibly upset, slamming down his food in frustration. The following day, Rockies star Nolan Arenado is hit by a pitch from Cubs pitcher Cole Hamels. Arenado reacts dramatically, acting as if he was "shot by a thousand bullets." This prompts the Cubs to retaliate, with Hamels hitting a Rockies player in the foot. Rookie Phillip Diehl is sent to the mound and the catcher pleads with him not to hurt anyone, saying, "He's a rookie, don't blame him. They made me do it." Cubs slugger Javy Báez then steps up to the plate, swinging for the fences as Rizzo steals bases. Báez connects on a towering home run, staring down the pitcher and licking his lips, saying, "Yeah, we're gonna score 100 runs. That's our retaliation." Throughout the series, the teams have traded plunks, with four Cubs players hit by pitches and one Rockies player. However, the Cubs have taken a different approach, staying calm and letting their bats do the talking, as evidenced by Báez's impressive home run. The long-standing rivalry between these two teams continues to simmer, with both sides unwilling to back down. The tension-filled games serve as a stark reminder of the high stakes and emotions involved in the sport of baseball.
