4/24/24 - Astros (Spencer Arrighetti) @ Cubs (Jameson Taillon) - 6:40P WFT on Marquee

[We Got The Whole 9]

God can anyone hit a curve ball?

[UMFan83]

Ok then, guess we have to hope 4 runs is enough

[Derwood]

So....many....strikeouts

[UMFan83]

Neris against his former team terrifies me 

[Irrelevant Dude]

I get it, and it is probably the right move, but bringing in a defensive replacement for the guy who possibly just saved the game defensively is a bit weird.

[squally1313]

Eyeing the box scores, rough few game stretch for Busch, 0/11 with 7 Ks. 

But hey, if we're going to collectively have an offnight offensively (and 8 hits, 10 baserunners isn't some crisis), at least we stacked a couple hits before the one big one we got.

It's weird. But probably the right move until Morel makes you more comfortable. He's clearly capable of the spectacular, but he tends to lapse on the regular.

Neris is not good

[We Got The Whole 9]

Fantastic. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Neris does not have closer stuff.

[Tryptamine]

Maybe the closers can give up a few less HRs, thanks.

[squally1313]

[UMFan83]

Great start….

[Transmogrified Tiger]

wasn't even a strike

[Jason Ross]

Man...there was some iffy stuff in Neris' 2023 data. I'm not loving what I'm seeing because it's all that stuff amplified. 

[JHBulls]

Jon Lester energy. 

[squally1313]

Busch, catching the ball at first:

[Tryptamine]

Either someone via a trade or someone in the minors is going to have to come and save this pen because it is just not good.

[JHBulls]

That was a thing of beauty.

FWIW, Savant has it a strike.

I’d be worried if he was trying to hold a 1 run lead against the White Sox.

[UMFan83]

One more to go. Dont tease me Neris, finish it off

To silhouette person maybe, but not Altuve

[We Got The Whole 9]

Good split. Now don't go breaking my heart.
