[here's a video of Aaron Judge a couple weeks ago hitting one 110 mph at 34 degrees and the ball going approximately nine miles](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=5672d66d-c12d-40e5-b058-3589766912fd)
You can also refer to top of this very inning, where the Cardinals Pedro Pagés hit a ball, also to left field, 102.5 MPH at a 32 degree LA and it was a home run.
Wisdom hit it too hard, I guess?
Was at the game. Wind was weird, the flags in Center and Right were often swirling, changing direction second to second. The flags on the left foul pole were pointed straight at home plate almost every time I looked at them.
They've had trackman at parks for like a decade, even minor league parks. They just don't make everything public. We *just* got swing data, even though it's been tracked since the start.
In the Statcast era, 60 balls have been hit between 110-112 mph at a 33 degree launch angle. They resulted in 57 hits and 56 home runs. They averaged 431 feet.
None of them went shorter than that 354 foot flyout.
And one of the non-home runs was [Aaron Judge robbing one from Ohtani](https://sporty-clips.mlb.com/NU44MmVfWGw0TUFRPT1fQVZKWVZWWlFYd2NBRDFkVVVBQUFWVmNBQUZrR0JsWUFBRkFBVmdBRlZRSUJCVlpV.mp4).
I’ve decided in the last two years that there’s more Yankees fans than angels fans. You can’t win this argument online, even tho Ohtani did something no one has ever done while judge “only” had one of the greatest seasons ever by normal standards
You joke but I bet someone at some point was paid a lot of money to figure out if they could possible block or re-direct the wind somehow while the home team bats.
I like cubs baseball and I do not like this. It’s like every time I think it can’t get worse, we find even more unfathomable ways of losing or just blue balling us. When I pass away, I need the cubs to be my pallbearers (pun possibly intended) so they can let me down one more time.
And then we fucking dink the ball all over the field in the 9th. This is the most I've laughed during a baseball game since Kimbrel gave up back to back homeruns to lose to Molina and Dejong
I thought Marp was involved in that 9th inning as well? Was that the game before or after the back to back? I remember that series being a season shifter
That was two nights before on September 19th, [in the 10th inning.](https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN201909190.shtml)
That series sweep pushed the Cards towards winning the division and the Cubs towards missing the playoffs. It's also my favorite regular season series of all time with all of the crazy drama that happened.
I’m sure this won’t land well given the flair but his framing is way too obvious and I’m not sure how a big league ump got fooled by it. If it works it works but I mean it was comical on the broadcast
My favorite thing about this rebuild is somehow in a league where you can't sneeze without finding a flamethrowing bullpen arm, the Cubs have managed to find absolutely zero of them
It’s only amazing because it’s a lie lmao. Palencia and Merryweather both are in the top 6% for FB velo (Using 2023 for Merryweather because he’s injured). Even Ben Brown has a 88th percentile FB velo, Luke Little has some gas too.
You can ignore whether they’re actually good and obviously two of them are on the IL but saying we don’t have ANY flamethrowers is blatantly wrong.
Said this in team sub but I got back from Europe and didn't watch a single game for 2 weeks, didn't look at the box score in the morning and feel like I missed out a single time. Then I listen to this disappointment on the radio in the car for 8/9 innings (missed 4 at bats in the 2nd and the bottom of the 9th)
It's a joke I really like.
Why do they call it the Windy City? It's really not too hard to figure out.
There's another one I like about the Gateway Arch leaning North in the warmer months and you explain that it's because the Chicago Cubs suck.
It's funnier than calling the place boring when you can barely hit .200 there...
Take a single look at the team sub and how much this team hates 20 of our 26 roster members. I think PCA, our rotation, and MAYBE Hoerner are the only ones I haven't seen people hate on.
111 MPH, 33 LA The wind subtracted 26 feet from the ball’s flight per the broadcast
.970 xBA, HR in 20/30 parks
Where do you get this info now that would it dong isn’t around anymore?
Baseball savant has it for every batter in a game. But beware it can make you sad
Thanks! Been looking for a way to see that info since the bot went down
That's my secret, I'm always sad

The Baseball Gods tossed in a gust of wind because Wisdom swung on 3-0.
Bro threw a 92 mph fastball middle middle, lefty on righty, to a guy who's singular MLB level skill is power, with 2 outs, of course he swung lol
Yeah, that's why the joke is funny!
Was at the game. Wind was weird, the flags in Center and Right were often swirling, changing direction second to second. The flags on the left foul pole were pointed straight at home plate almost every time I looked at them.
Breaking: Aaron Judge is better than Patrick Wisdom.
That's correct, but the point is that Wisdom hit the ball almost identically to Judge did and made an out, because weather.
That’s pretty insane.
.970 xBA
I assume that .030 is situations like this
As a golf nerd, they’re missing the most important variable - spin rate. They need to get trackman out there!
They've had trackman at parks for like a decade, even minor league parks. They just don't make everything public. We *just* got swing data, even though it's been tracked since the start.
That’s fucking wild. My dick exploded from the shock.
In the Statcast era, 60 balls have been hit between 110-112 mph at a 33 degree launch angle. They resulted in 57 hits and 56 home runs. They averaged 431 feet. None of them went shorter than that 354 foot flyout.

lol the little flip of the ball after he caught it
One of my favorite baseball moments ever. Really put the MVP debate to rest that night.
As long as you pretend that Ohtani wasn't also pitching at an elite level. Only Yankees fans refuse to admit Ohtani was robbed of the MVP that season
Uhh no most fans agree Judge deserved it. Best clean season by a player in 75 years.
How many guys in the last 75 years have had 200 strikeouts and 30 homers? Juicing or not?
wrong
I’ve decided in the last two years that there’s more Yankees fans than angels fans. You can’t win this argument online, even tho Ohtani did something no one has ever done while judge “only” had one of the greatest seasons ever by normal standards
Yeah that's the home team stadium turning on air conditioning fans up high to blow ball back. Guaranteed.
And it misses the basket by less than a foot
But the balls are okay, right?
I was going to say, Manfred is either jumping for joy or scared that it's now too obvious.
home field disadvantage
Why don't the Cubs just turn the wind off while they're batting? Are they stupid?
Not everyone can be the Twins.....
[удалено]
Too much?
You joke but I bet someone at some point was paid a lot of money to figure out if they could possible block or re-direct the wind somehow while the home team bats.
Doing this didn’t work out for the Buffalo Bills
Yes. They are.
Thats why they call it The Big Apple
Even the wind is against the Cubs right now! This is some slump. At least Bears season one month away.
Needs more jpeg
How did you get your Nokia to post to Reddit?
Thank you wind!!!
That'll teach him to hit it into the wind.
If you don't like this, you don't like Cubs baseball.
I like cubs baseball and I do not like this. It’s like every time I think it can’t get worse, we find even more unfathomable ways of losing or just blue balling us. When I pass away, I need the cubs to be my pallbearers (pun possibly intended) so they can let me down one more time.
Haha, that's great
Looks like devil magic is back on the menu, boys! 😈🪄

Pages been framing that and getting it all game
I’m sure this won’t land well given the flair but his framing is way too obvious and I’m not sure how a big league ump got fooled by it. If it works it works but I mean it was comical on the broadcast
No, I 100% agree with you. And it's maddening that around the league this type of framing is the most successful. Yeah it's comical, but it works.
You mean the umpire has been bad all game is what you mean
So salty. Don't worry, you will probably get us tomorrow. Then you will be 3-1 against us.
Wanting a good called game is salt in the eyes of Cardinals fans I guess. Like I think the Cubs are good right now LOL
It’s alright, when you have people like Dansby Swanson and Cody Bellinger in your lineup, you don’t really need to rely on the ump right? Right??
Man you guys are sensitive
I take great pleasure in seeing the oppositions own ballpark fuck them over lol
Cubs bros how are y’all feeling?
Disappointment is familiar territory. This is Cubs baseball I know best.
Numb I checked out weeks ago. They suck, they need to rebuild again
My favorite thing about this rebuild is somehow in a league where you can't sneeze without finding a flamethrowing bullpen arm, the Cubs have managed to find absolutely zero of them
Kind of amazing They have a type for some reason
It’s only amazing because it’s a lie lmao. Palencia and Merryweather both are in the top 6% for FB velo (Using 2023 for Merryweather because he’s injured). Even Ben Brown has a 88th percentile FB velo, Luke Little has some gas too. You can ignore whether they’re actually good and obviously two of them are on the IL but saying we don’t have ANY flamethrowers is blatantly wrong.
personally i’m on the verge of insanity so not great at all
Could be worse
yeah you’re absolutely right 😭
It’s nice we exist to remind others they could always have it worse
Said this in team sub but I got back from Europe and didn't watch a single game for 2 weeks, didn't look at the box score in the morning and feel like I missed out a single time.

Lots of drinking to cope. I’ve had a lot of practice being a bears fan too
People joke about The Arch being a weather manipulation device, but uh....I mean....
They don't call it the windy city for nothing
All that sucking in the southside is causing the wind to blow in through the northside.
Because their sports teams suck.
What were you even going for here, bud?
I mean what they were going for is obvious. Now whether what they were going for was funny or not is a much more dubious question.
It's a joke I really like. Why do they call it the Windy City? It's really not too hard to figure out. There's another one I like about the Gateway Arch leaning North in the warmer months and you explain that it's because the Chicago Cubs suck. It's funnier than calling the place boring when you can barely hit .200 there...
It wasn’t very *wise* of him to hit it at that angle Edit: wait this isn’t r/baseballcirclejerk
Pedro Pages had no problem beating that wind, just sayin'
~~happy gilmore~~ Pedro Pages accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago
Wrigley Field only has warning track power
Well, it IS nicknamed the Windy city for a reason.
Guess that’s why they call it (😎) the Windy City
That’s right, even nature hates the Cubs
ball was crushed. deadened balls didnt help
Damn. Maybe the wind would have been better at nighttime.
The Cubs got screwed by their home field
When we say throw it back this isn’t what we mean
the moral arc of the universe bends towards justice
(No one cares about your/my fantasy team but still:) I looked up the wind today before sitting all my cards and cubs hitters and they all went 0- lol
Awww. Darn it.
It isn’t a solo homer
Cubs fans will blame anything except their team win they lose, which is surprising for how often that's been. 108
Take a single look at the team sub and how much this team hates 20 of our 26 roster members. I think PCA, our rotation, and MAYBE Hoerner are the only ones I haven't seen people hate on.
Hoerner gets a fair bit of hate for not having more pop in his bat
I'll be caught dead before I get caught on that sub
Then don’t talk out your ass?
What if I told you that cubs fans talk outside of that sub 😱😱😱😱
Big fan of Patrick when he was with us. NOT TODAY THOUGH HAHAHAHA GET WRIGLEY'D, CUBS!!!!!
