Cubs (Assad) vs Pirates (Jones): 5/10/24, 5:40pm

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Busch every time Morel turns to fire his way

[WhyCantWeWin]

Nico doing his Dansby impression with that awful throw 

[chibears55]

Getting guys on base, just can't get them home

[WhyCantWeWin]

My god I was so angry at that send 

[Illiterate Scholar]

2 OUT SENDS

[CubinNY]

Hanging in there 

[WhyCantWeWin]

IMO that should be an error on Morel 

[CubinNY]

I love Chris. He needs to start making plays

[UMFan83]

Great stuff by Brown on that K

[chibears55]

Brown was supposed to be on standby for a Sunday start in case Taillon can't go, so does this mean Hendricks will go on Sunday instead of getting another AAA start like they said he would?

[Illiterate Scholar]

Baseball gonna baseball 

[JHBulls]

Hopefully that’s it for Jones.

Taillon seemed pretty confident he could go, so I don't think he's gonna keep Brown on the shelf for the whole series just in case.  I think you deal with that if you get bad news, which could mean Shota, bullpen game, or Hendricks, probably in that order.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Brown might finally get that first win after being robbed earlier in the season 

[Tryptamine]

Brown was absolutely filthy that inning

[UMFan83]

Not a bad performance against Jones. 3 runs scored, 9 baserunners and only 4 Ks in 6 IP, I’ll take that. 

[JHBulls]

Damn, Tauchman was brave there. Thought for sure he’d be out. 

[UMFan83]

Come on Morel get the run home please

[JHBulls]

Morel comes through. 4-2, hell yeah.

Ding, Ding, Ding!!

[UMFan83]

Is it possible that Happ’s numbers are down this year simply because we’ve only played 3 divisional games before tonight? 

[UMFan83]

Dammit the Cubs fail at another “go on contact” play at the plate. Dont disagree with the call it’s just crazy how often we get thrown out at the plate 

[PackLandVA]

Another runner thrown out at home.

C’mon Nicky Bloops!

[JHBulls]

Did the Pirates borrow some Cub relievers?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Nicky two strikes two outs
