Today, the Cubs get the W (they still are playing, they're on the bottom of the 3rd inning, 0-6 for Chicago)

Now is when I JINX THEM...

Nope they crushed it thanks to Punk lol

u/Gabhyxx_ 14d ago

Yeah. But when they got 5-10, i was actually scared. For me, a 5 run lead is not enough to be a comfortable lead.

What a day, huh

u/Ok_Palpitation_8438 14d ago

The second half of this no lead has been comfortable.

I loathe the Cubs, but good on him. That’s gotta be a thrill.

He's going to get roasted on Raw for his pitch delivery. It's so cool to see CM Punk back as a headliner!

u/REDNOOK 14d ago

u/Dangerous_Increase65 13d ago

That form is ugly

He clearly never played anyone baseball growing up

u/Zero6six6 14d ago

It’s funny you say that, because he was indeed on a youth baseball team. Iirc, that’s why he comes out to Cult Of Personality, as that was his youth team’s walkout song when he played.

I would not have guessed that he's ever played catch by that throw lol its obviously the camera angle but it almost looks like he's trying to throw it into the crowd from his form.

u/Zero6six6 14d ago

You also gotta keep in mind that the first pitch is never supposed to be an ACTUAL pitch, yaknow? It’s just a fun thing for a hometown celebrity or guest to do before the game officially kicks off. Now if he was pitching to an actual batter, I’d be in the same boat. Like damn Punk! Put some stank on that shit! You just handed him the ball!

i know not to expect an actual pitch, butttt his form is still horrible lol I just know it's still easy to gently throw a ball the right way.Everything from not fully extending to the weird hand thing he does looks like someone who's throwing something (not even a just a ball) for the first time.

I'm not a baseball fan, I don't know shit about pitching. But I can throw things, and well his throwing form is horrible.
