5/2/24 - CHC (Brown) @ NYM (Houser) 12:10 MSN

[Brian707]

19-12 to date, Chance to end the trip at 4-3.. 

How is this possible with all the injuries? 

Smoke and Mirrors but most of our injured players should be returning soon. 

Early start today so get your coffee 

[squally1313]

Dansby gets the day off, Madrigal slides into the lineup at second. Bit of a double edged sword there. 

[ToolDRT]

Hopefully the offense wakes up today. Because…yikes 🤮

Feels like we get a nice easy laugher or a fanbase meltdown because we lost to Adrian Houser.

Cubs have a bullpen rest advantage today.  Leiter is almost certainly down while everyone else should be good to go.  Whereas for the Mets Ottavino, Lopez, and Foley should all be down.

Dansby needs the day off. You could see it last night.

One thing that's cool to see is that while PCA isn't necessarily raking right now, he seems to look a LOT more comfortable out there.  Like the PCA before his HR against the Astros probably would not have gotten a sac fly like he did yesterday.  It seems like the HR allowed him to relax a bit and its showing in his subsequent plate appearances.  Could still probably use more development but he seems to be trending in the right direction.

Thought the same thing. Because of his defense, he doesn't need to rake to be an extremely valuable player and he's looking much more like one lately.

That was a really tough play last night by the wall, but I think 9 times out of 10 he's going to make it.

Dansby has been struggling at the plate and in the field.

In the little he has been up in the majors, he has shown great speed but not great defense. Hopefully that changes. He needs to make a big play to help his confidence.

Can one Wong make a right?

 

[chibears55]

Today a  5 day..

Cool to get 5 solid innings out of Brown and the bats can find a way to score 5+ runs.

Get the 20th Win and a 1st place series with the Brewers this weekend

AA depth. All the minor league pitchers are on the big club now. Someone has to pitch in TN. No chance he makes the majors.

[CubinNY]

Am I crazy in thinking that the umpires have gotten far worse this year calling balls and strikes?

[spaincubsfan]

Happ & a few more have been hopeless at the plate for weeks now, no pun intended. YEESH!!

[We Got The Whole 9]

Great hustle by Wisdom

 

Bases juiced, 1 out

[We Got The Whole 9]

horsefeathers PCA misses a double down the line by an inch

[Derwood]

PCA just quietly stacking RBI

[Crusader]

Good base running by P. Wis after drawing the walk. Stole them an out to get them the run.

[CubinNY]

The ABs have been better today. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Man wtf that went from looking like a possible FC-no out, to an easy double play call.

[Andy]

Damn was that a nice play by Jeff McNeil.
