5/12/24 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Pirates 12:35 pm

In good Cubs news, Bremen Davis is alive and well and starting to stoke in AAA. 

[Tryptamine]

Cubs can't score so they pull Morel and Seiya. Seems really well thought out.

And he went German? I guess whatever it takes...

That was an autocorrect

Not sure I'm on board with the 'pull Morel in the late innings' bit when he's due up 7th and it's a tie game in the bottom of the 8th.

Doesn't matter we'll keep liking the likes of Mastrobuoni and K-anario called up.

[JHBulls]

Ian Happ’s on base streak vs Pirates continues. 

[profisme]

Of course, as soon as I tune into the AAA game, Davis gets hit by a pitch.  Luckily nothing appeared to fall off his body as he jogged to first base.  

[Tryptamine]

Well they better score now because there's no offense left in the game besides Bellinger 

[PackLandVA]

C’mon Nicky Bloops

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Nick I know that elbow is probably sore but you gotta leave it in there man, channel your inner Amaya

[PackLandVA]

Don’t normally like bunts, but liked the decision for Nick to bunt there.

[Tryptamine]

Guy with fewer contact issues pulled for guy with significant contact issues

That wasn't a bunt, that's legitimately as hard as he can hit the ball

[Tryptamine]

Good ab busch

I could have sworn that he swung, but the result was the same as a bunt.  Hard to tell with the batted ball data for Madrigal.

[Andy]

Sure, no need to swing at a fastball in the zone

[JHBulls]

Ffs, there is an open base at 1st. There is literally no chance of a DP if you swing. 🙄

Ii could swear that was a bunt.

[Randall Simon]

Why use Busch in that situation?

It was 3-1 count, he wasn't bunting

[profisme]

Would love if Mervis produced 2/3's as well in Chicago as he does in Des Moines.  He would be very useful if that were the case.  

[JHBulls]

Today must be a good day for Ron Coomer. 

[CubinNY]

Here comes the hero
