Although some of today’s excitement about Seiya Suzuki’s Cubs debut was tempered by his two strikeouts – both looking, both on … questionable calls – it has still be fun to have something new and exciting to rally around for a hot minute.
Also, there was an ALMOST scary, but kinda hilarious moment when Suzuki was participating in a mid-game interview and nearly got wrecked by a Willson Contreras foul ball:

You could see that Suzuki started to look for the ball as soon as there was contact. Stay on your toes over there!
