Wrigley Field Weather Impact on Tonight's Game Pitching
Transcript
00:06What's the breakdown tonight at
00:09Wrigley? Now, typically, most
00:11people will say like, well, you
00:12know why there's an eight at
00:13Wrigley, right? That means the
00:14wind is blowing in which it is
00:15some rain in the forecast but
00:17I don't think it's going to
00:17affect the game overall
00:18tonight. Seventy-eight degrees
00:19at first pitch which is nice
00:20but that wind is blowing in but
00:21it's under 10 miles an hour.
00:23They're not hurricane force
00:24winds. Twenty-five miles like
00:25boy, you get the ball in the
00:26air. It's going to blow from
00:27center field back into the
00:28infield. That's not the case
00:29tonight. Take a look at
00:31Hendricks on the mound. He's a
00:32right-handed pitcher. He's
00:33actually done very well against
00:34right-handed batters but a lot
00:35to be desired against lefties
00:36and you come into that lineup
00:38just against right-handed
00:39pitching over the past month.
00:40We're talking about the the
00:41Minnesota Twins, Walner,
00:43Miranda, Kepler, Lewis, Buxton,
00:45Larnak, and Castro all well
00:47above their weighted on base
00:48percentage averages against
00:49right-handed pitching. That
00:50should help. Flip it over to
00:51the other side. Chicago going
00:52up against Festa who hasn't had
00:54a lot of success. There was
00:56eighty-five batters that he's
00:57face bent. How about this? An
00:58average combined? 325.
01:00Disastrous. Weighted on base
01:01percentage. 402. Disastrous.
01:03You got some decent hitters in
01:04the lot of particularly middle
01:05of that order. If we're looking
01:07from ISO power numbers that
01:08should be elevated. Pete Crowe
01:09Armstrong, Cody Bellinger,
01:11Seyo Suzuki, Michael Bush. So I
01:13look at that eight number.
01:14Forget about the side. I think
01:15we get nine runs or more
01:16despite the wind blowing in at
01:17Wrigley which again is under
01:18ten miles an hour. It's not
01:19devastating windy conditions.
01:21I like the over here. Yeah.
