Field of Dreams Game 2022

Major League Baseball is back in Dyersville, Iowa on Thursday night.

— FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) @CubsManager David Ross talks about what the experience at Field of Dreams has meant to him. — FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) @Ken_Rosenthalspoke with @JoeyVottoabout how the Field of Dreams connects his childhood to his major league present, and the memory of his late father. "Watching him in the booth, I was in awe. He has three pitches: a mid-90s sinker (depending on your classification), a breaking ball, and a changeup. He'll enter tonight with a 4.40 ERA (106 ERA+) and a 2.90 strikeout-to-walk ratio in his first 43 innings. He almost exclusively leans on his heater and his breaker when he gets to two strikes. "I wish he was here to actually play catch -- have a catch -- with me." (That one just got underway, so it's still 0-0.) Shortstop Nico Hoerner followed with an RBI single and it's 2-0 Cubs with the two-out rally. On the Cubs' end, designated hitter Nelson Velasquez and center fielder Christopher Morel are the rookies who look to figure in their future plans. The Cubs come in 45-65 and 16 games out in the NL Central. That makes them the better team here, as the Reds are 44-66. The Reds' starting pitcher is left-hander Nick Lodolo, a consensus top-50 prospect entering the season.

Major League Baseball will be back in heaven tonight. Or is it Iowa? The Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds will meet at a ballpark next to the filming ...

That joy was short-lived, however, as White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson homered into the darkened cornfields for a two-run walk-off.

For the second time MLB Field of Dreams, located in the same cornfield used in the iconic movie, will host a regular-season game as the Chicago Cubs face ...

First pitch was at 6:23 p.m. CT and the temperature was 77 degrees with low humidity. Both the Cubs and Reds each had multiple baserunners in the third inning, but neither could advance past second base. •1h ago Matt Reynolds replaced Jonathan India at second base to start the fourth inning. •1h ago One of the more interesting things to watch is former players in the stands. You'd think people would realize not to run on Aristides Aquino at this point. He's been charged with four runs so far, but is responsible for two runners here in the fifth. That's it for Nick Lodolo, who went 4.2 innings, allowed seven hits and walked four. He threw 91 pitches, 62 strikes. He allowed four hits, walked two and hit a batter. Additionally, the game was a ratings bonanza for MLB and Fox.

"If you build it they will come." And come they have to Iowa for the second annual Field of Dreams game. Keep up with all the sights and sounds from the ...

While both squads have histories that stretch back prior to 1900, the uniforms will be a little more recent than that.

The Reds' uniforms are also a throwback to the early 1900s. The Cubs' uniforms are reminiscent of throwback duds from the early 1900s. Here's what you need to know about this year's Field of Dreams uniforms for both the Cubs and Reds.

Smyly pitched five scoreless innings, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out nine of the 22 batters he faced.

John took time during tonight’s broadcast to remember his father and look back on the memories they shared together.— FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) pic.twitter.com/6VcNsyNEAq August 12, 2022 Fox is doing a good job on the broadcast highlighting the ballpark, the area, the connections of the state of Iowa to baseball, integrating players in the game on the mic and bringing in Hall of Famers Johnny Bench and Fergie Jenkins to the booth. I just wonder if the element of two bad teams is going to hurt them in ratings. The Cubs will bring in Brandon Hughes in hopes of putting out the fire. We're in the top of the eighth and there hasn't been a home run yet tonight. He got a groundout, flyout and then struck out Joey Votto looking to end the threat. Earlier this week Hall of Famer Frank Thomas, a part owner of the Field of Dreams complex, suggested construction could get in the way of MLB hosting the game in 2023. The Cubs have won the second Field of Dreams game, 4-2. He exited the game and was replaced by the aforementioned Reynolds to begin the bottom of the fourth. Remarkably, he ended up remaining in the game and playing out the string. Smyly surrendered four hits and two walks while striking out nine of the 22 batters he faced. The Reds put two runners on base in each of the first three innings but were unable to convert any of them into runs.

Jessie James Decker, Nashville-based country star, will sing the Star Spangled Banner before the 2022 Field of Dreams game between the Reds and Cubs.
