Cubs (Steele) vs Pirates (Skenes): 5/11/24, 3:05pm

Oh man I wish we could have scored there.  Don't really trust Gomes to put the ball in play

Just negative faith Yan was going to get it done there

[ToolDRT]

Christ, Yan. 

[UMFan83]

Strike 3 looking, exactly what you want to see with a runner on 3rd with 1 out.  I know its not easy in any situation much less a dude throwing 101 but brutal

[ToolDRT]

We need a nice bases clearing double here 

[UMFan83]

Should have sent the runner on Mastro's hit.

[ToolDRT]

That’s gonna bite us later. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Man, not sending Nico felt like a big mistake at the time against a guy like this... And it was.

[abuck1220]

gomes’ bat can’t catch up to 94. lol at him vs 101.

Of course if he sent him and got thrown out, I was all about to throw up the leaderboards for most outs on the bases this year which the Cubs sit at the top lol

[muntjack]

They'll probably be in the bullpen after the 5th.  Should have a good shot at this one.

He realized that, which is why he didnt even bother swinging

[mfcubs22]

Gomes has been brutal. Not watching the game, how bad was the Nico hold? Decent throw gets him?

Yeah it wasnt that bad of a call, would have been close. With Yan coming up I would taken that chance tho

[ToolDRT]

Suzuki not seeing it at all 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Yikes.  3 pitches, 3 strikes, without taking the bat off his shoulder.

Yeah 2 really bad at bats for him

[WhyCantWeWin]

Morel on the other hand, seeing Skenes really well

[PeanutPunch33]

Gomes should be Fired

I would've understood taking the chance but it felt to me like he'd have been out rather easily with a decent throw

[WhyCantWeWin]

Damn is Morel injured on that 

[ToolDRT]

Morel to the dl soon because why not?

[Andy]

And now Morel is hurt. horsefeathers hell

[gflore34]

Running on this guy is pretty good strategy hopefully, Morel is OK.

[muntjack]

Steele getting squeezed
